That whole organization, from the players to the coach to the staff, pressured KD into playing.
Steve Kerr kept using Kevin as a "oh he might be back tonight, who knows!" since the Rockets series. This is his fault for not simply saying "KD is injured, he's out, we move on until he's back whenever that is"
and why did the Warriors staff clear him to play tonight, KNOWING he had an existing achilles injury?
Kevin Durant, as we know him, will never be the same again. Nobody comes back from a ruptured achilles and plays like before.

If that’s a full thickness tear, he’s out most of next season. Heart of a champion right there.

And this vindicates Kawhi Leonard. He knew he wasn't ready, and he sat out and told the Spurs to go take a hike. Now Kawhi is healthy, strong, and about to win his 2nd Finals MVP.

The man cane back early to help save his team and potentially risked the future of his career. Not a Durant fan btw, can’t stand the dude but I gotta respect how he came back early from his injury to play for another ring that nobody will give him credit for if they win.

It’s because the Warriors have tortured everyone with the constant KD coming back/isn’t coming back news. They said it wasn’t a serious injury. The media said once KD came back the Raps were done. So people were happy this game playing of theirs was over. THATS what they were cheering. People don’t like being jerked around with.
Of course no one wants to see someone hurt and when he was going off they clapped for him. It sucks that he has a torn Achilles. It’s complete crap that the Warriors haven’t been serious about his injury and even let him play. That was completely stupid.
