Hasn’t even played, why even activate him

Steph Curry and a bunch of bench players.

GS's lack of depth rearing its ugly head. No pity here.

Any team who is missing 2 or 3 starters (I believe Looney started a few games) and have other players banged up would look pedestrian.

GSW has to take the physicality to the Raptors to start game 4.

Lowry has moved onto my All Annoying All NBA team with Paul and Harden. The “tough until not” style of play is rather cheap. I don’t know how you jump into a player moving sideline to sideline, who is probably 20 pounds lighter, and flopping like you’ve been sniped is a charge. The begging for the ref to give an opponent a tech is petty too.

I’m shocked Green didn’t pick up a tech or fined. He was cussing out refs left and right in the second half.

Have not been impressed with Cousins or Green honestly.

My point is more that when you use all of your cap space to fill out your starting 5 with superstars, the downside is your bench is going to be bad. So if injuries hit, you're toast. They hardly have any bench players who would even be in other team's rotations.

EG selected as one of 20 players to participate in the 2019 Team USA Camp. The group of 20 players will be refined as the team prepares for the 2019 FIBA Basketball World cup hosted in China.

Really bad look for a fan base to be actively cheering an injury. Not all the fans did, but the ones who did are idiots

[KingPG21]

Kind of surprised it took so long for someone to isolate this one thing.

I guess early takes are at best it might have been scar tissue popping?

 

I can''t tell, he put so much pressure on his other leg on the next cut/move that it could explain why he didn't react like you normally would with an acl tear. But that isn't the calf

You've got a wide-open 3 from the corner to win the NBA championship -- and you hit the backboard? ... Really?

If KD ruptured his achilles last night, he certainly has a large tolerance for pain. I ruptured mine in December and was down in a fetal position immediately.

Yeah there are few things you can tear that painful. Ouch. Hate that for the league and him. The NBA is better with prime KD.

He will be 31 next time he plays. With this injury not sure we ever see prime KD again.

That’s why you have a proven winner take that shot and not one of the old regime Raptors taking that shot. Give me either Leonard, even double teamed, or Green rather than Lowry.

If GSW win in Oakland i see them as the favorites back in Toronto.

Where were the calls on GSW shooters last night. Thompson got blatantly hit on the elbow in the corner and the official wasn’t having any of it. There was another shooter up top that got hit that they just completely ignored.

I like Toronto in the east but that crap last night from their fans was classless.

Van Fleet's "defense" on Curry has been grabbing onto Curry's hip/waist never letting go and hoping he doesn't foul out. I get that defense is usually more physical in the playoffs, but he has been holding Curry all series. 

[KingPG21]

So......... do you sign KD to a 4-5 year ma knowing that first year he won't be KD?
