About to say. Kobe came back and it was absolutely horrible. He destroyed himself for nothing

I feel like the Warriors lose Thursday and the narrative of their negligence intensifies

did the knicks trade porzingis for no reason now?
after durant inevitable news and not getting the first pick?

You need help. Don’t know why there’s soo much hate. Besides Dray who got a mouth and spitting facts, there’s ain’t no bad soul in he Warriors organization. If you’re like this then I Hope you hated Miami when Lebron went there to get his rings.

cap space > Kp, kp is a constant injury risk too, with baggage and didn't want to be there

Jalen Rose mentioned how KD had a workout Friday that didn't go well for anyone involved, and he was cleared to play by Monday by everyone involved.
For a Calf strain that obviously was lingering and pretty bad. IM NOT A DOCTOR but I have torn my achilles, and you feel it in your calf when it happens because the achilles tendon rolls into the calf so it's not hard (for me at least) to connect the calf and the achilles and why if you have a really bad calf, so bad that you can't practice, then that could lead to an achilles rupture.
I think it's totally fair to at least question what the process was that got KD from literally not being able to fully practice Friday because of a bad calf / achilles to him being a starter and playing 11 of the first 14 minutes of a finals game Monday. That's not fans inferring, that's not fans playing doctor, that's what happened and I would love to hear how this came to be.

fair enough. it wasn’t a sarcastic question for the record i was just wondering because i felt at the time the key kog to that trade was they assumed they were getting zion and were gonna put durant and kyrie around him with the cap space
with how everything turned out you have to wonder what they’re gonna use that cap space on
assuming they draft barrett which they should why would kyrie come over to play the same position

The Knicks traded KP because he called a meeting and told the front office he didn’t want to be here a day after the Knicks and Mavs played. The Knicks traded KP because they had a choice of losing him for nothing, or using him to clear bad contracts and pick up first round draft picks.
The Warriors and Raptors are literally in the middle of a pretty exciting finals. I don’t get the Knicks focus. Y’all really be listening to these beat writers.

I know I have money on the Raptors, but the dubs were a minus 5 ( I think) without KD, literally couldn't win it without him.
They went 20/42 from the 3pt line.
It is true that they don't have to replicate this performance to win, especially at home, but it's going to be tough.

They have to win this series to make it 'worth it'. KD may have very well sacrificed the best portion of his career, his ability to be a top 10 player all time and so much more for this clown organization. At least don't let it be in vain.

Point blank. Guys have their own personal trainers. Get your own doctors too. If something takes you out for an entire month during the playoffs, multiple NBA finals games, you should get a 2nd opinion at the minimum.
Agent or equivalent is supposed to have all of that set up.

Considering KP flat out asked for a trade I'd say the Knicks won.
They package they got for an injured player is going to be comparable to what NO gets for AD

it’s not really crazy to think about the knicks during this situation when the story for them the entire past year was that they were going to do whatever they could to sign durant and turn the franchise around
maybe because i live in NYC it’s skewed but i feel like this was a bigger blow for them than the warriors

Nick Nurse the type to put the hammer down a chick but doesn’t bust. Instead he wants to nut another time, maybe another year, or another life time.

In my heart of hearts no cap once GSW started getting into the 16, 17 3's made territory I felt like they were probably going to win last night's game. You normally don't lose when you make THAT many 3's and they made 20.
It does say something that they made that amount of 3's and still only won by 1 though.
A lot of this comes down to simple make or miss league type stuff.

Not being able to live in the now is a downfall of being an NBA fan because of the business side of things.
It was cool being a fan as a young kid and being oblivious to free agency, trades and all that. Just watching the game for the game.

KD really won that game last night.
Warriors won the 1st quarter by 6, the 2nd and 3rd was a draw and the Raps won the 4th by 5.
The Raps barely lost but they didn't deserve that game. Its wild they only lost by 1

Idk man. They were gearing up for Kyrie x KD at minimum and hopefully Zion with some lottery luck. To go 0/3 yea you have cap space going forward but who's going to want to come?

I was the same also, yeah.
Need help? Nah, you need to stop being sensitive over the internet. Understand that all words that are typed, does not actually reflect ones true individuality in reality, so keep it moving because it seems like you know the Warriors organization personally, every one of em.

Said yesterday that something seemed off
I don't think a single person is to blame. Just a few bad decisions that ultimately led to the worst case scenario.

Bro they shot damn 50% from 3 with 11 from KD and won by 1.
The Raps truly were folding and damn near won.
Last night was just weird

You may be right. Unless KD feels resentful and that he was pressured into playing.
