![]() ![]() The Golden State Warriors star forward will have a long road to recovery Kevin Durant injury update: Warriors star undergoes surgery for ruptured Achilles tendon They don't have the firepower and experience to play toe-to-toe with an empowered Warriors team. Once the avalanche starts, you can't stop it. No way they lose in Oracle and the Raptors will be on tilt in game 7 (like the Warriors and Indians were in 2016). There's still two games left, but I think it's over. That's a big price to pay for one Finals game (and I don't think they needed him - Thompson was back and they were doing well when Boogie, Curry and Thompson were on the floor). Sure, he'll be back but he may never be his old self. That's an almost impossible injury to come back 100% in the NBA. I get the nobility and sacrifice of playing with an injured wheel in that spot, but if he truly tore his Achilles as a result of coming back too soon, that could "ruin" his career from here on out. ![]() Lowry's shot isn't a choke as you say, since he wasn't the primary and the ball came to him in a panic, but that's going to haunt him and maybe the franchise. As for the final possession, that was messy. Lots of threes, nothing at the rim for free throws and a backcourt violation (though I missed ~50 seconds from 1:30 to 0:40). Up 6 with 3 to play at home and an NBA title on the line, that's a team choke. I think the final 3 minutes was an overall chokejob by the Raptors. ![]() Anyways, great game and I'm looking forward to Thursday night. In fact, he was very good down the stretch. ![]() Instead, he threw it immediately to Lowery in the corner and that was not a good look. He should have held it for a couple of seconds and got it back to Kawhi. The mistake came by the guy he passed to. GS did a good job of doubling quickly on Kawhi and he was forced to give it up. He is staking a claim to take LeBron's place as best player in the league. Kawhi was absolutely magnificent in the clutch. I would understand that criticism, but his team was completely gassed, especially Kawhi. Nurse is getting a lot of grief for the TO. There were times when some of these guys-see Klay Thompson-even make it back to the bench. Hard fought game and both teams were exhausted. Classy move by Lowry and others who gestured for them to stop cheering. Classless move by the Toronto fans for cheering when they saw Durant limping. Guy risked untold millions of dollars and that didn't look good. It was kinda sad to see Durant go down like that. I finally made it through an entire game w/out falling asleep. ![]()
