NBA 2018-2019 playoffs thread...finals is set..”Warriors vs Raptors 2-4” Raptors win the title!!!

Spectrum said:
Yep. I literally didn't read one story questioning his "toughness". Dude just delivered them two titles and was wrecking shop in the playoffs... who was questioning his toughness if it wasn't from inside the organization???

I never questioned Durant's toughness.

Truthfully, I would see those topics come up on my YouTube feed and keep scrolling.

They must have been floating out these reports through their agents Chris Broussard.

There are a range of injures in the NBA with very different consequences: inflammatory, neurological, sprains, contusions, etc to all the parts of the body. There isn't "ready" and "100%" difference when it comes to an achilles injury. If it truly wasn't just a "calf" injury, he shouldn't have been back on the floor until he was 100%.

I think we'll find out his achilles tendon was already sprained and playing just completely tore it off the bone.

Man you could see they were icing his Achilles and not his cav.

The organization put the organization first and not KD. It’s way to see. From Kerr’s comments to the crocodile tears from the GM, one practice and then you play him. They sacrificed KD to try and three peat

we’re not really seeing the best basketball being played out there...the raptors are struggling to put away a physically depleted warriors team

Ok. That’s what was on the tip of tongue as well. Like I’m not even rooting against Golden State but it’s crazy that the Raptors don’t have enough to beat a team who is essentially “fighting with one hand behind their back”. You’re right, that’s a big reason.

That mans mom tweeted about his toughness was questioned. ..... why would she do that unless it was questioned? Fans didn’t question it. .... the reports right after game 4 said it was the organization. If you are questioning his toughness you are pressuring him. Again fuck them CAC. Those were tears of guilt.

I agree with everything you said except "tears".

I didn't see any tears. I saw an attempt at crying

IF the raptors win and it’s crazy that that’s a serious “if” cuz GS can realistically push this to 7 games now...but if the raptors win I can’t think of a team that warrants a full asterisk next to their chip more than they would

It took the Warriors 6 games to beat the Cavs in 2015 without Love and Irving

"Kerr acknowledged after Monday's shootaround that the uncertainty surrounding Durant's status has been a tedious process for all involved."

Had they been forthright about his injury, it wouldn't have been a problem "for all involved"

Just look at what looney, he shouldn’t be playing either,

One another point it’s easy to let players heal when you had that deep bench they don’t have that anymore. So the pressure to play is probably greater than previous years

All that corporate speak means someone or a lot of people are lying their ass off.

They better hope Durant doesn't Sue the team and open up that "misdiagnosed" injury.

man I felt for that brother...you could see the pain on his face every play...and the raptors kept going @ him hard and fouling the shit out of him

He gotta fuck up his ACL in order to gain respect. What kinda fuckery is that?
Click to expand...
Folks around here respected the shit out of him...

The media wants yall to think the Bay don't fuck with KD

That's pure bullshit. The hate for him was fueled by jealousy and nothing else.. Had he their team thed be ecstatic

Jalen doesn't have a history of talking out his ass

Steven A said the press was kicked out.

I think Jalen might have access that others might not?

You know something

Now that i saw a clip of Jalen comments

I think Jalen MEANT he HEARD the practice went badly.

Either way he was right and thats most important

Every fucking play I think he's going out for good.

This dude is on painkillers and he is STILL hurting.

You don't have to do that cuz...

That aint your weight to carry

This isn't about defenses and line ups

This is about the inherent racism that permeates American sports from media to fandom.

And the dehumanization of the black athlete

Its offensive and disingenuous to try and make the golden state warriors the symbol of that.

@largebillsonlyplease

Also if warriors fans HAD done that to say Kawai?

These ass backwards fans would have demanded that Golden State forfeit
 
Spectrum said:
We won't know until it leaks.

I always thought the "calf" injury shit was bullshit. It had all the signs of an achilles injury from the beginning. What the Warriors fed the media could be something completely different than what they told KD. The NBA doesn't have the type of injury-reporting requirement as the NFL.

Spec.... Or EeWwll...

WE ALREADY KNOW!!!!!

We knew his Achilles was fucked up from the start. The team and the press have been lying to the fucking masses.

We don't know and I never claimed to know

Again it's all speculation
But niggas are saying they're shit and treating it as fact when it isn't

I've only been in here saying the same thing

No pressure which there was no reporting on there being any before jus the same reporters talking shit about the warriors talking shit about KD for not manning up.
And if there had been it would have been all over instead of this revisionist shit

And his actions are not the one of a guy who feels exactly how ppl are saying he feels

And being ready isn't being 100 and he was not 100 but clearly he and the doctors thought he was and they were wrong.

Don't you find it interesting how "concerned" fans are about injuries here..

But football players play with broken limbs concussions with little REAL concern.
 
Spectrum said:
Because some of them were cheering for Durant's injury after it was clear he was hurt (and some waving at him)...which is still fucked up. When you watch the replay, a majority of the crowd is clearly following the fast break. Just look it at.

why is that distinction important is my question
why is the distinction to clarify not all were cheering for the injury is needed to say when the problem is just that raptors fans were cheering for the injury?

Its tricky.

The fact is they cheered his injury, period

Basketball been in Canada way too long for that to happen.

I'm not indicting the ENTIRE fan base.

But it was a bad look they need to just own it and get called out and lets move on.

Because if the lakers, warriors etc had cheered an injured player like that during the finals?

They would have been killed.
