SFGFNCGiantsFan : 6/10/2019 8:16 pm
Looking forward to this one. KD is playing, not too surprising.

Who you got?

KD will re-pull his calf.  
madgiantscow009 : 6/10/2019 8:21 pm : link
Refs will push a game 6.
For the Warriors to win  
santacruzom : 6/10/2019 8:25 pm : link
I think they'll need Durant to be 80% or better, the refs to frequently call fouls when Curry gets sandwiched off the ball, and/or the Raptors non-stars to cease making back-breaking, end-of-shot-clock 3s. But man, that Raptors team is confident and I don't think those shots are flukes.
Raps in 6

Durant just being on the floor should open up a lot for Steph and Klay.

Yeah. I think KD plays today and doesn't play game 6.
let's get this done tonight

It's time for the world to get focussed on Zion again (who looks an awful lot like Anthony Bennett).

I'm lazily making reference to their shared girthiness and what has to be a concern about getting too wide too fast.

Bennett was a bust BECAUSE he didn’t utilize his physicality enough. Zion is a different type of animal.

Oh right, I forgot that there was an Anthony Bennett the basketball player! I assumed you were referring to Tony Bennett of, "I Left My Heart in San Francisco" fame.
Vancouver is vibrating

So the Raptors of Toronto are making waves in Vancouver? I guess it really is an “entire Canada” moment.

Vancouver sports fans are bandwagon jumpers par excellence. I didn't really notice the bandwagon before this year. I usually quite enjoy rooting against the grain. In this instance I just want GS to lose.
Man  
santacruzom : 6/10/2019 9:18 pm : link
Those Raptors are sure getting into the landing space of the Warriors on some of those 3s. Those would be fouls the other way, I'm thinking.
Kawhi baby!  
adamg : 6/10/2019 9:25 pm : link
Get the and 1
Will Toronto be called for a foul  
dep026 : 6/10/2019 9:26 pm : link
This quarter?
Raptors look like they have this one again  
adamg : 6/10/2019 9:26 pm : link
KD is on the bench already. Is he done?
There it is!  
dep026 : 6/10/2019 9:28 pm : link
And of course Lowry complains.
Of course he complains  
santacruzom : 6/10/2019 9:30 pm : link
He's wondering why they suddenly decided to call a foul. Fair enough.
Dumb foul there  
SFGFNCGiantsFan : 6/10/2019 9:30 pm : link
by VanVleet.
I'm rooting for Toronto, but Good God  
SFGFNCGiantsFan : 6/10/2019 9:31 pm : link
is Lowry tough to root for. He bitches about EVERYTHING.
Where are all the GSW fans complaining about fouls now?  
adamg : 6/10/2019 9:34 pm : link
You got a cheap one there.
KD, 3 for 3 from  
SFGFNCGiantsFan : 6/10/2019 9:40 pm : link
beyond the arc.
Welp there goes the series

Raps fans cheering KD's injury.  
SFGFNCGiantsFan : 6/10/2019 9:51 pm : link
Classless.
he grabbed at his achilles  
nygiants16 : 6/10/2019 9:51 pm : link
..
Did Durant just fucking blow his achilles?  
Oscar : 6/10/2019 9:51 pm : link
.
Durant  
threeofakind33 : 6/10/2019 9:51 pm : link
Is done.

Raps fans disgrace themselves.
KD re-injures the calf.  
bceagle05 : 6/10/2019 9:52 pm : link
What a shame - this series was about to get VERY interesting.
And  
threeofakind33 : 6/10/2019 9:52 pm : link
Although I didn’t have a rooting interest up until now.

Go Warriors. Fuck that shit from the Toronto fans.

Yeah the Warrior fans are a lot better...
I fully expect it's his achillies.  
SFGFNCGiantsFan : 6/10/2019 9:53 pm : link
& he'll be out awhile.

Only makes sense when he's probably Manhattan bound.

(Cracking open bottle of Jack. Chugging.)
had the same injury as Durant before.  
madgiantscow009 : 6/10/2019 9:54 pm : link
the pull seems like it is a small area the size of a dime and feels like a pop. After 7-10 days it feels fine and then you pull it again. You feel fine again and give it an extra week this time and it pulls again. Probably took four months all together.
Don’t care about the Knicks  
Oscar : 6/10/2019 9:54 pm : link
I would be bummed for KD if he tore his achilles trying to help out his team like that. Could easily have made a business decision and sat this one out.
KD seemed to be walking fairly normally in that last shot.  
PhiPsi125 : 6/10/2019 9:56 pm : link
I don’t think he’d be able to do that if he blew his achillies. Rest up, big man.
hope he didn't rush back and hurt himself worse  
RasputinPrime : 6/10/2019 9:56 pm : link
damn.

Good for the Raps but this could also fire up a more than capable Warriors team.
Raptors look lost now  
adamg : 6/10/2019 9:56 pm : link

Kobe Bryant shot 2 free throws after teaeing his achilles
Looked like Achilles this time  
GMEN46 : 6/10/2019 10:00 pm : link
Is it common to rush back from a calf and have an achilles injury?

I'm pretty sure Kobe walked off after his. He might have taken FTs too, but I recall him going back to the locker room mostly on his own

probably still the calf. it goes lower than just the bulge.
This would be the ultimate Knicksian outcome  
Dave in PA : 6/10/2019 10:04 pm : link
A farkin torn Achilles mere hours before becoming for all intents and purposes a free agent
wonder how much the warriors pressured him to play  
nygiants16 : 6/10/2019 10:05 pm : link
..
That is an absolute horrific call on Green  
dep026 : 6/10/2019 10:08 pm : link
Absolutely atrocious.
Chances are about 99 percent that he re-injured the calf.  
bceagle05 : 6/10/2019 10:11 pm : link
I'm not gonna get hysterical yet.
Dep, agree 100%.  
SFGFNCGiantsFan : 6/10/2019 10:11 pm : link
That was a weak ass foul call on Draymond there.

dep026 : 6/10/2019 10:12 pm : link
I am still flabbergasted how you can make that call for Lowry who initiated the contact and was off balanced. That was more of an offensive foul than anything.
Hell of a first half for Steph  
Greg from LI : 6/10/2019 10:21 pm : link
Has to keep that up for the Warriors to have a chance.
