    Right calf strain. He will miss the rest of the series but be back if they advance

    It doesn’t matter. We just proved we can’t beat them at oracle anyway. Tie game with 12 left and we ****ing blow it. Harden completely disappears like a ****ing ghost with the season on the line. Capela is garbage. Paul is washed. Maybe we win Friday but Curry will ****ing light us up Sunday without KD. A win tonight and we are winning the Finals 100%. We ****ing blew it. Yes. I’m mad.

    Rockets would have won in 6 had Durant not got injured.

    Yeah, hopefully I look like an idiot again and they make me eat my words again.

    The way CP is playing, even if we squeeze by the Warriors, Bucks will annihilate our one man offense.

    A typical grade I calf strain will heal in seven to 10 days, a grade II injury within about four to six weeks, and a grade III calf strain within about three months. The most common injury is a grade II calf strain that takes about six weeks for complete healing.

    we wont win 2 games against these guys. CP3 and capela one of them have to show up or its still 1 star against 3. tucker and gordon been carrying these 2 losers loads for a fraction of the price.

    The Warriors played great D. They doubled Harden and made the rest of the team beat them... and they couldn't. It's easy to take one guy out of the offense if another player doesn't step up. CP3 and Clint had to step up, and they did absolutely nothing.

    Curry plays better without kd, always has. Go back to the regular season when they beat us.

    Glad Durant is okay. Rockets blew their opportunity. Maybe next year...

    I dont trust this team to win two games even with Durant out.

    This was the game they HAD to win and they blew it.

    Really disappointed in CP.

    THIS, I honestly think we win tonight if Durant doesn't get hurt. Felt this weird energy from GS that they had to pull it out. That team did win 73 games w/o him. ****

    If KD is out, watch us get blown out in game 6, complaining about being tired.

    I realize everyone wants Harden to start going crazy scoring points but he was playing the facilitators roll and looked really tired having played almost the entire game. He only came off for a few minutes in the 2nd and 4th quarters and that was about it. Meanwhile, he didn’t get hardly any help from the other players. He can’t do it all when their double teaming him and taking the ball out of his hands. The fact is, his teammates didn’t do **** tonight. Well, Gordon played well overall and Tucker was his usual self. Other than that, no one else did anything to contribute. Capella was a complete no-show and the Rockets $160 million point guard went 3-14 with multiple turnovers while giving up a lot of rebounds to GS.

    Kevin Durant won't be back. So the Rockets still have a great chance to win this series in 7. But the Rockets absolutely blew a golden ticket. Shame on MDA...what a dunce. Couldn't rally the troops for what was suppose to be a gimmick?

    KD wont be back. You dont come back from non contact injuries like this...especially not in 1-4 days.
