"Not 100%", and "not playable" are not precisely the same thing, FWIW. Did they know he wasn't 100%? I'm going to say yes. Did they know he wasn't playable? I'm going to say no.
Yeah, I think everyone knew he wouldn't be 100%, sad to say. I mean, just by virtue of not playing or practicing for such a long time.
the initial injury against us looked like achilles, not calf. not sure what to believe from these douchebags
Durant's own doctors and agent were involved too, so unless you believe that they were in on a conspiracy of lies to **** over Durant, I don't think this is a matter of lying about his injury and getting him to play when he shouldn't. As for the OP question, as others have said, everyone knew he wasn't 100%. I think the Warriors, the doctors (team and independent) and Durant himself believed he wasn't at risk of an even more serious injury, just an aggravation of his initial calf injury.
Right? I know it's fun to blame the big bad evil empire, but all those people rushing to throw the Warriors under the bus overlook that it wasn't just the Warriors doctors. So independent doctors helped GS "force" a grown @ss man with an MVP, two Finals MVPS, and two rings to play in a game he wasn't physically ready for?
100 percent . No I think it was a mutual decision to play and only the warriors are gettting blamed for it. KD knows his own body . He wouldn't have gone out there unless he felt good enough to go . My guess is that he looked solid in warmups A combination of increased intensity of the game and probably some overcompensation on KD's part were probably the catalysts . Or maybe GS is lying and it was an Achilles all along .
Yep and more importantly so did KD. He still got out there on the court. KD isn’t blaming anybody else for his injury. Idk why other people are trying to blame the Warriors. KD is a grown man. There was no gun to his head.
