    Just like we won today??

    GSW will go back to their motion offense and out of simpathy for Durant, refs will let go illegal screens.

    With Kevin Durant out for the series. This might be the only chance CP3 gets to attain a Ring. He has to know that his legacy hangs in the balance. James Harden needs to also be hungry for this moment.


    I believe. Rockets in 7.


    Goodnight.

    No kidding. It’s like they either relish the thrill of defeat, or are 13 years old. We lost a game. We haven’t lost the series.

    CP3 doesn't give AF. He got his money. If he cared, he would have won THIS game.

    If you said to me before the game:
    'You can choose to lose, but KD won't play at all in games 6 and 7'
    Would I have taken it?

    Maybe!

    This series is so close anyway.
    We would PROBABLY win game 6 at home with KD playing - without him it feels like all the momentum swings our way.

    Iggy is tired
    Curry is lost in his own head somewhere
    Klay now has to face Tuckwagon
    Capela doesn't have to switch onto KD anymore (the matchup that was killing us)

    Down 3-2 but surprisingly confident!

    I changed the thread title from "KD will be out the rest of the series." to "My guess is KD will be out the rest of the series"

    even if he did play, he would be playing really hurt which actually hurts the warriors more. i wish he would play.

    Yep.

    The game was tied or close to it when Durant went out and we still lost the game.

    It's not like Durant went out and we still had a 20 point lead to overcome.

    It was basically tied game going into the 4th without Durant and they outplayed us.

    You are an embarrassement with that comment even more than the rockets were tonight.

    Even if we wanted to rebuild its impossible with the contracts we have.

    That was an eye for an eye.

    They take the win, we take our chances without KD.

    The splash brother is able to kill us using 3 points. It is a trap

    I wasn't trying to play doctor, sorry for those suspicious. I went to WebMD and then did a google search to find anything about recovering in less thab 7 days.

    If the diagnosis was correct meant exactly what it says.

    I thought we were winning the series 2 seconds before he got hurt, and I'm not changing my mind now.

    Man this sums it up perfectly. Steph will put the rockets away in game 6 in Houston. Morey CP3 MDA and Harden will never see the finals/ win a chip. It’s unfortunate.

    Game 5 should have been won ( especially with KD out)

    When KD goes down, Warriors are playing with house money at home. Our entire game plan revolved around them having KD. 24 hours is plenty of time to make adjustments and decide how we want to limit Steph and Klay.

    Other big thing: If we drag Draymond up to play the pick and roll, there will be no Durant down low to contest Capela at the rim like he has done a few times. I am really confident that we'll be fine.
