    Can't say the Rockets, the rebounding and defense and size issues are real & will get exposed in the playoffs. I kinda, kinda may say the Clippers.

    Well somewhat ironic (at least for me) that literally 24 hours ago Cowherd was interviewing someone on his show that was saying the other teams that are on the fringe of a chip have to make moves and be ready because you never know when someone may go down....and then Cowherd mentioned the Durant injury a few years ago...

    Hopefully for KD it's not too serious

    Actually I would rather see Durant stay healthy and the Warriors get beaten square in the playoffs so his reputation gets trashed like it deserves to be. However, wishing a player physical harm is rally low even if you just want to troll him.

    Gonna Disagree.... a number of good teams in the West and GSW is not invincible without KD.

    Well, whenever you can't rely on D, can't grab needed rebounds, and may even be at a size disadvantage, you only reach the 2nd round and maybe the Conference Finals if you are real lucky.

    Nope. Still can't find the tears. BTW, a serious injury to Durant absolutely opens the door for the Rockets to win the whole thing.

    I'd rather it be Green or something

    I don't hate Durant, he's a wuss but he's not a bad guy

    Well...that sucks, but they still got 3 other all stars and bunch of veteran role players. It'll still be tough as hell to beat them in a 7 game series.

    Unrelated, but just like Curry won his first championship going against healthy point guards /sarcasm

    Tyreke Evans
    Mike Conley
    Patrick Beverley
    Kyrie Irving

    This is awful. I feel bad for KD.

    Warriors won't even make it to the Finals now to face the Cavs. This nukes their team.

    I would be surprised if they make it to the WCFs. They are nothing special at all. They don't have enough time to emotionally recover and rebuild their offense/defense to make a serious Finals run. Losing KD creates a gaping hole at both ends of the floor.

    You don't think the Warriors make it to the WCF?

    KD may only be out a couple weeks we'll see. But assuming that he is gone the whole playoffs than they still have all the main pieces from the 73 win team.

    Even without KD the warriors will be extremely tough.

    How can he have an opinion on an unknown injury? What if I said "IMO Durant has scabies, and is day-to-day"?
