looks like GSW arent missing Durant..... Green may be prophetic.
I think that's premature when it's not even been 20 minutes of game time since it's happened. Injuries in-game tend to demoralise a team or stir them in my experience.

Give D'Antoni home-court and time to strategise for GSW without KD and I think it's different

true

I bet Shaq is going to have something to say about Durant's injury.

Rockets shall take advantage of Durant's injury in Game 6, and finish them off in Oracle Arena.

Still rolling with my Rockets prediction!

If it's Denver repping the West, then Toronto is going to devour them.

They have to do an MRI before they can confirm but they don't think it's his achilles. He may have dodged a bullet
Any odd typos are because I suck at typing on an iPhone :D

According to this, it's a calf strain. I'd hate for it to be a torn achilles. Even though he's not on our team, I don't want to see that happen to a player of Durant's caliber (or any player.)

Its amazing how every NBA fan is also a Doctor with a specialty in Sports Medicine. Even more amazing is how they can all diagnos an inury just by seeing it happen.

I work in a physical therapy clinic as surgical coordinator dealing with athletes every day. I'm not a doctor, but some injuries have tell-tale signs. Hopefully it really is his calf.

Makes you wonder, how come a type of player like Durant can get hurt like that but LeBron James hardly gets hurt.

The simple answer is different bodies react differently to stress and workload.

If its achilles, Knicks and Clippers lost out big time.
The league will have lost big time. Always awful when an all time great gets a serious injury.

I miss watching the Warriors with Steph as the focal point of the offense.  They were such a likable team (minus Draymond's antics) before Durant arrived.  Unfortunately, for them, they don't have the depth to win the title without KD. 

I think the title is coming to Toronto if KD can't return.  Kawhi will continue with his Jordaneque playoff run the rest of the way.
