    I'd be shocked if he didn't play. They get 2 days off between Games 1 and 2.

    It would be hilarious though if he sat out, Reed started in his place, and the Rockets won anyway. They were 4-0 without KD this season.

    I knew it was suspicious that the injury luck was falling our way. The basketball gods do not like us like that

    This is awful. Prepare yourself for a long series if KD is hurt.

    Rest him game 1 and start Reed. Rockets will smoke them.

    We would sweep them if KD doesn’t play.

    Well at least we won't have to witness KD's 4th quarter turnovers

    One silver lining..

    An offense centered around Sengun, Amen, Reed, Jabari, etc. would be fun to watch.

    Dorian Finney Smith about to start and take out his revenge on Bronny.

    The ONLY thing they needed was for him to be healthy in the playoffs. That's it. Nothing else ****ing mattered at all, so of course he gets hurt now...

    If KD missed the series I straight up would not care. Honestly I might actually prefer it. Makes no difference really.

    If anything I'd rather see what the young guys have. Both of these teams playing for the right to get blasted by OKC so who gives a ****.

    I wonder if Ime is regretting having them do Oklahoma drills at practice this week to make sure they were at the proper toughness level.
