    Call it ironic but watching the young guys even if they fail.....will get them more experience than KD as part time PG.

    He was supposed to be load managed in the regular season and played almost 40 minutes a game. Don’t be surprised if this is a recurring problem in the playoffs—however many rounds we are in it.

    I've been convinced the NBA is rigged. Now its 100% confirmed. No way KD been playing all this season then sits out game 1 of the playoffs

    The line (Houston favored by 5.5) hasn't moved since the news of KD's injury came out. Interesting.

    It doesn't look like anyone is taking Durant's injury status seriously.

    Yeah, but still.

    People are talking about Durant turning to the dark side (Klutch), so maybe that bruise gives the Rockets a chance to bench him if he turns sabateur.

    Pretty sure we'd still win but I'm sure KD will play. Hopefully we blow them out and give him some rest.

    Pinning your hopes on a has-been cancer is a loser azz mentality. Will I watch? Yeah I've been watching this team for 30 years. Do I give a **** about KD being on this team? Nope. Do I think we will win a title with him on it? Lol **** no. Maybe if he comes off the bench when hes 40 and players who actually give a **** are the ones carrying his bum ass to a title like Curry did.

    I'll do what I always do. Hope for the best but expect Dickerson to do what he's always done. Dribble it off his foot or turn it over when it matters a lot but he'll have a miracle shot at the end a game and thats what people like you will focus on.

    KD glazers are like the final evolution of JOFs.

    If he doesn't play our defense will be a million times better, and our offense will flow through everyone but be less efficient.

    The line, it moved, not just a shift, it moved to 4.5. :confused:

    But then Clutchfans will provide Udoka with an excuse for a problem he helped create

    FVV and maybe Adam’s injury was a total accident!

    it’s not like it would have been a double win and we had players to develop either
