    The NBA is about narratives and they're not going to allow Lebron to get outplayed by Kevin Durant on national TV. Trust me the Rockets got that call to sit KD

    I agree. The way all that went about really turned me off from being interested in the NBA playoffs. Getting ready for the NFL Draft now.

    KD can play, they just chose not to..... he is limited than usual, they are not risking it.

    Expecting a 38 year old to play 82 games plus Playoff Games is just not realistic.

    Yes. It really took the excitement outta the playoffs. Mark my words if the Rockets make this game competitive the refs will decide this series

    Ok. Kevin Durant basically played this whole regular season through injuries but is out the 1st game of the playoffs?
