Game time decision in games 3 and 4, ruled out 12 hours before game 5, ruled out 24 hours before game 6....he quit.
Just sit him for Game 7 if the Rockets win on Friday. I'm not saying we're better without him, but the young core is playing more confidently and he's not needed against the Lakers.
If you suffer a bone bruise, and swelling so bad you out. I mean you out lol.. Comon guys with so much hate, KD helped this team alot in the regular season.
Did he really? We were undefeated without him. Coach shoulda trusted the younger guys more. If anything he blocked development of our young guys and was a cancer the team with his burner account. How much better would Reed and amen be if he wasn’t on our team. And now he quit on us so how does anyone root for him still. KD was at UT same time I was. I’ve been a fan of his for years until this year. I finally see what other fan bases said all along. He’s not a leader and his teams always have chemistry issues. Maybe that’s on him.
I will tell you what--it is much more fun watching one of the youngest starting 5s in the NBA lose close games from making dumb young player mistakes than watching us lose them anyway but with KD trying to play point guard. Even that game 3 we should have won was so much more fun to watch than most of our losses this season. At this point I really wish we had either not traded for KD at all, or sent him to some third team for draft picks and bad money/expiring veterans to buy out. He is still a great player, but the stuff I've been saying for a couple of years now is still true... he doesn't fit the timeline and just takes development opportunities away from younger players who need them.
You could also say yea, Lebron company went on easy mode, dont care being up 3, and basicly buying time for Luka to sucessfully return for the okc matchup, and give Reeves some more pt time to get back to shape. We have to upset them in Game 6, and force a Gamer 7 , make them get nerveous, we have the momentum. Would it not be epic? if Durant came back for game 7 and pulls off a sensational performance to de-throne lebron lakers in 7. That would throw him into retirement early . Hey you could only wish!
