must be doing two days for travel?
remember when the nba had like three game 7s on mothers day? maybe they should get more flexible about playoff scheduling

i've always assumed that they try not to go against the nhl finals as a professional courtesy thing and those guys had to play tonight
― call all destroyer, Monday, 10 June 2019 02:39 (four years ago) link
Yeah it’s lame. The 2-2-1-1-1 sched means 3 days between games on the back end of the series
― big city slam (Spottie), Monday, 10 June 2019 02:51 (four years ago) link
I guess it depends on how lame you want the players to be. At this point, everyone but the deep bench players are exhausted, banged up and running on sheer will power, if they aren't already on the injured list.
― A is for (Aimless), Monday, 10 June 2019 02:55 (four years ago) link
Lame from a fan perspective just wanting to watch games. Great for players to have the extra day.

Strange thing to say (confirmed on the sports station this morning), but the general feeling here is that the Raptors have to close it out tonight. A Game 6 in GS (especially if Durant's back) wouldn't be promising, and no one wants a Game 7, even at home. I bought a ticket this morning for a new Watergate documentary this Sunday night. Supremely confident? Hardly--I wasn't even thinking about the possibility of a game. If it does come to that, I guess I eat the ticket.
― clemenza, Monday, 10 June 2019 14:16 (four years ago) link
yeah Durant is a huge wild card at this point but the Warriors are a lot more hurt than the Raps are and I don't think you're gonna see KD anywhere close to 100% (if he plays at all)
― frogbs, Monday, 10 June 2019 15:10 (four years ago) link
maximum drama
Kevin Durant is a game-time decision for Game 5, per Warriors coach Steve Kerr.Interpretation: He’s playing.— Monte Poole (@MontePooleNBCS) June 10, 2019

I get the feeling that the Raptors wouldn't be fazed a bit if Durant is a last minute pencil-in and he plays. Their confidence as a team is rock solid right now. I don't see them choking at all. In order to win tonight the Dubs will need to be firing on all cylinders, whether KD plays or not.
― A is for (Aimless), Monday, 10 June 2019 19:13 (four years ago) link
They're 2-0 against Durant this year, for one thing
― reggae mike love (polyphonic), Monday, 10 June 2019 19:25 (four years ago) link
first one was with no curry or draymond and it went to OT KD had 51/11/6
second one had no Kawhi and they smoked us by 20 but that was when they still had Dorell wright, Jonas and Onanuby was healthy so kind of a completely different team.

short bursts

short bursts of cartilage

just what the doctor ordered. short bursts

they say you should stretch "in short bursts" before any strenuous physical activity

Feeling very queasy, like this is all a big set-up, Kirk Gibson writ large. At various points during the series, I've thought that I wanted Durant to come back, so Toronto could win and there'd be no talk of asterisks. I don't want that now. I want him to go out there for five minutes, call time-out, and walk off shaking his head: "Sorry, just can't do it."

ibaka was pretty violent guarding durant, sadly think that was bound to happen.
surprised it was there, not when serge dove at his legs.

this sucks. kd was having such a good game.
― sknybrg, Tuesday, 11 June 2019 01:52 (four years ago) link
That was embarrassing for the city. What I said above was just Durant saying "I can't do it tonight"--didn't want him to re-injure anything.
