Somethings are bigger than sports.
We should all know to be quiet during a serious injury and to boo the Celtics.
If you don't know those things you probably were raised in a subpar household or somewhere outside Boston.

Rebut what? Your, no I'm sorry, Ur ridiculous posts over the last 2 days trying to dismiss, rationalize, and deflect from the jackassery that was on display in Toronto warrant no rebuttal.
Nice try but I was one of the rap fans here to call out the cheering.I have repeated this throughout.
You can stop being disingenuous thank you. As a matter of fact, prove ur lies by listing the posts u falsely accuse me of.
You on the other hand, continue to make blanket statements to conjure up a reason to root against us.
In a rush to embrace the player empowerment movement KD has been made out to be a sacrificial lamb by some people as if he has no agency.
Article talks about how they were expecting to pull KD when he got tired as they were expecting him to be winded quickly but he was in such good shape/form that they were going to ride it out. Also sounds like KD and team medical agreed to the additional minutes.
This just sounds like bad luck all around.
a team can't force a player to play (like we just went through the Kawhi/Spurs saga one year ago folks), and a team can prevent a player from playing if he doesn't have medical clearance.
Bob Myers fake crying over Durant was pure cringe, I just saw the clip and started laughing at him (the gm, not kd)
Wonder if he'll opt in now and let the warriors pay him to rehab for a year before hitting FA

Sue? Lol
Nobody put a gun to his head and forced him on the court. What am I reading.
If I were KD I would make the Warriors pay me the option and sit out the entire year.
Then get the Knicks to max to the max a max contract in the offseason.
Yes, that was a very rational take in a basketball setting.
But how could they know it was serious initially? Only after the raps players told them they all cut that out. It was a human reaction from fans and they corrected it, they shouldn't be vilified for it.
No one knows what happened so I don't think we can really place responsibility on anyone's doorstep right now. If the doctors cleared him and he thought he wouldn't hurt himself again, then I can see a shit storm happening.
But it's far too early to really know anything, it's all guesswork.
I think you're gullible if you think those crocodile tears were real
Dont even get me started on his whiny "it's not fair" schtick - you know what wasn't fair? Adding arguably the best player in the game to your team when you just won 73 games the year before. So glad this "dynasty" is coming to a screeching halt.
I can't even express how wonderful it will be not reading this garbage for two weeks. Especially when your ban reason ( in a comment you deleted, coward) pisses me off to no end. Good riddance
KD can just get more money from the Knicks next year and they are still going to give him the full bag. If you're the Knicks, even if you can't get another max guy, you can still sign KD, use that other max slot to take on bad expiring contracts for draft picks, tank, and enter KD's return year with max cap space and an army of trade capital.
That works too.
But if I was on his team I would make him take all of next year off and make the priority to get paid before anything else.
KD will sign for the vets minimum with the Pistons to be a part of that Lonzo/Kuz/Reggie future.
I think you're psychotic if you think they weren't
Sometimes human beings feel emotions. I know this might be a huge shock for you and many other sports fans, but yes, the people you see on your television screen are actual people, and not characters in a television show
You caught me, I'm totally a psychopath (sociopath is actually the insult you're thinking of FYI) for thinking Bob Myers was fake crying over his soon to be free agent who is arguably the best player in the world. He definitely wouldn't act or embellish for the cameras, KD is clearly a son to him.
Get a grip.
I'll trust Tmac. Bob Myers was his agent and he said he's legit. He doesn't sound like Rob Pelinka lol
You know Myers personally? Bob Myers is good guy since I've followed the team from day 1. He made a horrible mistake by letting KD play yesterday. It's on him. He said it himself. But miss me with the fake nice guy stuff.
You sound upset
Do you know Myers personally?
No?
I didn't think so. It's all speculation, stop getting worked up over an innocuous comment.
You realize each post you've made so far has made you come off as a complete and utter asshole, right?
My point is that nobody except Meyers knows if his emotions are genuine or not. I am allowed to think they're crocodile tears, you're allowed to think that they're real. I can think that you're gullible for believing, you can think I'm a sociopath (lol) for not being convinced. If I knew the Bob Meyers defense force would come out en masse I wouldn't have even typed out my thoughts to save my alerts from blowing up.
Then put me on ignore, I literally could not care less what you think.
Yeah that's fair. We really don't know. I honestly don't think you're crazy for that position either. He could easily be exaggerating as well (even if he does feel bad). At his core though, I think he feels bad. And, he feels bad because he knows he messed up. Am I wrong? Maybe.
Imagine being so screwed up in the head that you think a good friend of KD is not in fact absolutely devastated for realsies that KD suffered a career altering injury.
Imagine still being so salty that the Warriors prevented your favorite player from winning more rings that you're overjoyed at the fact that the dynasty is coming to a screeching halt in the form of an injury.
Believe it or not, people can form emotional attachments or bond to friends/coworkers/employees. Kind of like that time our friend here formed an emotional attachment to the guy from IGN who plagiarized work from others and passed it off as his own, and proceeded to throw a shit fit because people in a thread were saying mean things about him, or to put it another way, proceeded to get "worked up" over some other people's "innocuous comments".

I guess being an asshole is 100% the intent, then. By all means, continue to jack off at the fact that KD is hurt.
😂 😂 😂
No, the actual insult I was thinking of was "shithead", but I was being polite
The reality - the actual reality - is that not every person you see showing emotion is trying to duplicitiously attempt to trick you into feeling empathy for other people (the horror!), and that nuance in human interaction and reaction is a thing that exists
I know that it's scorchingly hard for many emotionally and socially stunted sports fans to understand anything other than rage, vicious pettiness, and overwhelming narcissism, but for the sake of the rest of us, at least try keeping it to yourself next time
At his core, yes, I think he feels bad because he's probably the one that pressured/pushed Durant to play although ultimately I believe the decision was KD's alone - if he didn't feel comfortable playing he could have sat out no problem. However, I think that the crying and carrying on like KD just got assassinated was over the top embellishment. Makes sense to act like that towards a soon to be free agent. Just my thoughts, like I said, nobody except Meyers knows the truth.
Didn't Woj say the same shit about Lebron going to LA or am I confusing him with another reporter who just makes shit up?
First you call me a psychopath for calling out crocodile tears, now you think I'm performing a sex act on myself because a player got injured. This is despite the fact that I have said absolutely nothing negative about Durant.
Keep it up, I can't wait to see what's next. This is better than Chernobyl.
I was asking yesterday if it's possible that it's an achilles injury but it not being torn. I feel like I've only ever heard of achilles injuries within the context of it being torn but I mean, I'd think it's possible that there could be other type of achilles injuries, right?
I never did that, this man is delusional take him to the infirmary.
I feel like some people on Twitter were talking about how it could've been the calf because of the way it recoiled, but I have no idea. I feel like most people still think it's achilles straight up.
Really just by looking at the video, it looked like it completely snapped. But again, we're not doctors. Hoping for the best.

I get your stupidity confused with others, sorry. Still pretty embarrassing you think I'm touching myself over a person suffering a serious injury.
