Ok fine shut him down
This blows
As much as I'd love to win the le this year, it's not worth sacrificing KL's future. He will lead us to at least two more championships, IMHO. We likely weren't taking 4 of 7 from GS without HOTS, anyway. Without a healthy KL, we have no realistic shot. Sucks, but it is what it is.
Yeah he's walking on eggs s right now. The way he reacted when he lightly stepped on Lee's foot let's you know how bad it is. Spurs haven't even released the results of the MRI and what grade the sprain is, IIRC.
Series is still in the air, it hasn't been decided yet, Warriors did what they are suppose too win at home... If Khawi is at least 75% or higher He will play and that's enough of an edge well need to win in SA.. We do what we need to and series is back to even..
the 2nd best player in the league @ 75% is better than 80% of all the nba players combined.
** from a medical perspective you cannot really make sure sprained ankle any worse once its sprained unless you brake your ankle (severity will not rise if reinjured), the likely hood of him breaking it is very low.. -- that being said because its not fully healed the poor kid is more acceptable to tweaks, but I would trust in the staff to to whats best for the player.. I fully expect him to play during this homestand... " Long live the legendary GAME 5"
If he can go give him a go, if not sit him.
If he is ready for game 4 then that is when he should be back.
If Kawhi is healthy how do you not play him? The MRI results were good.
I'm starting to hear more and more now that pop is calling it a season and letting Kawhi rest the remainder of the playoffs. That might be why the team seemed so deflated because they probably already know and don't see the point in even trying anymore.
Sources??
From where?
He's twisted the same ankle 3 times in the last 7-10 days...how can he be healthy?
I know this is just sour grapes fan talk, but no one gives a about anyone's asterisk. A ring is a ring is a ring. You don't see any banners with asterisks. When people say Lebron has 3 rings, no one says "but two were with a stacked team so *".
I'll take all the asterisks, I just want us to ring. I don't care if the other team goes out and stages a sit-in midcourt, a ring is a ring.
Anyhow, SA is just the conference finals. They have to beat the defending champs to ring. If Cleveland is healthy and the Dubs ring, it's a ring. If Cleveland is down to just RJ running the point and scrubs off the bench, it's a ring. No one gives a . Durant didn't give a when he went to the team with the best record in the history of the NBA. He just wants a ring. LMA just wants a ring, but doesn't see it happening now. Why should he be interested in showing what he can do, showing the heart of a warrior? He's done. It's all just entertainment now.
The former Athletic Trainer in me says he's getting treatment. Some PT is pushing all the fluid out of his ankle and they are running Cryo and Heat in cyclical fashion. He gets to wear a boot when he's not in treatment and I bet the Spurs have him sleeping in a Hyperbaric Chamber.
I'm fairly certain he's going to play. The David Lee incident was more a tweak than a sprain. The Zaza was pure thuggery and any challenge like that ON A FADEAWAY JUMPSHOT should be an automatic Flagrant foul.
Nothing real reliable. Just heard skip say it and Eddie house agreed. Hope they're wrong though.
Shut him down. Damage was already done during game 1.
He could ask Matt Barnes to tell him, Matt has shut him down before.
"Just a sprained ankle".lots of pussies in here
Its just a sprained ankle. If hes 80% or better he should play. There are no guarantees to anything he could get run over by a train during the summer.
I do agree if hes below 80% no point in playing
I give it a 60% chance he plays
He turned it 3 times in like a week. Have you ever played basketball? That's a injury. Let the man recover.
I'd shut him down if he's not 100%!!! An if he plays an they're down at the half by 20.... I'd take him out an shut him down also. No reason to wreck the future over this roster.
Too soon man too soon
I unfortunately agree. Long-game.
Pussy talk tbh...
if he is healthy enough you play him and give him a shot... this is his team he should be the one to decide. What kind of leader would go ? I'm ok but I won't play to preserve myself and let you guys be humiliated
Why the does anyone care what a Warriors fan thinks? come on
