This is going to be painful, living in the Bay Area I am going to hate what I know was coming: KD coming back as the white knight to rally the team for games 5,6, and 7. They built up the drama and now here comes the inevitable.

Sorry Raptors, heartbreak is upon you. Warriors in 7, book it.

Even with a hobbled KD.... you just can't stop all that shooting. 5-5 from 3 five minutes in.

Warriors are just gonna run the rest of this game. And the 8 quarters after that.

Why would Toronto call a timeout there? I feel like that could kill the momentum they just had. Kawhi fuckin lit up there

No surprise.... since that's idiotic timeout, GS goes on a 9-0 run.

I don't get it... GS only had 1 timeout at the point. They weren't calling one anytime soon. Toronto has the ball after going on a 12-2 run.... why kill that?

Just experienced some of the most intense weird feelings I’ve ever had watching basketball, so I come here to see what others processes out of all that is going on and everyone is just apoplectic over a bad timeout?

Really? Not the horrendous goaltending on Cousins, the backcourt, 15 other terrible foul calls the refs implanting themselves all game, Durant changing the tide and then it clearly going out again.

Unbelievable close game with this thing swinging back to Golden State where surely they force game 7.

This shits crazy and their coach who nobody knows shit the bed. Bad timeout? Really?

But y’all this playoffs is wack with intrigue yeah?

He said they lose the two timeouts after the 3 minute mark so they came across and wanted to give them a breather. It wasnt a good decision.

Sources: KD has torn achilles.

Give him props for gutting it out, but he made a bad business decision

Who knew that the Warriors were consulting with Derrick Rose's training staff?

Watching Nick Nurse call timeouts is like watching Roy Williams choking away yet another UNC title. The sad part is that UNC will always win more titles...not sure if the Raptors will ever get back to this position.

I still think someone will give him a max deal and count the 35 million as a signing bonus, knowing he will not play next year. You know someone will be looking at Kobe rehabbing it in 240 days and think they get KD for the playoffs.

The Knicks will still sign KD.
