Ouch. It looked really bad. Hope for a speedy recovery.

 

[Avs_19]

Just awful. Horrible couple of days for injuries to great players. Hopefully he comes back as the same player and still gets the max contract he deserves this summer.

He really tore his ACL, came jogging back, hit two FTs, and then jogged back to the locker room with the hope of returning.

 

[These Are The Days]

Jesus the Warriors are dropping like flies

 

[StreetHawk]

Brutal. Had hoped it was just a sprain or something.

 

[The Night King]

This is insane.

 

[Reality Check]

Safe to say there will probably be a new team emerging from the West next season.

This why a dynasty will never last forever. Crazy that Chicago was able to avoid pretty much any of this in the 90's.

Golden State goes from top dog to honestly being in danger of missing the playoffs.

The dynasty ends through no act of their own. That's brutal.

 

[Dr Pepper]

When he jogged back out to play, I was hella skeptical since he'd been flopping all season, even pulled his hamstring while trying to draw a call.

After he got pulled, though, I figured it had to be serious. Plus you'd think the Warriors dont want to be the team that drove both KD and Klay into the ground.

 

[PG Canuck]

And just like that, the dynasty is likely over. Unreal he came back out - just shows the adrenaline these guys operate on.

 

[Tkachuk Norris]

When I thought the Warriors .org. Was going to put him in the game I was PISSED. Curry and clay will be back, don’t ruin two stars careers

Not close. Curry is still a top 5 player in the game, Green is up there, and they’ve got surprisingly decent depth.

They’ll “struggle” next year relative to their past success, but they should absolutely be a playoff team still. Them missing the playoffs entirely would be a massive upset.

 

[Reality Check]

They reached the Finals five straight years. That shit adds up.

Unless you're an outlier such as Lebron and Jordan.

Maybe if they played in the East. But not in the West..​

Klay and Durant are both free agents.

Klay and Durant are both free agents.

KD is 99% opting into his extra year with the Warriors. He’s going to get paid $30M to rehab his achilles and take his time to return this time.

One of those dudes takes steroids and the other is just a stone cold competitor who don't give no ****s bout nothin....and also took some time off to recover in the form of gambling and playing baseball

I hate GSW but do respect and like them Splash Brothers, especially Klay. best wishes on the recovery

 

[Ainec]

Klay and the refs would've won this game for the GSW

I never like to see players get injured, but as someone cheering for the Raps I have to acknowledge that his injury really provided the Raps a solid chance of winning

NBA players have tons of free time. Jordan didn't retire to give up millions and gamble. He wanted to play baseball.

Yeah he gambled and played baseball and came back refreshed and did another 3 peat .Where do we disagree bro?

He retired to play baseball. Gambling and resting had absolutely nothing to do with it.

Semantics bro. While he was playing baseball he subsequently rejuvenated from 3 straight finals, and of course he gambled
"Besides, it’s been rumored that his first retirement was actually a secret gambling suspension, but that the league didn’t want to taint the image of the ultimate face of the NBA, the guy that made this sport so popular and beloved."- some random article I found in 30 seconds
