I think they have to roll the dice with Klay and KD Friday -- lose that one, you're down 3-1 with two games left in Toronto.
And if KD pulls his calf again, it doesn't impact his career or future, nor would Klay snapping his hamstring.
But go back to Toronto 2-2, with KD and Klay both at 80% or better, and Cousins playing better (not surprising he would struggle Wednesday -- he's been out a long time), things would look pretty good.
Jalen Rose says he thinks KD won't play at all, and that seems nuts to me.
I agree with you. The warriors have 3 games to go to win a title, and so who cares if you go for it and can't go.
Jalen thinks KD is holding out for the big long term contract. Wait, how stupid is that?!
First, KD already has taken less money twice to be with the warriors and win a title. So, that contradicts KD's prior action.
Second, KD is gonna get the max no matter whether he plays or not.
Third, KD can get more if he stays with GS.
If KD and KT can play, they will.
We all saw what happens when they don't.
And KD isn't playing basketball solely to collect money. He's 3 games removed from winning it all in a historic 3-peat.
Last night was the perfect set up.
