2025 NBA Season

They say that any kind of Durant is very much welcome to play in game 5 in the Finals, he might be the savior. I am not a fan of KD but for sure the Warriors badly needed him now as he can change the complexion of the game, he can be a morale booster to his team mates.

From -3.5, now down to -1.5 Raptors, that means Durant will play, as for the Warriors fans, this is a good news as their hope is now alive.

Yes Durant might really play the game now.
But this will be his own choice and not the medical team of GSW now their management.

If he is cleared to play, then I guess he is capable. Where can we read something about the news? like a source, please give us.

I don't know if he can be the saviour though. I'm still under the impression that he will not play because the injury is not yet fully heal. I mean yes, it's a championship and very critical game but what will it bring to him in the long run? It he aggravated his injury then we might not see him not playing the whole season, so KD is going on a lot of dilemma right now.

But I don't think that Kevin Durant can turn the series over. And I do hope that he makes the right decision to play in the next game. I mean is he 100% heal from this injury? Or he just want to play and contribute?

But at the end of the day, all his efforts is not enough to win the trophy for the Golden State Warriors? Maybe its really the time for Toronto Raptors to have their first championship this year. And not even the great Kevin Durant will stop that destiny to happen to the Raptors.

This era has really soft players, I doubt Michael Jordan would be sitting out the Finals with a minor injury like that.  Durant was never a  fighter though, that is why he left the Thunder and joined the Warriors in the first place.

No, that is not the reason at all.

Something is different in the Warriors team that made him take the offer.
It is the unselfishness of the team.
Curry had given up so much for KD. You can see that with the plays. Even with all that isolation, Curry still is happy playing with KD. Way too different than how he is playing in OKC. Look at Westbrook stat padding just for his own record and not even consider to get a championship.
Different than the mindset of Durant.
Westbrook can do 20 20 20 if he want to but why not do it everytime so they could get to the championship?

Players have different kind of perspective and goals. Some wants a championship and mostly are for money now unlike before.

Yes Durant might really play the game now.

Even if Kevin Durant does play tonight for Golden State, he is nowhere near 100% and will be see limited time.
If I was holding a Golden State futures ticket, I would be hedging on tonight's game if you want to keep your money.

I would not consider Kevin Durant's injury as minor. However, the healing period should be enough I guess for him to play. Don't just expect a 100% performance. Might be unfair to others as most of KD's teammates are also playing with injuries especially Kevon Looney which already ruled out at the rest of the series (I like the determination but I'm against at this action) but we all don't know if there is other stuff involved.

Well then, although it's still currently a "game-time" decision if KD will play, lots of reports already that he will definitely play. People can expect for it but don't rely purely on it until they see KD on the floor later on.

Line odds almost even now on online bookies, got a feeling that KD is a go come game time. He may not be 100% but somehow he will have a big impact to the Warriors and this might throw off some of the defensive plan of the Raptors. All of the Warrior's injured player's might be back in this very important game 5, Looney, KD, Klay are clearly not 100% physically hope their heart to win is more than that.

That is what I am saying before. GSW is not tough when KD is not present. Steph and Klay can do three points shot but they need also the hand of Durant. As of now, I am looking forward for the new champions. Welcome Toronto raptors. Let's go Kawhi and Green. Betting in Toronto is somewhat satisfied me.

Do we have some advance streaming to see if he's playing tonight? well nevermind, few hours left and we will see if he's really going to play or not.

It happened! Look how Golden State Warriors play if Kevin Durant is there. What I don't want to see on this Game 5 is Kawhi Leonard, if they can't control Kawhi Leonard, an easy champion for Toronto Raptors.
Since Kevin Durant is in, Toronto Raptors need to improve their defense, especially on the paint and three-points area.


Look at the odds, even Kevin Durant able to play. But the odds, still close with Toronto Raptors. Maybe some people already learned

Well yeah, those reports were true that he's playing tonight cos' I'm watching it now. 

Q1 has ended and GSW got a 6 point lead.

That is because Durant is not fully health, I am watching the game now, and Durant exited in the first quarter, looks like not coming back anymore.
We the north will have its first championship tonight, I guess.

So Warriors forced and let KD play. Good start for KD. It's really different if KD is in the floor. Raptors defense won't mainly focus in Curry, as well as Thompson. GSW waited for this time before they will take a risk on KD and let him play. Although not in his top condition, the pressure he is putting in offense is good.

Edit: KD is hurt, it seems he is out. Kudos to Raptors fans, cheering and shouting his name while he walks into the locker room. Attitude and respect.

It' just sad for Kevin Durant, it seems like he still not fully recovered on his injury. Even before that incident, he already felt the pain on his leg.
Also kudos to Serge Ibaka and other Toronto Raptors players for waving the fans that not to cheer for Kevin Durant injury. I feel bad to Kevin Durant, he really eager to play and win the game.

[kotajikikox]

Kevin Durant out of the game.his ingury hurt.how sad I am.What will happen now for GSW? Well lets wait and see if GSW can make it to win.loosing durant not enough defense.Whatba sad to say I think Toronto now gonna win for the champion.

He's did tried but once again the injury attacks and he can't forced to continue playing, out in early 2nd quarter and reports said he can no longer to
play back and force this one to help his team.

Though he can't continue but the spirit of Warriors still high and they are keep fighting back to stay at the lead. Good luck DubNaions.

GSW still leading though as the Raptors missed a lot of open looks beyond the ark. If the Warriors can sustain their energy, they'll probably force a game 6. If not, then raptors will take over. Durant departure was an unfortunate event, they should not have forced him to play.

[Harkorede]

Warriors wins game 5,

It was a hard fought for them indeed, and it also come with a great cost, KD is out of the series 

I don't know if the Warriors has only delay the inevitable, but so it seems.

[kotajikikox]

Yes GSW won the game by the help of thompson.for 3 points.they made it GSW points 106 while TOR points 105.I thought that toronto gonna win and get a champion final games today.but Im glad GSW got won.thanks for the good play.
See you nxt game.
