Kevin looney is out for the playofs with a collarbone break. Klay is questionable with a hamstring strain or at least that is what the tests say. Perhaps JJR can tell us more based on the limp.

MRIs are not used for testing tendonitis dude. there is no structural damage when all you have is an inflammed tendon so the MRI is pointless. I've already listed several indicators that point towards quad tendonitis for Leonard. The limp itself is only 1 indicator. Typically , a GP or Physiotherapist will test for tendonitis by asking the patient a few questions and then gently placing 2 or 3 fingers very close to where the tendon meets the bone. They are feeling for inflammation. An inflammed area is warmer than body temperature. You're really learning a lot tonight. This is great. If you'd like to test this out go to your family DR and tell him or her you have "tennis elbow" in your right arm. | ||

Toronto ticket holders go to Raptors and BLue Jays games to "see and be seen"... they are not really hard core fans of the sports. Raptors tickets for game 2 were going for $1000+ and the fans still couldn't get back into their seats in time for the start of the 3rd quarter. sad stuff. Later on, Kellerman accurately points out that Leonard's legs are unhealthy and its wrecking his shooting.

Hence why I said "and other tests" and if you look at the whole post im also talking about Klay and looneys injuries. But it shows how much you process since you posted the same thing a couple posts later. Why do you need to post shit off web md? We all have access if we cared we would go there ourselves. You are not a doctor with extra insight. Clutz that can be an issue, I suggest a sandwhich with bacon. | ||

Didn't pull that off of WebMD. i've had tendonitis. its a common injury. i watched my family DR, my physiotherapist and my orthopaedic surgeon all do the same procedure that i just outlined when they diagnosed my tendonitis. tendonitis is not smallpox or some other rare malady. tendonitis is common. lots of people get it.. .and lots of people get it more than once. plenty of people who play sports get tendonitis more than once.

Your comment about Klay is incorrect and has no source. He is "likely questionable" as I stated.. with a source. I didn't want to bother to say "hey i'm correcting you" because that would be rather nit-picky. However, you want to bring it up. So here you go. Your comment about Klay is incorrect. I posted the correct prognosis for Klay with a source. Its a small nit-picky difference , however, you want to make some claim I do not process things properly. So here you go. I corrected your incorrect comment and included a source. Fun stuff eh? I'd rather talk about the NBA. Continued personal attacks will result in return fire though. | ||

And saying you are not a doctor and also that you have been posting things that are not factual are not personal attacks. They are facts. | ||

The way Kawhi Leonard is limping it looks like Quad tendonitis is causing him pain. this is what really bothers me about Kawhi. Isnt it that Quad tendonitis is one of those deceiving injuries that look minor but are actually serious. idk. wouldnt rest and load management be recommended with this?

There is also the factor that the bucks and the GSW are way better defensive teams than tge magic. could you provide some source for this? I really want to know if this is true, since im interested in stats also.

But failing to capitalize in the fourth with Looney and Klay out is inexcusable. If you can’t beat a team when three of its starters are out, then you’re simply soft. At least in this game Klay had the time to go nuclear before the injury. If the injury situation doesn't get better, the Raps will have a much deeper team than the Warriors in game 3. That is going to be the real test to see if they are indeed soft or not. Its going to be interesting to see how they handle being the favorites in a hostile environment. I think they'll fold, but I hope not because I like the Raps and I want to see a competitive series. | ||

Yeah my faith will go way down if they lose game 3, especially if Durrant is not back and Klay is out or even hobbled. And if they head back to Toronto down 3-1 I'll put their chances at like 1%. I think it is wildly important for them to at least split on the road. | ||

The Warriors on the other hand through a lot of bad luck have injuries pile up at the wrong time, and have had Curry falling off his feet in the fourth (most extreme case was when he played the entire second half to sweep the Blazers). Looney's importance this run cannot be understated, and he's not coming back. He's shaped up to be mobile, a fantastic PnR defender, and a seamless addition to nearly any Warriors lineup. KD's injury is a big deal. Before KD's injury, the Warriors averaged a whopping 119.5 points a game, in the full games since, they have not reached that mark in any one game. They've stepped up the defense, sure... but they were starting to do that against the Rockets anyways. Let's not forget that Igoudala's health has been a recurring issue these playoffs, and his part of the Warrior's system is massive. I think the Warriors are in a way mirroring the Cavs run in 2015 - even if Curry is that good, KD is the second most important player to the Warriors, and Klay the third. If Klay comes back at 50% for the rest of the series, then unless KD comes back I don't see the Warriors managing to win three of the next five, no matter if Kawhi's injury continues to limit him. Curry is unbelievable, but he needs a reliable second option to dismantle a defense, and Toronto have so many options. Of course, if KD's coming back game 4 and Klay just shrugs his injury off, then Toronto are in for a rougher time than they've ever had before. All that being said, I feel that Toronto are favored in game 3. If they manage to take it, then the Warriors need to figure something out. They've managed this quite a few times under Kerr (being down 1-2 and winning the series), but their roster being depleted definitely limits possibilities for that (which, to be fair, "Kevin Durant wins the game on his own" is such a possibility). | ||

Game 3, Durant out, Looney out (series), Klay day to day. Still, Raptors 4-2. | ||

KD is the series changer here. Warriors have no depth but they are so top-heavy and experienced that they can do with limited rotation. Toronto just needs to grind and play the numbers. Gasol and Siakam needs to be more present on defense. Lowry is trash. | ||
