DG_ThenNowForever Posted June 11, 2019 Share Posted June 11, 2019 The Starters on the Ringer would make a lot of sense.

Heck, they could go to The Athletic since they've expanded into digital. I remember that NBA preview with Simmons and Jalen from Grantland. The other conference previewed was Part 2 and he had to apologize for the use of the same track. I always wondered how generic the song actually is.

DaRadniz29 Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 I’ve never been to Toronto but I would hope that the cheering an injury isn’t reflective of the city of Toronto nor the Raptors fanbase as a whole, but it wasn’t a good look for the Arena from what I saw on the US feed. Nor do I think it was the mess that the media is trying to make out to be. Ive also experienced a similar injury to KD’s and know the potential severity of it. This could very well change the NBA future landscape. I mean there is a serious possibility that Durant won’t be able to play next season. If he does come back after that he may not be the same. I know some of the above might sound like hyperbole, but to me it looked like legitimate concern from the Warriors players and organization.

It happened at the same time as a turn over. I honestly think that’s what they were reacting too. The narrative that they were cheering for the injury was created by the announcers. After the play and things settled down they saw that he was legitimately injured and started cheering him (not the injury) as he left the court.

I get being on "Team Draymond" during the beef with him and KD, but to say that it extends to a bunch of "Salty Warriors fans who never really liked him in the first place" seems a bit absurd. There may be parts of KD that are frustrating at times, but even the least self aware Warriors fan realizes how much KD has contributed to this team's success. To say otherwise is operating in pretty bad faith. On 11/19/2012 at 7:23 PM, oldschoolvikings said: She’s still half convinced “Chris Creamer” is a porn site.)

That’s all I saw from warriors fans on Facebook during the Houston and portland series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
