Solemn Bittersweet Win For Golden State. Game 5 Will Always Be Remembered For KD. KD risked worsening the injury - and possibly sacrificing a whole year or more of his career - just to help the team for 11 minutes when team needed him most. Congrats Golden State On A Very Bitter Win. Nevertheless Kawhi And Kyle Are The Finals MVPs (so far).

Golden State would not have won Game 5 without KD's contribution, he gave them a double-digit lead that they carried for most of the game.

The fact that it took a career-jeopardizing injury for people to turn around on Kevin Durant proves how fickle and flawed sports fandom really is.

Bob Myers is very choked up announcing that KD has an achilles injury: "I don't believe that there's anybody to blame, but I understand this world and if you have to, you can blame me. I run our basketball operations department."

Bob Myers: "Kevin Durant loves to play basketball and the people that questioned whether he wanted to get back to this team were wrong. He's one of the most misunderstood people. He's a good teammate. He's a good person. It's not fair. I'm lucky to know him."

Steph Curry on the impact of KD's injury: "Everybody gets so amped up about chasing championships but life is more important in terms of caring about an individual...He gave us what he had and sacrificed his body. I feel so bad for him. Nobody should have to go through something like that."

Klay on the Toronto fans cheering KD’s injury: “It was bullshit. That was freaking ridiculous. I can’t even put into words how mad I was about that.”

Klay Thompson on Durant's tragic injury: "I have the utmost respect for KD. To put his health on the line to help his team get a championship shows what kind of competitor he is. It was very deflating because we're going to miss him."

Klay Thompson on people in the media insinuating that the Warriors are better without KD: "If anyone watched the last 3 years of basketball, you saw this man was the Finals MVP back to back. So, all those talking heads that say we're better without him, that's just ludicrous. That's crazy."

Kawhi on KD's injury: "It's devastating. You work so hard to get to this point... I felt bad for him. I've been in that situation before. I hope he has a speedy recovery and I hope that he's going to be okay mentally. I'm pretty sure he's going to attack each day and come back strong."

"The Timeout" during Kawhi's run - which was called by Kyle Lowry (not Nick Nurse) because Kawhi himself was signalling for a timeout and not getting it - will not go down as an all-time bad decision if the Raptors lose this series. Kawhi was exhausted and was trying to get the timeout. The Raptors players needed the timeout to rest and reset their floor position.

I don't care what anyone says, Kawhi is the Finals MVP of each and every game so far: Kawhi rejects Klay's three-point attempt. Kyle Lowry has also been the Finals MVP.

[Mama Durant] For ALL of you who question my son as a Man, question his Heart, question his Integrity and question his LOVE for the game of basketball, you DON’T know him. He has a heart of a true Warrior! This too shall pass. G/d Bless you ALL.
