Oh my goodness, Indiana is such a mess. Up 14 less than 3 minutes to go, and they've given up a major run and are now going to be up just 2 with a minute to go.

Would be a major, major loss for them with a really tough schedule the rest of the way, putting them in jeopardy of missing the playoffs.

The entitled whiner (James) throws Baker into Beasley and no foul called. He could have injured either one of them.

Cavs have added Deron, Korver, and Bogut since the season began.

Yea it is pretty lame. What was our biggest in season pickups of the big 3 era. The one year we got PJ Brown?

@pho

yep, Cavs now have lots of quality role players. If the finals are GSW-CLE again it will be lots of fun.

@alley oop

Are you sure that was intentional? From that angle, personally, I cannot say.

Local gsw announcers seemed convinced Durant is seriously injured

More specifically, since Lebron started whining to the media that he needed help.

Back-to-back 40-point triple-doubles for Westbrook. That's ludicrous.
Isaiah, you were lightning in a bottle.

It really seems that having Kanter back on the team helps him a ton getting the triple doubles and all.

Woah, Golden State adding Barnes now instead of Calderon in the wake of Durant's injury. The full extent of the injury is not yet known, but it looks like they're expecting him to miss at least some time.

ESPN sources tell @ChrisBHaynes and me that Golden State plans to sign veteran swingman Matt Barnes in the wake of the Kevin Durant injury.

Important to note that an official diagnosis on Kevin Durant is not yet known, but the Warriors clearly feel the need to add a swingman.

Very somber scene in the Warriors' locker room. Some players were texting Durant words of support.

Interesting note is that the Warriors still plan to sign Calderon as promised, but waive him afterwards.

Sounds serious.

If KD is out for the playoffs (not likely) then the lack of moves at the deadline for Boston become much much much more controversial.

If KD just tore an ACL(Ive got no reason to believe he did havent even seen the injury) then we just passed up a really really good chance to win a ring

Though I doubt the severity of the injury is that bad, this is very, very true.

That being said, I'm still glad he didn't overpay for a Butler or George, who wouldn't have guaranteed a championship by themselves anyways. However, it would make the failure to upgrade this team even slightly via an Ibaka/Noel/Tucker/Jennings/etc. type of player (all of whom could've been attained using our lesser assets while keeping our flexibility - outside of Noel, who still would've left us pretty flexible) that much more egregious.

And you never want to wish injury on a player, but oh this would be so sweet to see if it cost the Warriors a championship. That's what they get for stacking the deck for themselves so hard and becoming the villains of the NBA. And it'd be just as awesome to rub it in the faces of all those people here and all over the sports world who said once again that there was no use competing this year since Golden State already had the championship in the bag, even though the exact same stuff was said last year, too.  ;D

It doesnt matter if GSW doesnt make the finals. There's still the Cavs to worry about and after that, the Spurs, who we haven't beaten in a while even when fully healthy.
