I'm cheering for the raptors, don't really like Durant all that much, hate the warriors, and when that happened even I went "really? That's brutal". This will get a lot of run in the states, and people will bring up that incident without bringing up the crowd chanting "KD" when he left which they should if they want to be fair to the crowd, but that incident is embarrassing. If you weren't in the crowd tonight though don't get defensive about it it wasn't you. Also the rest of Canada doesn't have a lot of time for the Toronto victim card so pulling it on a Calgary forum won't get you any sympathy. You wanna bask in the warm glow of the national us media attention you take the good with the bad especially when your fans act like dick heads.

GS decided to turn his injury into a sideshow. They attempted to use it to their advantage and got burned. Nobody wants to see anyone hurt, but if you're going to play it up, then don't take the high road when it goes sideways. He obviously should not have been playing.
