It's on the Zach Lowe postgame mini pod. All saying that Kerr playing KD 12 of the first 14 minutes is a huge reason why he got hurt. Solid point IMO.

If this was a known Achilles injury, many people should be fired.

He got hurt because he was never fully healed. GSW wouldn't say it, but that first injury was a torn calf which at the least would have been a 6 week recovery time period. KD should have never been playing I'm the first place. But since he was playing, he should have just been operating as a decoy and basically a glorified spot up shooter.

Where Kerr deserves a ton of blame is having KD become a playmaker and try to run the offense. You can not call plays for him to bring the ball up the court. Kerr should have done a better job of putting him in positions where it would mitigate the stress on the right leg

Of course the coach plays a major role. KD very likely got hurt bc he was playing 45 minute a night vs Houston. Kevin’s body had likely never been through that. it was a measured risk to play him that many minutes. One they had to take Bc of the opponent. the best team they have played since Kerr has been there, according to Kerr himself.

It isn't Steve Kerr's job to protect an injured player. There are others employed specifically for that reason. Blame them.

It really isn't. It looks like he ruptured the achilles. That isn't a buildup and overuse injury.

His achilles wasn't strong enough to take the calf firing. Fewer minutes weren't going to make his achilles stronger.

KD tried to do too much.

No reason a guy with a leg injury should be trying to one and one dribble drive someone.

KD got overconfident in his health and snap.

30yr old grown man/best player in the game comes to you as a coach in the NbA finals and says I’m a full go, start me. Doctors have cleared him. What do you expect him to do. Also anyone who has ever played with a foot/ankle/lower leg injury knows the more you sit the more it tightens up and the harder it is to keep playing. Kevin Durant is a 100 millionaire with NbA titles. It sucks he got hurt but let’s noy pretend this is the greatest tragedy of our times. I’m a thousandaire who ruptured an Achilles in a men’s league regular season game and had to go to work on a knee scooter. Nobody gave a shite and I didn’t cry about it. Sometimes ppl just get hurt, we don’t need a villain every time something bad happens to someone. If you want to blame anything blame Kevin Durant’s Achilles’ tendon.

No, but his rotations and minutes with Boogie and Bell were suspect

The Warriors treated KD like shite while he was injured. Despicable.

Chuck Barkley roasted the Warriors as well. Let em burn.
