Are the Warriors handling injuries correctly?
“If you have to,” an emotional Bob Myers said. “You can blame me.”
The world had just watched all-star forward Kevin Durant collapse - and though they perhaps weren’t ready to voice it, were indeed looking for someone to blame. A blown Achilles tendon in what would end up being just the first shoe to drop on a calamitous stomping end to the Golden State Warriors’ pursuit of their third straight title.
Klay Thompson was next. An awkward landing after taking contact on a dunk attempt. Again, a catastrophic, surgery-requiring injury. Either one of these would be in the running for biggest Finals injuries. Taken together, it wasn’t a good look.
