Kevin Durant, officially listed as questionable for tonight.

Past simple

He did practise yesterday with some of the younger Warriors players.

Present continuous

How do you think Cady's feeling right now?

I think it's interesting spending time with him last night.

Look, as a former athlete, you feel there's a density and air about Game five that can easily translate into being somewhat anxious.

But I think for him watching this cat for a long time now, he's incredibly poised about the way he's going about this whole thing.

Look, I will be shocked that Katie don't play tonight.

Um, he said he was in his bag and practice the other day, said it felt good.

I think the energy tonight could be built for a legendary moment.

We saw Siris in which the Mo Mentum switched.

I'm not saying that's gonna happen tonight, but with these guys back in the court, if they find that groove, there's a chance for that to potentially happen in the interest of full disclosure.

That's why we're asking you were leaning on you.

Obviously you're going to devote whatever you want to, as is your right.

I will tell you what I feel OK about K d.

I think he's an absolute superstar, and I think that if there's any way that he could be out on the court healthy enough to play, I'm not concerned.

I don't care about the fact that he's been out since.

Outside of his health, My only concern is itself.

The folks that are out there talk about Well, if he's back.

What can you reasonably expect from Kevin Durant if Kevin Durant is healthy enoughto pop talk about the play without pay?

Oh, I could expect a lot that's you know where you are.

But keep that right there cause it's Cady comes back and co wise guarding him one on one and get some and then get some on the other end.

I want full credit for Kawai, the best player in the world theme.

So I have to give the business before people acknowledge it will save that for later?

Let me tell you, I don't know Katie like that.

I say hello to him a couple times after game.

Uh, he's obviously one of the best players, not only in the world today, but ever, you know, a practically perfect player.

So I'm not going to talk about how he is feeling as Jay can.

I'm gonna talk about how I hope he's feeling.

This is what the calculation I hope K D is making.

I hope he understands because he's got rabbit ears.

He listen to what people say burner accounts and stuff, and I think, by the way we're watching them now, it's really we're watching the maturation of of a young kid into a man, you know, throughout his career, got leaders a teenager, and we're seeing how he's getting more comfortable in his own skin as time goes on and when he says You know who I am?

You know Danny started playing better, right?

Everyone's got opinions, some, some of them are going to be negative about me, no matter what I decide to do.

Therefore, I hope KD isn't trying to please anyone but himself and at that point, what you hope is it's important to him to be a good teammate, to be a leader to win championships.

And therefore, if he feels he's ready to go, he will.

That's that's what I hope it's been not though.

I think for him nobody expected him to come back in this camp until game for Game five.

So all this speculation about you know it's really there for his teammates.

I'm like I'm sitting there saying Well, that's the prognosis.

He wasn't cleared until Sunday but I think I'm starting to get with you in the quatrain.

I said before I thought he was the second best player in the country in the world.

I will say this that do being hobbled up.

The narrative has changed so quickly on so many ends a couple of years ago is that he doesn't want to play for his team.

Now he's playing for his team and he's proven he's one of most dominant players is the same thing for Katie.

We've had the conversation we can have two weeks ago about em being the best player on the planet and don't sit next conversation next day.

Whoever suggested that any team that ever was is better without K D.

That's an idiotic statement to make in any basketball team ever.

It was a real narrative, though, so watch him deal with that and then the combined out to bring that back here.

Tonight's gonna be a show I look forward to seeing drink on the court side.

I look forward to see Stephen a drink, talking draft for the trash talking everything.

I like I said before I think I would be shocked that he does not step foot.

Well, I did the n b a special Before Game three, owner Joe Lakers came on the show and told and told me in front of a national television audience.

So they weren't expected in for Game three.

They were anticipating that he would be ready for Game four.

He didn't get clear until to practice until yesterday.

Obviously, the anticipation is that he's gonna be here for Game five, and so we shall see.

My whole point is this when I look at Klay Thompson in a way that he's been playing in the three games that he's played.

Matthew 59% 3 point range, 24 59% from three point range, 55% for the field.

Curries averaging 30 to get his numbers are not great.

For most people, that would be good enough.
