I can't believe people think this. I think you can make good case he is better than DD, but no way this team becomes contender just because you replace him with Klay. DD dominated Cavs, while Klay is averaging 13 points on 13 shots against the Cavs.

His game is just explosive and people love to see long 3s go in. He has 8 points on 8 shots. These are the type of games DD gets hate for.

The way the Warriors pass, defend, and shoot 3 pointers enables them to have long droughts and still come out the victors. It's rare to see them get absolutely blown out end to end.

Every good to great team would prefer Klay, efficient high volume three point shooting and superb defense at one of the leagues hardest position is invaluable in today's NBA.

We're talking about a player who can go off for 20 in any given quarter, the main catalyst that helped the Dubs come out the victor in a must win game 5 against OKC.

In the words of Casey, we'd be 'much closer' to a championship with Klay as our staring two guard.

Cavs have to win 4 in a row to win this series imo which is near impossible.

Does anyone really think they could win game 7 on the road?

If Cavs win this game, MVP of game will be Harrison Barnes elbow to K Loves head

You are all wrong about everything!

Thank you.
