right. for all of billy's faults, he did lead a team to a playoff win w/o hca v. the spurs in 2016 and the team nearly pulled off another major upset against the warriors. so we know, for a fact, that a team coached by billy donovan can be successful.
All I took from that is a team with Kevin Durant can be successful. The fact we haven't even really come close to making it out of the first round since, once again just underscores how he essentially was the team and without him we really don't have one.
sure. but there's no coach in the universe you could give this team to who is going to make up for that, is the point. but it's possible to "re-create" the impact of kevin durant. maybe not feasible in our position though.
