Don’t worry, there is zero chance of them losing.

Not impressed with them beating the injured an mediocre Blazers, especially considering they could have easily lost games 2 and 3. Another elephant in the room is that the Warriors bench has been uncharacteristically good since Durant went down, which I don't think is likely to continue.
KD had to beat LeBron twice just to get in the conversation of being better then him.
Giannis automatically becomes better then KD and Curry by just getting to the finals once.
Something doesent add up here.
KD didn't beat LeBron, the Warriors did. Durant went over three years without beating LeBron James in a head-to-head matchup, a streak that included Christmas Day when the Cavaliers topped Golden State and the newly acquired Durant. At that point, Durant was 4-18 in his career against LeBron James. Oh, and Durant's team was favored in many instances...and just lost.
As of 2016, there was only one franchise (Boston) that James averaged more points against than Durant's Oklahoma City, and Durant received most of that punishment. In the two players’ 17 regular season games, James averaged 29.4 points on 52 percent shooting from the floor and 38 percent from behind the three-point line, while putting up seven rebounds, seven assists, and 2.2 steals per game.
Durant went to GS so that he could finally win against LeBron James. That's why he's never been in any conversation period.
Giannis, on the other hand, is a young buck (pun intended) on an amazing run, currently leading a team and determined to prove himself. I'll believe he's beatable if his team loses four times against somebody this postseason. Until then, yeah, he's in the conversation of being the best player now.

The crown passed straight from Lebron to Giannis this season. It never touched the Tapeworm's head, IMO.

Kawhi is great, but Giannis is 3 years younger and better in basically every statistical category except shooting, while still having lots of room to develop.

That would be so delicious.
That would be a salt avalanche.

Golden State goes up 3-0.
KD returns and Milwaukee tie the series 3-3.
Milwaukee leads by 30 points at halftime of game 7. KD tears his ACL. Curry scores 50 in the 2nd half and GS wins.
Yes.
