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

ROFL. Without Durant MIL is better than GS. Heck it is possible with Dursnt MIL could be better too. The Vegas odds would have GS as only a very tiny favorite

Would be hilarious if the Bucks/Raptors are 3-2 against GSW and Durant returns for game 6 just to shoot them out of the game, because he wants to prove he is needed and the man.

Something about this reminds me of the 95 Rockets. Folks thought the Magic would beat them and everyone quickly learned just how wrong they were.

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.

Massive understatement.

The Warriors is one of the most likable and most entertaining team to watch without KD. Their movement, both ball and players, their chemistry, just better.

Is it only me who would find it hilarious if GSW is leading 3:1 before KD rushes back in game 5 just so he could be part of Finals and they loss 3 straight games after his return?

I bet Curry is freaked out having a nervous breakdown somewhere “ man if Kd doesn’t come back by the finals , how am I gonna hide my inability to play vs a real team like the Bucks, the real NBA fans are going to see what I’m really made of , please come back Kd for the finals so either you carry us to another title by wining the finals mvp or I have excuse again by I’m deferring to you this is why I played horribly in the finals”

People calling Bucks sweep over Warriors when we don't even know if they can get by Raptors.

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.

At this point, the justice would be gs going down 0-3, kd coming back, and making them the first team to ever come back from down 0-3.

You all would be suicidal. It would be glorious. :)

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.


Damn, dude. You couldn’t just give him a sprained ankle? Sheesh :lol:

I haven’t rooted for them since their 15 championship run. But once KD went down, I was back on board.

I will be happy with anyone of the 3 that win the chip, but there will be a little extra joy for me if GSW wins it b/c a lot of of my friends are prisoners of the moment and forgot how good GSW was before KD came.
