You might be correct, without Durant, while Klay is good and Green is a swiss army knife, Klay can and has been contained, and the Warriors would have no other player who is seen as a good enough individual scoring threat to relieve them. Their consistency worked through the regular season, but the no Durant Warriors did need another player who could play in the system but also create offense at a high level. Of course it would have been nice if it wasn't a Durant level player though.bmurph128 wrote:og15 wrote:Guest202 wrote:

Not many other options that made sense for them last off-season, so it would likely have been Harrison Barnes returning
In which case this series ends in 5 games max.
I guess I'm saying that because I think people definitely shouldn't be mad at the Warriors for getting him - they needed him.
Cavs just need an athletic wing that can guard KD aside from LeBron and we will take them out

No impact on his defense.
Curry back cut for a wide open layup, Kyrie trailing way behind.

GS has the most firepower I've ever seen. Durant will get all the credit but this is truly a GOAT Team. Cleveland has played a heck of a game and still down double digits.

Dont let this Finals distract you from the fact that the Warriors blew a 3-1 lead last year.

To the neutral fan, this is as exciting as the Penguins winning the Stanley Cup.
