he wasn't very good against denver either

Denver put good defenders on him that were longer and taller, that's why. Denver with Gary Harris and Torrey Craig guarding Steph would probably have been a better matchup than Portland. I thought the Warriors were lucky they didn't play Denver with KD out.

Don’t care what others think but for me I still consider KD ringless.

Klay's not falling for Dame trying to draw contact on the three point shots. He's probably thinking like, I just played the Rockets for 6 games before this. I know what you're trying to do.

I wish that the Knicks could build their own championship team without the help of KD.

Portland played soft. They played like they were scared to lose, instead of trying to win.
