Basically, look at them both as defending "old school" basketball, and probably the triangle.

He's not specifically wrong but isn't specifically right either.

In the end, it comes down to talent, roster construction, so the talented pieces compliment each other's skill set and provide the diverse set of useful skills across the rotation


i know exactly what he's doing. it's all about defending the triangle. correct. but golden state pre-durant did happen. there's multiple ways to win. he just wants to act like his way is the only way so he can pretend he's smarter than everyone else.


And then they needed a midrange player in Durant to win 2 more.

They didn’t need Durant. Durant needed them.

Yep. KD evidently was moved by this Draymond Green pitch: "How many championships can you win without us?" Sounds like it was pretty convincing.

Also, I'd be interested in doing an exercise. Which players can we replace choking Harrison Barnes with, and still be able to have the Warriors beat the Cavs? I'd bet the list would be pretty long. Obviously, we can start the list with KD, Kawhi, Lebron, Paul George, etc, but let's keep going.

Some guys love to ball more than others.

We need more guys like that and get rid of the Paytons and the Knoxes.

Talking about Jimmy Butler. Man, that had me rolling.
