Oga, in a series where they won 2 games, missing one game and getting injured in a game 6 makes a lot of difference. Especially when you are Klay Thompson.
Whether they were up by two or not is not important, bottom line, they were hot and game 6 Klay was cooking.
Klay was present in 3 of the Warriors losses. Stop pushing the narrative that he was absent for majority of the series. He missed essentially a game and a quarter.

They were hot and Klay was cooking but they were only up 2. 2 friggin points

What you are saying makes no sense, in that you cannot make a team with a championship a dynasty when you have zero titles yourself. Why didn't he make OKÇ a dynasty? He had Westbrook and Ibaka.
No one literally whined about injuries, i only mentioned injuries because you mentioned it first in attempting to make the loss to the raptors about Durant. Who was injured when the warriors knocked out OKC after in the conference finals.
They won 2 games against the raptors without Durant and an unfit Thompson, they could have won 4 if Thompson was fit.
The warriors have already done it without him by winning one before him and going to the finals without him while he got swept. Whether they win Boston or not changes that not.
The argument would always fester but if the win Boston, it's over.
But that is not my bold claim. The Bold claim is that KD would never win another ring... Not with Kyrie at least.
What is this megedefegede you are talking about? KD came to a team with just one title, were coming off a losing finals appearance. Durant came and the team won 2 straight titles and it could have been 3 if Durant didn't get injured. Durant won Finals MVP 2x. Whether you like it or not no amount of KD bad belle will erase the fact that on the Warriors Kevin Durant was the best player. That is what Warriors fans will forever have to deal with.

I don't know why you keep dribbling back to OKC. We already established KD couldn't win there. However Warriors could not establish dominance and dynasty status till they got KD. That is the fact on ground

Stop repeating this Klay Thompson alternative facts. Klay Thompson played 5 games and only missed 1 quarter out of a possible 6 games. He was healthy and available to average almost 40 minutes per game
If they don't beat Boston then it will ultimately prove they would not be a dynasty without Kevin Durant

KD was in the league 9 years and didn't win anything. Predicting he wouldn't win a title after suffering an Achilles tear at over 30 is hardly a bold take

GSW were not complete the times we lost as well. Both Cavs and Raptors series we played with injuries. Everyone mentions injuries only when GSW is concerned.

Giannis played an injured Nets. Suns played an injured Lakers. Celtics played an injured Bucks and Miami. Like Skrrrrrrr said, KD made us practically unbeatable but we were good for 2 more rings had it been another max level player. Wiggins is proving it now and he is not 1/3 of the player KD is.
Nobody absolutely nobody has benefitted from injuries like Golden State. Who was injured in the Cavs series? Andrew Bogut? LOL. Abeg

2015
They beat the Cavs who were missing Love and Kyrie

2017
Beat the Spurs thanks to Zaza taking Kawhi out with the Spurs blowing out Golden State in Oakland

2018
Beat the Rockets thanks to Chris Paul getting hurt while the Warriors were down 3-2 after Game 5

Several games with key players injured in multiple title runs.

Again the Warriors issue was not getting to the Finals. They did that before Kevin Durant came. This is their 3rd attempt at winning a Finals without him. They have only succeeded once at this. So nothing like they are good for two rings. They absolutely need to win

Warriors beat Cavs 4-2 in 2015, OKC 4-3 in 2016, Rockets 4-3 in 2018 etc. Warriors usually don't win series 4-0 (that is the point).

Klay was present for 2 of the 3 confirmed losses and at the same time the Raptors had lost 2 games with him playing. So it was 2-2 with Klay and Steph against a raptors that had homecourt in that finals which means they were a solid team. You might say Klay left the game with GSW being 2 pts up but GSW lost that game by 4 without Klay who already had 30. That is how important he was.

Will GSW beat Cavs in 2015 without Iggy? So why will anyone laugh if we say we lost that game without him? That is the same way with Bogut playing we were 3-1 up against the Cavs in 2016. There is no special spin anyone can give to it.

That 2015-16 Rockets played GSW without Steph, 2016-17 we beat Portland without KD
2017-18 we beat Spurs first round without Curry
2018-19 we beat the Rockets/Portland without KD
2018-19 we lose to Raptors without KD and Klay

If we are going to nitpick, Cavs played all playoffs without Love and lost game 1 with Kyrie playing. Kawhi 67-15 played against OKC and got beat 4-2 in 2015-16 but somehow will beat the 73-9 warriors with KD playing. How?

If you want to say this is 3rd final without KD that is fine, but you cannot use injuries for Cavs in 2015 and then belittle the warriors injury in 2016.

Same way Raptors won 4-2. For each Warriors injury I would show you more significant ones on the other team.

The Warriors had no advantage over the Raptors. Klay being there only meant at best they won Game 6 but the game was still in the balance anyway. Klay played 32 mins in that game 6. He was present for 3 losses. Not 2

Yeah you would have missed Bogut's 3 points and 3 rebounds in that series cheesy grin grin

The Rockets were the 8th seed ffs have some shame. Vs Portland KD played 2 of the 4 games. I don't know why you're bragging about beating inferior teams.

KD-Klay and Draymond can't beat Lamarcus Aldridge, Rudy Gay and Ginobili who was like 42??

Stop this without Klay nonsense vs the Raptors. He played in 5 of a possible 6 games.

Cavs beat up inferior teams when Love was hurt but when facing a team of equal quality they were shorthanded while the Warriors were complete. Those are the facts on ground for the 15 season

What does what happened the previous season have to do with the beatdown San Antonio were serving in the Oracle? The Warriors were down by 27 before Zaza took Kawhi out. You want to use the Raptors with Klay missing 1 quarter as an excuse but I can't use Kawhi missing the series?

Rockets were up 3-2 and lost their second or arguably their best player. Can't talk about Klay when CP3 lost 2 full games

No team has caught more breaks than the Warriors against evenly matched competition

His guys are pulling him along so far. If White and AL keep this up the Celtics might just steal one without Tatum even shooting well. Tatum played well on defense and as a playmaker though

We got the split in the worst case scenario. Excellent adjustment by Ime in the 2nd and 4th. I thought we always stood a chance despite going down double digits because other than Curry, no one else was consistently giving us problems.

Nothing to see here, it’s only game 1.. On to game 2

One thing about the Celtics through out this playoffs is that they have more guys who can on a day just go for 20+pts. 2 of the Bucks loss came from AL scoring 30 in one game, and Grant scoring 25 in another. If they continue that trend in this finals series, they can go all the way.
