. No need. Let him figure it out himself.

A40:
Me Bronsexual?

Who is going to tell him?

benji93:
We troll him for joining and when he leaves, we troll him again. Things you see in sports.

Troll him because Draymond said Steph got doubled 7 times more than KD? Is that what KD should be responding to? He is the one who made his rings small and with each reply, they get smaller.

Nobody is buying the warriors needed him and begged him story which helped his ego at the time. Steph and Draymond could have come out to deny it (because it was not true) but they let it fester because that is what good teammates do. Draymond has even subtly corrected Ernie on TNT by saying nobody called KD in any parking lot nor did anybody cry to him. If Draymond was trying to be as petty as KD, he would have done so from the beginning but he knew KD needed the narrative to justify his moving to the Bay area.

Sure, the warriors 4 flew with Bob to pitch KD. Big freaking deal, that is called great lobbying. The Celtics, San Antonio Spurs and Wizards pulled big shows to convince KD to move to their respective teams. Warriors had space for a max level player were they not going to do so?

Let us say KD opted for Boston instead. What difference would it have made? Warriors would still be able to get a max level talent and even better, we would still have been able to keep the bench - which is what we lost by getting KD.

No doubt his time with us was a huge success and we thank him for that but with Steph, Klay and Draymond as the core winning before KD and getting to a final after KD (so far), good luck arguing that adding a max level player to that team would not have touched 2 more rings at the very least.

Bottomline the Warriors begged Kevin Durant to come to Golden State. Draymond is the last one that should be taking any shots at KD. He's a bus rider that has never carried a team for any stretch of time in his NBA career

There were other free agents available. If the bench was so good then why not keep the bench and forget KD. The Warriors did not need to go for him at all and yet they did. Because they wanted a surefire ring. Can't shade KD for getting an easy ring like he wasn't recruited and courted. The Warriors sought after him. Facts

Anyway we already saw what happened to Golden State when KD went down against Toronto. Now they are condemned to beat Boston else no amount of salaye will explain away the fact that it took a Kevin Durant to cement the Warriors as a dynasty.

The warriors lobbied KD to come. We did same for Giannis before he signed his extension. A serious team wanting to win will do exactly that. There is lobbying, and there is crying in the parking lot and all that jazz which is fake news. GSW courted KD 100% we accept.

Also, Draymond did not throw shade at KD. Even KD admitted to Draymond that he knew it was not a shade even though he disagreed with his opinion. Of course, Draymond was right, the NBA curated data backs him. if anything, the data says Steph was doubled 20 times more not even 7. These are not things KD should be responding to. Warriors fans treat his rings as legit, it is Lebron fans who want to belittle it and he keeps falling for it.

Finally, we did not see what happened to the Warriors when KD went down. We saw what happened to the Warriors without Klay (missed game 3 and part of game 6 with the Warriors up) together with KD being out to a Raptors team that had home court in the NBA finals.

So KD was correct, it was false. It wasn't 7.

So wait, if GSW beats the Celtics you will concede to the argument that, GSW didn't need KD after all, at least for now?

Mass shooting in Oklahoma. Steve Kerr had better prepare a written speech about gun rights. No one demanded he spoke about the massacre in Uvalde, this one is in his backyard. The media will come for a prepared speech.

What is this snarky comment I don't understand. He shouldn't have spoken? Is it till someone shoots at an NBA game before you guys wake up?

Of course. If they beat Boston there is no argument to be had. Failure to beat Toronto however showed that the team was vulnerable without KD

Now if they fail to win even with his replacement and a younger arguably deeper team then we have to ask questions

lets ignore that Klay was injured and curry finished the toronto series with a hobbled Iguodala, alphonso mckinee and jordan bell as starters

KD was very factual. Haha

He should prepare a text because the media are going to poke him on this issue. My comment is not snarky.

Wait so it's now a crime for a public figure to use his platform to call for action against a societal ill?

The warriors could have gotten another player and became champions.
So whether they begged KD or Not, KD could have declined, the fact that he accepted and hid it from Westbrook points to the fact that he knew he had as much chance getting a ring as I do joining the KKK. After all, he blew a 3-1 win against the warriors the season prior.
That series against Toronto ended when Klay got injured, they could have won that game and gone on to game 7 had Klay not blown his ACL. They finished off the Rockets without KD.
The warriors were good but not unstoppable without KD. But KD was basically useless without the warriors...
KD fans and KD himself should just shut up, this is the wrongest time to defend his legacy, the warriors are in the Finals with a hobbled up klay and he is playing Poker in Vegas after getting swept in the first round.
And even if the warriors lose to Boston, the fact that they got to the finals their first healthy season post Durant, is a clear message.

etidy:

No mind A40, he wants to put the loss down to KD. Ignoring the fact that Klay was in and out of games and was hot in Game6 before that injury effectively ended the series. They were even in the lead before that injury.

That is why KD got agitated and started getting in his feelings again. Because the dominant narrative in the media is that he was not needed by the warriors. So he thought that is what people were going to take away from the Draymond podcast which is why he responded to a snippet. lol

He thought Draymond was saying he did not deserve the FMVP and that is not what Draymond said. Draymond simply was showing that teams focused on blitzing Curry much more than they did KD which is a testament to his greatness as well as Curry's. That's all.

Then that emotional snake started typing nonsense.

This would have been arguable were they not facts. Curry got doubles 20x more than Durant.
Durant didn't do anything remarkably different, his job was just wayyyy easier because another dude was distracting the entire defense. He could have been 4x finals MVP if he had stayed put. His playing style didn't work with Westbrook because that one was focused on securing his own points.
Any high volume scorer would have won FMVP with curry because playing with curry just makes it easier to score. Put Anthony Davis in that warriors team and he'd be finals MVP too.
Abi no be highest scorer on the winning Team be finals MVP?

Whatever happened he has the right to speak or not. He's not a sitting senator he's doing what he can by using his voice. Seeing 17 kids in Elementary school getting killed is enough to evoke an emotional response out of anyone

Taaa! He played 5 games from a possible 6

One would think Golden State have never benefitted from injured players before

He got hurt at the end of the 3rd. Don't pretend like he missed the entire series or something ridiculous like that. He only missed Game 3

Skrrrrrrr:


No mind A40, he wants to put the loss down to KD. Ignoring the fact that Klay was in and out of games and was hot in Game6 before that injury effectively ended the series. They were even in the lead before that injury.

In and out of what? You have started with fake news. Klay missed 1 game which was Game 3.

He played every other game in the series. And even the Game 6 before he hot hurt they were only up by 2 the second quarter. You would think it was a blowout

Why did you need to get another player? Why didn't you stick with Harrison Barnes. There were other free agents around why una no go for them. Why KD? You also wanted easy rings as much as KD did.

They flew all the way from Oakland to the Hampton's to beg him to come. That's a 5 hour flight my guy. Why will KD decline when a suitor who is willing to pay his fees shows so effort. Will you decline such a serious employer if you're Kevin Durant? Abeg die that argument

Westbrook? What the hell does this have to do with Westbrook? Their two follow come league?

The Warriors lost 2 games Klay played. You cannot definitively prove they wouldn't have lost again even if Klay didn't get hurt. They were only up by 2 but Warriors fans like to pretend like they had won the game.

Whatever KD said is immaterial. Golden State Warriors fans are the last people that should be whining about injuries. No dynasty in the history of basketball has benefited more from injuries than Golden State. Every title they won somebody crucial on the opposing side has always suffered significant injuries that made them miss multiple games.

KD has never gone out of his way to overinflate his importance. He knows he needed Golden State to win. I doubt he is dumb enough to believe otherwise. It is Warriors fans however who believe they could have done it without him. Which is technically correct but this series we are going to find out

If they fail to beat Boston then don't come and tell me they're not a franchise that owes it's dynasty status to Kevin Durant because they would have yet to beat a complete team in 3 attempts without Kevin

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.

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.

It was not even in the 2nd Quarter he got hurt. It was in the last 3 mins of the 3rd quarter in a home game where GSW ended up losing by 4. Remember we had not won any home games in that series. Our 2 wins where on their home court. Nobody can successfully argue we don't push it to a game 7 with Klay playing (without KD). I have laid the facts out bare.

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.
