Warriors in 7!

Eruditor:
Rubbish.

KD is a GSW player. There is nothing like we need him more than he needs us. I don't remember him winning without us but there is sufficient evidence that we have won without him. I don't take hot-take and kneejerk analysts seriously. If he was not here we would have had a better bench not G league level players who are missing open shots...consistently.


That being said, Warriors in 7!

Just to piss off a currysexual

donlittle25:
With KD, Max is 5 games tho. KD changes everything. Although, I want the raptors to win, nothing spectacular about what they are doing at all.

If KD started the series I struggle to see the Raptors winning more than 2 games. That whole Kawhi is the best two-way player flies out the window with KD on the court. With him out now Kawhi can eat on both ends of the floor

Without KD the Warriors are done. With him they at least have a puncher's chance

yomi96:
so kd is now the problem? After taking pay cut just to play for you guys?You ought to be ashamed of your self.

steady986:
Lol, it's so easy for you to say this because KD is out. At least you people have something to leverage on when the trolling starts pouring in proper

And this also means that all your titles weren't well deserved, because you people wouldn't have won if it wasn't for those injuries to opposing players

Khanben:
If Raptors win this finals it will IMO add more fuel to the belief that kawhi's camp has that he doesn't need another superstar.

A40:
Unlike that Fulani nomadic herdsman now playing for the Lakers

steady986:
It sounds funny coming from a guy who supports a team that has 3 and a half superstars, and whose team also can't win with 2 and a half superstars against a team with 1 superstar.

A40:
Oga make we hear word. If Kawhi wins it would be on record that he did it with Kyle Lowry/Pascal Siakam as his second player and without needing to assemble the Avengers unlike your Fulani nomadic herdsman. Never mind beating Philadelphia (Embiid,Butler,Simmons,Harris) Milwaukee (Giannis, Middleton) on the way

this thread always makes me laugh bron fans vs warrior fans. from what I've seen kawhi has really enjoyed help from his teammates.

Nobody who loves Curry is pissed. I would give Curry 3 more rings if the price is 0 FMVPs and he would accept it with both hands and a leg.

FYI Curry averaged 26 and 6 in the finals. Guess the only player from a winning team with that type of stat that did not win FMVP? Yup.

Some others averaged 16 and less than even 5 assists and won it.

Iggy missed how many FTs in the final moments of games 4-6?

Curry only had one bad game 3 and that was it.

KarnThornheart:
Kyle Lowry, Siakam, Marc Gasol, Ibaka, Van Vleet, KD injured, Klay injured, no bench (Kd money would've been bench money). Wow, what an underdog. I wish lebron was ever this kind of underdog against the warriors. Why are you lot obsessed with lebron? you literally have 5 all stars on your team and you are talking about assembling avengers?

KarnThornheart:
You mean unlike every other superstar that has ever won bar dirk nowitzki?

A40:
Siakam, Gasol, Ibaka, Van Vleet are all good players. At this stage of their careers they are not all-stars though. Even Kyle Lowry is barely at all-star level if we are being honest

Klay missed one game bruh. I can also argue Kawhi is not 100% so let's bin that argument.

Based on this season the Raptors have just two all-stars and some will even tell you Kyle Lowry is not an all-star.

Looney, Cook, Jerebko, Mckinnie are decent players. And drop that bench argument quickly! How can a team with KD, Boogie, Steph, Klay and Green be complaining about lack of bench. Wetin make other teams talk?

The Raptors are essentially playing with a 7 man rotation as Powell and McCaw are borderline unplayable and you're talking about depth.

A40:
That's immaterial what counts is Kawhi didn't get to Toronto and tried to trade half his roster for All-NBA level talents.

KarnThornheart:
Because toronto is a good team and has a winning record without him?

KarnThornheart:
One game which the warriors lost and curry actually showed up. Why should we drop that argument?

KarnThornheart:
And the other good players you just mentioned?

KarnThornheart:
KD hasnt played in this series. What i'm saying is without KD at all the warriors would have done better to account for his absence since his money would be used to make up for the bench. So this isnt the same team as the 2016 or 2015 warriors just because KD isnt playing.

A40:
In the playoffs? This is the same narrative people were peddling about the Warriors being better without KD. They are now 1-6 in their last 7 NBA Finals games

A40:
This is moot. He could show up and Klay doesn't. The Warriors still would have lost. What we do know is Klay has played 3 games and the Warriors are 1-2

I don't recall anyone suggesting they were bums

They would have probably had to overpay Harrison Barnes or add bench guys that may or may not have delivered unless their names are Lou Williams. Across the league you would struggle to find any team that has gotten value for money like Golden State

KarnThornheart:
One of their core players still didnt play. 1-2 is still better than 1-3.

KarnThornheart:
So why would he want to trade them?

KarnThornheart:
I'm sure curry would've killed to have harrison barnes in game 3.
