also - what do you think draymond would say? "yeah, we are better without him." Uh, no.

smokymountainrain

Of course we are. Why wouldn’t we? What’s changed?

Josef K

5/21/19 8:16am

because three years is a long time. their health is different, their role

smokymountainrain

Exactly. They were better back then. And they still got shut down

Josef K

I believe the Warriors are better without KD and Curry is league's MVP

The Warriors vs Cavs NBA Finals over the past four years, games that matter most

Dakota Cougar

5/21/19 8:22am

how can you say that? they haven't played without Durant in those games.

smokymountainrain

5/21/19 8:27am

Durant didn't join the team until 2017? They played without him in 2015-2016.

Dakota Cougar

5/21/19 8:33am

7-6 and 8-1. 2-0 and 1-1.
