You're aware they added the 2nd best player in the league to their already stacked team, right?


I'm aware. I also know they weren't hurting for scorers and that's precisely what they've added.

I'm not an idiot, Durant is an asset to this team, however, what made GS truly great was their depth. No more Bogut, no more Harrison, Iggy was a huge part of their success against the Cavs early in the series, and he's gimped now.

I also don't think Livingston bails them out like he did last year game one coming off the bench.

GSU on paper has the best players. But their style leaves them wide open to going cold and living/dying by the three point shot. The series will be extremely competitive, but I think a GS sweep is a drastic overreaction.

Furthermore, will people who are 100% confident that GS will sweep acknowledge LeBron's greatness if and when he wins the series? Considering they thought 4-0 was a foregone conclusion?

If it didn't happen after last year's finals then it never will.

They probably win that series without him last year

Well isn't that why they got KD? He is that guy that you can throw the ball to and just go get a bucket.

Their 3 headed rotation at Center has played really well post allstar break.

Losing Harrison is trumped by gaining KD.

As far as Iggy goes, it was said to be knee soreness, so 9 days of rest should remedy that.

Durant is also a great defensive player, not just a scorer.

You could say the exact same thing about Cleveland.

This is moreso true for CLE, fwiw.

GS is the best 2 pt shooting team in the league.
