Jesus Christ just stop. The Warriors' best team was pre-Durant.

Are you insane? They didn’t get better by adding the 2nd best player in the league?

Record-wise, sure, but I think the 2017 team was better when we consider the talent that comprised that starting unit and how they absolutely STAMPEDED through the playoffs/Finals: fo' fo' fo' fi' just a legendary, all-time performance can't top it they were on a mission that whole season

That Cavs team caught some lucky breaks and also made some huge “chess moves” that imo, broke the Dubs OG Death Lineup.

Lucky breaks:
1.Bogut going down
2. Steph not being 100%

Chess moves:
1. Neutering Harrison Barnes
2. Baiting Draymond

Also getting their Big 3 to play great basketball, solid role player/bench contributions from RJ,JR,etc. in that playoff run.

Barnes is the big thing though. He’s not even the alpha on a rebuilding Dallas team. He really was supposed to be a big part of that team going forward, as someone who could really develop into a All Star level player.

He’s not that guy, I think the series broke him and the Dubs wouldn’t have been the same team with him back the next year. shite, that Spurs team without the Kawhi injury really could have beat a Barnes Dubs team. They were really good.

As Barkley said “the warriors are a dynasty because of KD” I agree with him. They don’t win the last two titles without KD/Barnes there instead.
