Can you explain your point?
Because Lebron is better than Steph..

How quickly you people change shite to fit the narrative you like.
KD was added to a Warriors team that had just won 73 games and gave up a 3-1 lead in the finals to lebron James and the cavs.
Well documented that the warriors big 3 went and got KD to join up to specifically beat lebron and the cavs because they couldn’t do it without him and having the best team ever to play a regular season.
You can hate lebron and he gives plenty of reasons but quit making up shite to fit your argument

I stopped reading some of the nonsense here so forgive me if this has been posted.
The idea that the Warriors didn’t need KD? It’s well documented that after the Warriors lost to the Cavs in 2016, the first thing Draymond Green did was go to his car and call Kevin Durant and say “We need you.”

Also to add - nobody remembers how fortunate the Warriors were in the first Curry contract. He had major ankle issues early in his career and signed at a discount. This was one of the major reason they could build the team they had and ADD Kevin Durant.

That has been debunked. And maybe it is true they needed to upgrade from Harrison Barnes (altho I disagree) But there is about 15 forwards at least who are better than Barnes but less than KD who would have filled in adequately for them to be able to beat those cavs. They certainly didn’t NEED KD to get past Cleveland. They may have needed him to get past HOU in ‘18, but not to get past bronco. Going from
Barnes to Wiggins, for example, would have been plenty enough.

Boom - you always point out that Cleveland never beat a healthy Warriors team. The KD-less Warriors never beat a healthy Cavs team either.
I don’t think they needed KD to beat the Cavs but they clearly did.
Harden sucks so stop trying to bring him and the underachieving Rockets into a conversation about champions.

“Underacheving”
They had 2 hall of fame players and lost to a warriors team with 4 hall of famers one year, and 3 hall of famers the other years.
Warriors always had more top end talent and sometimes a lot more.

Father Time is undefeated and the reason the Warriors survived was because they got healthy when other teams were not.
A lot of their next few seasons will come down to whether Steph(64 games this season), Klay(32 games this season), Green(44 games this season) can hit the health lottery at the right time again and stave off Father Time. Or if the young guys Poole/Kuminga/Wiseman/Moody can start to drastically step up and shoulder the load more.
Cause next year potentially could have a PG/Kawhi Clippers, a fully healed Denver, and a number of up and coming young teams that should only get better: Dallas, Memphis, New Orleans, Minny.
I’d still put the Warriors favorites, but they are not the immovable object they once were.

Bron was 1-8 v KD WARRIORS. Series weren’t even close. Most reasonable people would say they could have downgraded from KD to a borderline all star type and still win the series considering GSW didn’t even break a sweat.

In game 5-7 Barnes went
2/14
0/8
3/10
That is 5/32 or 16%.
and they lost by 1 bucket in game 7
Wiggins and 30 other small
Forwards would have gotten the job done.

Again I didn’t say they needed KD. Draymond Green said he took less $ in 2015 with an eye on KD coming after 2016. They thought they needed him.

Saying 30 other SF would have gotten the job done is silly. Any above average SF would have but just a role player? That’s what Barnes was. Wiggins in 2017 would have been hilariously embarrassed. Wiggins today would be enough.
Posted on 6/17/22 at 9:46 am to Boomshockalocka
Wiggins now and then aren’t / weren’t the same player. Wiggins has finally come into his own and wouldn’t have had the same impact at the time.
Posted on 6/17/22 at 9:47 am to LSUTigKyl
5 for 32? not sure it is possible to be worse. He would have been probably been benched but they are so banged up that year they actually had to play varejao in the 4th qtr of game 7. The same guy the Cavs had just cut bc he wasn’t even worth their last spot on the bench. Imagine that?
But people will insist they beat the 73-9 warriors.
Varejao wasn’t playing high leverage minutes for the squad in probably ANY of those 73 Ws

This argument is only important to you. Injuries are part of the game. Who cares?
