    Do the warriors need Durant?

    Playing much better without the loser. Curry gained some swag

    If they want to win in the finals, yes.

    it depends... with durant out then you get max potential from steph and klay. but we'll find out when they meet the rockets or spurs, whichever comes first

    This way they can survive if the NBA decides they want to suspend a player to help lebron

    They need Harrison Barnes -better/ tougher defender.

    Warriors exhibiting the character of true team basketball.
    Steph has his swagger back definitely, but Klay has really stepped up.
    Back to back road wins over the Spurs and Rockets and 9 straight W's.
    Bring KD back into the fold and things will only improve.
    This is team chemistry, my friend.









    *Klay Curry for MVP.

    LB, I said this before. By signing him, they kept him away from the competition. HUGE, right??

    They lost some bench for sure. Not having to face him in a playoff series was worth signing him.

    I hope they lose somewhere along the way, but after last year, think they roll.

    They won the title in 2015 without him so no, they don't need him.

    It's a shame. West playoffs will be dull as dishwater this year. Grizzlies/ Spurs/ Clippers have all had pretty much the same roster for 5+ years. Rockets another known entity. Thunder-Warriors would have been something to look forward to.

    Having said that, Durant's imminent return could fcuk them up.

    Funny thing is they got him to face the cavs and the cavs might not even get to the finals.

    They won the Finals and then won 73 without him.

    So the answer is no.

    With that said, the year they won every team they played in the playoffs had massive injuries.

    Curry is scared of Lebron and so is KD.

    I hate KD.

    No. But KD is the premier scorer and owns the team. Its his team now not currys.

    No , see 2 years ago and see last year minus a LeBron block , Irvin dagger.
    KD is great but shit for defense
