    If Durant left right now the warriors would not win 70 games. Before he joined they were deep. They aren't deep anymore.

    They aren't winning without Durant. That's why they signed him. I already posted a thread on this. Kerr made it clear that Durant put them over the top. 57-25 without him.

    Would be tougher without Durant - they won in 2015 and the following year had lebron down 3-1 all without Durant - even without Durant they would be right there - they basically replace Harrison Barnes for Kevin Durant - had Barnes hit any wide open shots in 2016- were talking about a 4 peat

    Many people didn’t know Barnes decline a early contract extension in 2016 ? Had he sign it ? Durant isn’t here

    Also remember that without the $ they have tied up with Durant's contract- it would give them flexibility to have that same depth. They are the best regular season team of all time + 1 chip without him So comparing that to any heat or Cavs roster is poppycock

    LEFRUAD built the Cavs roster ? Demanded Wiggins get traded for love? Told management to give TT and J.R good size contracts? Chase Kyrie out of town

    That's actually true. I think it's humorous how losers make excuses with casts or blaming teammates

    At the end of the day the annals of history doesn't include excuses for losers. Either win or lose, the rest is bullsht

    Jordan didn't make excuses or wrap his hand in a cast when they lost to Reggie in 6. He shut his mouth and went to work. Fukking 72 games and the titles next yr and 2 more after. That was a man not a lebitch

    Eddy, MJ was coming back after hiatus. Historians normally give that Bulls team a pass.

    Someone still needs to un-wrap the mysterious MJ 1st retirement to pursue baseball. Doesn't pass smell-test at all. I'm 90% certain there was a league-mandated year-long suspension, probably due to gambling.

    Commissioner told him to go away for a year. Wanted to avoid embarrassment of a scandal, so it was under-table deal.

    jordan could see into the future? damn... he's even better than we thought and he knew how bad the pistons and company would beat him up on the court and he still had the motivation to work on his game and grow stronger physically and mentally to get past them and withstand the punishment dished out on the court to him and his bulls

    pussy players from this current era could learn a lesson or two or 20 from dissecting MJ career

    football isn't physical anymore either

    the nba wanted to make it easier to score buckets for even the dumbest of drafted players on the planet, enter... JR Smith

    this makes the game more easily understood by the more common fan, more fun to watch.... more "entertainment" with all those easy dunks and layups and long 3's from swiss cheese defense

    if you like it, good for you

    it's a complete garbage product now... guy's literally get out of the way so Westbrook on OKC can grab a bunch of defensive rebs that he had no business getting credit for (visualize Adams seeing him in his sight and backing off, putting up his arms to let WB grab the reb and pad his stats)

    fake ass triple doubles that weren't legitimately earned imo

    iso ball for 20 secs on half the possessions with 1 guy dancing while the other 4 spread out and just stand around picking their nose

    it's garbage

    Been trying too tell people Durant is a humble fella - that’s why he fits in with GSW CULTURE- LEFRUAD is a bitch that throws teammates under the bus constantly- he even left his close friend d-Wade in Miami for dead

    randomly met him at a strip club in phoenix and then went to the talking stick casino with him and a few of his teammates. Cole aldrich was a good guy also. He got asked to leave the casino for packing a fat lip of skoal i had provided him. Shocked they kicked an nba guy out for a lil dirt in his gums. The only game durant would play was war. He didn't seem like the sharpest tool in the shed but I said fack it and sat down with him and Thabo Sefolosha at the high stakes table just for the story and to continue this weird night. They had played the Lakers earlier that night (lakers stunk at time) and they choked a big halftime lead and got smoked in the 2nd half. Westbrook who is from LA played horribly and pretty much lost the game for the team going like 5-24 from the field. The team immediately hopped on a plane to phoenix after as they had a game coming up there and a bunch of them went out to blow off some steam. When Russ came into the casino and joined the group he was painful to be around. I got more who the fack is this white boy comments than i could keep up with.

    The minimum bet was 100 and the max was 10k. I was pretty much betting the minimum and cleaning up while the other guys were slightly down or even betting the max (KD anyway). Kevin was keeping his composure but russ and thabo and some of the other guys watching were really laying into the white boy that kept taking his card. On the last hand of the night he got permission to raise the max bet to 25000 and i was slightly relieved we were done with this mindless game that i kept getting bashed for winning. On the final hand dealer throws me a queen and then kevin got a 4 and the entire area groaned and started bitch ing that i took his card again wah wah. The dealer then proceeded to also get a 4 so kevin had to double the bet and go heads up with the dealer 3 cards down and boom he won and the crowd went crazy. Cool finish. i was off the hot seat and getting high fives.

    Event though I can't stand Durant... the real story of the NBA Playoffs was Toronto losing to Cleveland 4 straight. This is absolutely ridiculous. The only team that could of beat G.S from the East was Toronto. How the fuk does Cleveland win 4 straight against Toronto... and lose 4 straight to G.S.? Doesn't make any sense.

    The warriors are already in the head of the LeBron and James. LeBron always have this believe they cant beat the warriors as a result of the past beating he got from them. Simple.
    He is scared of KD.
