Warriors should keep Durant the punk on the bench for finals too

They'll need Durant against Giannis if that's the matchup, and they're paying him over 20 million this year, your post makes no sense.

I believe they can easily beat either mil or tor without him, like I said they are def better with him...but still good enough (clearly) without him to win it all. If they know he’s going to NY they should just keep the punk parked on the bench

They will, but because his injury is more serious than we're being lead to believe.

It be iike our jobs paying us to stay home, not real likely! They paid for the dude of course they gonna use him if he can go. If I was them I wouldn’t even care if he was healthy I’d run everything I could out of him while I could!!!

Definitely. They’re probably just waiting for the finals to get their last go with him. No need to waste him against the lowly Blazers. Still some time until the finals. 10 days. They’re preparing for the Bucks.

Cuse0323 · 05-20-19, 04:15 AM

I know if I go complain about my back and sore ankle tomorrow that my boss is gonna say see ya later. Buck up and play or get out. Enjoy your new job. Durant gets some leeway being the best out there. They’ll get what they need out of him though. Which is beating Giannis.

The team enjoys playing more w/o Durant. When he runs that ISO bullshit from top of key...you can see that the rest of team is really telling him to Go Fk Off.

yes

Losing Durant actually hurts their defense more than offense.

jjgold · 05-20-19, 03:46 PM

Bucks will be hard to beat without Durant

Toronto easier

Yup, I agree.

ChuckyTheGoat · 05-20-19, 10:42 PM

OK, it's clear now. Klay/Curry/Green much prefer playing w/o Durant. You can see it in their eyes.

If you can't see that, you're not looking. Durant an outsider.

Thats very true. The chemistry is better with seeing guys like McKinnie and Looney hustle, and the ball move on offense, rather than KD iso. I'm pretty sure the Warriors would have beaten Lebron without KD. They never needed him

The Kraken · 05-20-19, 11:04 PM

Yep, GS moves the ball much better without KD.

Plus chemistry way better.

With that said, they will need him against the Bucks

Just have him come off the bench with the second team. Let dray, steph, klay and Andre do their thing, and then KD can dominate the second team and go 1-on-1 all day long

"I can't get this out of my brain: Kevin Durant never returns, the Warriors win the title without him and he's at that parade waving and everyone's like, 'Yeah Bye.' It's going to be the most awkward parade of all-time." — @ColinCowherd

I know he is out 1st 2 games

If warriors up 2-0 just sit him

Seattle Slew · 05-25-19, 10:24 AM

Whoever signs Durant and Kyrie deserve what they get, which will be 2 injured players lucky to play 60 games a season, especially Durant.

jjgold · 05-25-19, 10:25 AM

Excellent point

I'm also of the opinion that Durant/Kyrie are over-rated on Net +/-. Durant mostly b/c he ISOs the ball too much. Sure, he's an almost unstoppable Offensive force. But his ISOs kill the ball-flow. If u gave the current Warrior players truth-serum...they'd say that they much prefer to play w/o Durant.

The Bucks exposed Kyrie. Note how flabbergasted he was at post-game press conference. He was saying that maybe he should have taken THIRTY shots. That's not the sign of an efficient offensive player. Good riddance to anyone who gets him.

With each & every interview you can hear that Durant is getting more offended by the idea the Warriors are as good or better without him.

It was already a possibility he would leave Golden State after this season and I think all of this seals the deal and he's gone.

The stat is now 31-1 Warriors s/u, when Durant Out + Curry plays. I truly believe that Durant is an Elite talent...but a Mental Midget.

In the modern game, I think Curry + Klay understand the game + the importance of the 3-pt shot. DGreen is perfect junk-yard dog.

Hope it’s a sweep and he sits

nba still waiting who the finalist in east to bench KD or not!

pavyracer · 05-25-19, 08:07 PM

He has a 10 ft wingspan. He can punch you from a different zip code than were you live.

Perfect analogy. KD wants OUT that bad.
