These playoffs have sucked, but they MIGHT be setting up an incredible finals.

So what I'm saying is, LeBron is going to get hurt in the 3rd quarter of Game 1, the Warriors will roll, and we'll all feel blueballed.

do you think the cavs have the length to challenge durant? i think they can make it hard for him, especially since lebron can come blitz at the rim

Durant is weird that in the sense that the best way to guard him might actually be to throw an old point guard on him.

3-0

Not really since my point is they've looked bad at times and when those times have happened Durant has exploded.

Fair, fair, and watching Houston get pantsed was pretty fun.

And yeah I know LeBron is pretty much invincible, I was just thinking of the one thing that would totally ruin this series. Even Curry or Durant going down wouldn't do it, because the other could theoretically pick up some of the slack.

Really excited for this one.

Bashez: Wow Durant is good.
Me: Yeah he's so good that he's bailed the team out when it's looked bad.
Idiot Warcrimes: Durrr they are 11-0 which means they've never looked bad at any point at all during this entire season or ever I really thinkt his because I'm a big loving stupid person

nice meltdown.

It's like Klay Thompson didn't ball out in last year's playoffs when Steph was injured. If Durant isn't here, who's to say Klay doesn't blow up again? He hasn't been really needed yet. Yes, they're a much better team with Durant.

And when Durrant looked bad, Curry has exploded. And when both looked bad, Draymond took his defense on a new level.

maybe you are saying that the Warriors would occasionally stagnate last season and in those moments this season Durant tends to come alive and bail them out?

but phrasin' it like the warriors wouldn't be 11-0 without Durant is silly. Without Durant the Warriors would be playing 4v5 at various points in the game which I'm certain the Spurs could have capitalized on. Without Durant many of the Warriors passes would simply have sailed out of bounds, watches eyes moving across the eerie empty swing position with a confusing and unspeakable sense of loss

edit: I think that's supposed to be watching eyes or something not sure
