Or like the Spurs have won 5 titles in 15 years or so but they didn't play KD that one year or Westbrook another year etc. I barely remember anything about Finals that happened more than 5 years ago. This is just a lazy stance. Yes the general public will forget but it doesn’t mean there aren’t varying degrees of difficulty between titles or finals runs.

I mean sure it's basketball forum fodder but in the grand scheme of things it feels like something that loses its edge over time. People can say they still remember how 2015 went down but it hasn't exactly seeped into the way people talk or think about the Warriors. People give KD crap for going there instead of wondering whether we got it backwards and that the real story is the Steph/Klay/Iggy/Draymond core never won anything without a.) Lebron's entire team being dead or b.) needing to recruit KD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some people forgetting or being unaware of key details is not my concern. I care about reality not perception. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never seen an article that has ranked the final runs, I don't think this is a thing that people talk about. it still really doesn't matter that much if you think someone had a difficult finals run or not. also, almost everyone will forget, it's not that important. what's more impressive: the raptors beating the warriors with klay missing 1 game and kd missing 3/4 or the warriors beating this raptors team?

kyle21121 Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 LIS people were picking the warriors in 5 even without KD and some people even truly believed the warriors were a better team without him (not everyone was joking about it). Klay probably is back and KD could very well be back as well. This is still a very impressive run. Just gotta finish it off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either team could've won. It's not black & white. You're the one who keeps quoting me. I was done in this thread multiple times. If you didn't care you wouldn't continue to wrongly argue.

kyle21121 Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 Let’s say Klay is back next game and KD is back game 5. Whether it’s 2-2 or 3-1 the warriors can still win. Will this change anything? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RaidersAreOne Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 What's the deal with Durant? I thought it was his calf but there's a lot of speculation that it's an Achilles injury which may be way more severe. I'm out of the loop here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J-ALL-DAY Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 Damn it time for the Dubs. Have a chance to win game 4, but uphill battle. At this point it is fair to say he doesn't return to this series. If the Raptors win and are up 3-1? Then no point. If it is 2-2? That changes things but still tough to see him returning. Congrats on this ********** title Raptors fans!!! Just know no one will talk about this title 20 years from now!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
