    Only 2 of those games were against Portland.
    In the 7 games against OKC (when they came back from a 3-1 deficit), he averaged 27.9 PPG on 44.3%, 41.6%, 89% shooting.

    But I digress, I've already filled up my vomit bucket for the day defending Durant.
    Point is, they would've had a much harder time winning their rings if Durant had some balls and actually wanted to compete. Warriors didn't need Durant to win, but they needed him out of the picture so they wouldn't have to compete against each other.

    Final verdict, they both suck.

    Harden is much better than Steph Curry.

    Well looking at the entire playoffs run , 2016 was clearly Curry's worst. He was very turnover prone and wasn't hitting his 2pt shots well.


    Another thing that's funny about Durant leaving is that outside Cleveland, that thunder team was the closest to beating the warrirors "dynasty"

    Well I don't think it's a coincidence that he faltered in his only playoff run without KD and against healthy teams.

    Everyone was thinking Thunder could run it back and beat them the next year, that's why he's considered a snake by everyone. Gave up on his team to join his competition.

    One quibble on the vote choices.

    There's Lebron …. of a couple years ago.

    And then there's everyone else.

    I Hate Lebron but he might be the best all around player the game has ever seen …. He's in the conversation with Michael , Magic and Bird.

    Well Curry won it all in 2015 without Durant. And this year looks like the same deal.

    But yeah Durant should have stayed. It's not like they do the movement stuff in OKC he doesn't like

    I kept the wording of the choices similar to what was presented to me.

    Lebron of this year shouldn't even be on that list. Lebron of prime definitely of course and could be argued that better than all.

    But I dont think Lebron was the emphasis for the argument and the poll anyways.

    It was more about the other 4 players really.

    Fair enough …. and I pretty much concur with the other 4 being equals. Its what surrounds them that separates them.

    The warrirors have been dominant since 2015 because of Curry. After Durant went down it's just become more obvious

    They probably wouldn’t have won if Kyrie and Love weren’t hurt, context bro.

    They aren’t beating Toronto without Durant.

    He’s a great player but I guarantee you they don’t beat us without Durant last year or this year
