    Like I said they are better without Durant because he stagnates the offense

    Yeah, can't say they wouldn't win but it would've been a different series if Cavs were healthy. They had some insane luck that year with injuries and not having to face LAC or SA that year.

    I think they can still beat Toronto tho, they only have one star in Kawhi and he's not a playmaker. Toronto has had alot of dry spells this playoffs especially when Kawhi sits. East teams couldn't take advantage of it but GS is a different animal.

    Huh. We'll see about that I guess.

    Do you change your mind if the raptors get swept? Or do you cop out and give all the credit to Draymond like zboy?

    I am giving all the credit to Draymond? Where?

    It is you who is giving all the credit to Curry.

    Are you projecting lol??

    I have said multiple times Curry + Green + Klay is a very formidable trio that complements each other very well.

    I have never left out Curry.

    It is you who has said that Klay and Draymond are simply role players. No they are not simply role players. They are All-Stars. Curry is a level above them but that does not make them role players, which is why this Warriors team is hard to beat.

    So now you're saving green and Klay are mvp level players and #1 options?

    Way off

    NO I didnt.

    No offense, but you have SERIOUS reading comprehension issues and make up a lot of ridiculous claims.

    I made this poll because of one of your many ridiculous claims and I hope you are paying attention to the results so far.

    Yes Harden is in a lower tier than Kawhi, LeBron, Curry and Durant. And he won't be on their level until he wins a championship.

    The poll has too many moving parts. Tons of people overrated Durant. And LeBron is old and declining. So it's not really clear what it's measuring

    I didn't say make a poll. And you haven't made a kawhi one yet.

    And why are you such a Green/Klay fan? It's weird. they are good but neither will ever be the best player on a championship team

    I dont need your permission to make a poll.

    You made a claim.

    I made a poll to show you that heavy majority of the board does not agree with your claim, a claim that you thought was a sure fire truth.

    Kawhi is included in this poll. Use logic to come up with that the board thinks about the 5 players. Post #14 in this thread summarizes it very well.

    And please take some reading comprehension and logic classes.

    I am not a Green/Klay fan but I appreciate what they bring to the table. Just because they cannot be the best player on championship team does not mean Curry gets all the credit and their work get discredited. Does not mean that what they bring is not as important than what Curry brings. Which is exactly what you have been doing and others have been calling you out for it. Just as an example, Green anchors their defense, while Curry is the weakest link on defense on that team. Without Green, Curry would get exposed a lot more on defense. Green shields him.

    This poll doesn't show that.

    Why don't you make a poll of dray and Klay vs.curry? Since you think Curry is not better than those two

    And how are worse players more important than better players? That's self contradicting. You admit Curry is their best player so you should give him the lions share of the credit

    They are NOOOOOOOT BETTER without Durant, thats is absolutely ridiculous and no one I mean NO ONE on the Warriors will tell you differently. Look at their PLAYOFF RECORD with Durant which is all that matters.

    The poll shows the results of of the exact claim you made here...

    Like I said, your reading comprehension is not there to grasp it.


    Also, once again, I did not say that "Curry is not better than those two."

    I am not kidding, a reading comprehension class would do wonders for you.

    I am going to stop here because frankly, you are hopeless.

    Idk, seemed like they would have, Lebron took them to 6 by himself, that is crazy.

    Will see what happens, Philly and the Bucks were not easy teams to beat by no means, they are battled tested.

    Well that depends on if Durant and/or Cousins come back and make an impact. Though to be honest if they get swept ill be thinking more about wha thtat says about the Rockets haha.

    Why do you keep linking the Dillard poll?

    And if Curry is better why don't you give him the most credit? Makes no sense

    I am linking to the post you made which became this poll, you dumbass, lol.

    Also note which name is in this poll and which name is included in the top 5 players. See Klay or Green in there?

    You are...umm.....slow.
