    All I know is LeBron, Curry and kawhi won rings as the #1 option.

    Durant only won a ring as a role player and harden hasn't won one yet

    Durant with two Finals Most Valuable Role Player Awards I guess.

    Just like this poll, you are right, the rest of us are wrong.

    Well technically Kyrie played G1 but they lost, Bron did win the next 2 before losing in 6. Just hard to say who will win in hypotheticals.

    Sixers and Bucks are good teams but neither have the talent of the Warriors.

    My petty side is rooting for a Warriors sweep and Draymond wins FMVP. The salt would be glorious.

    It is remarkable how people keep forgetting this.

    Even without Durant, Curry + Green + Klay is the most talented trio in the NBA.

    That would completely cement Durant's departure, which is good for the league.

    He is already working overtime to defend his honor on twitter.

    He might be on suicide watch if Warriors win the title without him coming back.

    Having said that, imagine him signing back with the Warriors even if they win without him!!!!

    That would cement his status as the All time p***y!

    It is annoying how people think we have the advantage all of a sudden cause Durant went down. No.... it only brought us to par.
    Obviously, over a long 7 game series I'd like our chances more without Durant.

    In my scenario, KD rings gets invalidated. Steph again fails to win FMVP. Kawhi (best player in the league) gets swept.
    If Harden and the Rockets can't win, I only want pure misery for everyone else hahaha.
    Funny thing is I see it as a totally reasonable outcome.

    Rockets were favored by 7.5 points in game 6.

    Hope you put your money where your mouth is and made good money!

    Kawhis on/off was +4
    Curry's was +17.5

    Kawhi is good but we're talking about the leader of a dynasty.

    I'm not 100% sure kawhi is better than Harden. Playoffs yes but not regular season

    And the same Warriors without Durant are favored heavily to win the Finals against Toronto, the same Toronto that has HCA, and was 2-0 against the Warriors in the regular season.

    About time the bookies came to their senses.

    It's like all of a sudden they realized...hey wait a minute...thats still a pretty good lineup without Durant lol.

    Love the inane platitudes.

    Anyone care to guess how many titles Kawhi would have if he was playing with Green, Klay, and Durant?

    Yea they lost a close game. Given what happend the very next year, Im pretty sure Kyrie would have made an impact, enough to win Id say. I think I might take the Cavs.

    One had 3 allstar(and one fringe all star) and another had the offical lol MVP with 60 plus wins and the higest net rating in the NBA with a Superstar whos putting up....pretty great numbers. Id say they have more than s shot.

    Only reason I would want that is cause it makes us look good haha.

    Yep, they saw Curry destroy the rockets and came to their senses.

    Kawhi in that scenario would have lost to the Cavs and rockets.

    Curry shouldn't even be mentioned in this conversation and makes me question your judgement.
