Except this very thing happened in the Finals last season and this board didn't say shyt. They were too busy drowning in their own hypocrisy.
a player of Kawhi's magnitude was injured in last years Finals?Gil Scott-Heroin

This thread isn't just about Kawhi's injury. It's about all this supposed luck that the Warriors have had over the last three seasons. LeBron benefitted from a lot of "luck" in the Finals last season too. "Luck" doesn't just pertain to this GS squad like this board seems to think it does.
Luckiest team ever were the Rockets winning two titles when Jordan played baseball.
Houston brehs still in mourning, they don't need these stray shots

I don't like how you're equalizing what happened in last years playoffs to the injuries that have hobbled some of the teams Golden State has faced. Green was there for game 6 and 7 at home, he had a 32 point game in game 7 and the Dubs still lost. Iggy was playing through back spasms and Bogut fell with a knee injury. All Bogut's injury meant was more death line-up, Bogut was ineffective in the Finals, only playing 12 minutes per game and the Dubs were outscored by 9 points per 100 possessions with him on the floor. They were 73-9 and had the unanimous MVP they should be able to close.
The magnitude of those injuries is not equal to the injury bug that hit the teams Golden State faced in 2015 for example. Also, while the Dubs had they injuries in that series the Cavs also had Kevin Love miss game 3 and played the rest of the series with a concussion last year, RJ started two of the games.
Then, this year you have the Nurkic injury in round one, Gobert/Hill injury in round two, and now in round three you have the Tony Parker injury and Kawhi misses a half leading to the Spurs blowing a massive lead and he's now doubtful for game 2. Just look at 2015, historically speaking how many NBA champions have had this luck this is not to say the Dubs wouldn't have won anyway but just look son...
2015
New Orleans | Jrue Holiday | three games, 18 minutes per game, Tyreke Evans | playing through bone bruise in knee, would require surgery with 6-8 week recovery after series
Memphis
Mike Conley | five games, playing through facial injury which required face mask, neck strain, two sprained wrists, lower back tightness, right foot sprain
Houston | Patrick Beverley | did not play, torn ligament in left wrist, Donatas Montijuenas | did not play, back injury
Cleveland | Kyrie Irving | one game, fractures knee cap, Kevin Love | did not play, shoulder injury, Iman Shumpert | left game 3 early with shoulder sprain, Matthew Dellevedova | hospitalized for dehydration and cramping after game 3 (shot 5 of 26 for remainder of series)

I. Did those injuries to those teams that the Warriors faced on en route to the Finals make a difference to the result?
II. Yes, Green was out there for G6 and G7, however Iggy was hurt when Draymond came back and there was no Bogut. Two of their main defensive players were either out or injured. Draymond's only one man. You're overlooking just how much that affected this GS squad. There's a reason why LeBron hasn't done shyt against Draymond and Iggy when they're both healthy/playing - this goes all the way back to the 2015 Finals.
III. Stop talking about what happened in 2015
IV. The Cavs won G3 when Love was out. I don't see the sense in bringing that up.
The point is this, folk like to bring up and focus on the injuries that the Warriors benefitted from, but they don't apply the same to what the Cavs benefitted from. Regardless of "magnitude" of said injuries. What about the easier competition that Cavs have faced over the last three postseasons? What about everyone carrying on about how the Warriors have only beaten ONE healthy elite team in the past three years, when the Cavs haven't beaten any? Why aren't folk talking about that? Folk don't realize the very thing they shyt on this Warriors for, they're also shyttin on the Cavs, but they don't see it. Instead they treat one team as if they're frauds and the other as this proven championship squad.
The hypocrisy is on another level

2. Reread my post. Bogut was ineffective he was only averaging 12 minutes per game and the Warriors were outscored by 9 points per 100 possessions with him on the floor. All it meant was more death lineup, the best lineup in the NBA. Bogut didn't even play much in the 2015 Finals. LeBron didn't do "shyt" is hyperbole, Iggy was stripping him and he was struggling to finish at the rim but he still had some pretty good games and dropped 32 in a 30 point blow out with everyone healthy. I still remember LeBron having as good a performance as you can have given the circumstances in the '15 Finals. Iggy got Finals MVP solely off holding LeBron to 40% shooting, when Steph was clearly more deserving...
3. Why? It's the year the Dubs actually won the title...
4. Yeah, they won so what? He still got a concussion in the series, missed a game and probably played through pain...
