One positive with Durant on the Warriors vs Cavs is

[IllmaticDelta]

GSW added the superstar who can't beat Lebron at the expense of depth, defense, size, rim protection, playoff rebounding, and, most importantly, chemistry.

KD will bring his increasingly underwhelming playoff performances to a team that was literally two buckets away from a top-3-5 total season in NBA history.

Out of all the superstars they could have added to beat CLE, they chose the one whose teams suffer most against Bron.

he's better than Barnes but KD shrinks vs lebron

 

[ArmchairCritic]

On one hand he's taking Barnes' shots and a few more and that pick and roll with Curry is just plain nasty.

On the other hand this ain't stopping Kyrie and Bron getting to the basket all willy nilly nor will it stop Thompson getting loads of offensive rebounds, also in the clutch will GSW execute or will they all just shyt the bed again? (KD down the stretch in that OKC/GSW series was just )

It's going to be super interesting to watch and let's hope we get this finals matchup again. Roll on next season.

If IGGY stays Durant won't even guard Lebron so

Iggy can't guard Bron either though, especially with no shot blockers out there.

iggy cant guard lebron w/o weak side help-rim protection either

 

[Lord_Chief_Rocka]

Alright but even with that the Cavs can't beat them

 

[O.T.I.S.]

Iggy guards Lebron better than anyone not named Kawhi. Its cool, but Lebron knows hes not beating these nikkas if they are in sync. Green, Iggy, and KD will have to guard Lebron and thats FINE.

They gonna keep trying to put Curry in matchups with Lebron but KD is not going to shoot or play as trash as Barnes did in the finals because he has more physical and natural talents than Barnes.

Not saying the warriors will smash, we got to see how they mesh and play together. But KD's length, Greens genuinely good defense, plus Klay being a SOLID defender, etc...

Then honestly this team shouldnt even lose a game unless they fukk around on defense which is what GS is known for aside from turnovers. If GS didnt turn the ball over as much they would be the best team in history

Casuals smh

The Cavs are a good team but seems they have to be perfect to beat the Warriors. Don't just watch the box score, watch the game. They have to scratch and claw
