Well I agree with pretty much everything and he is still a generational player and the best shooter easily…Lebron took them to a tough 6 games series without Kyrie and Love. I would think even if Kyrie doesn’t get injured in game one they have a far greater chance and it goes 7. I don’t like the odds for GS bc Kyrie was unstoppable vs GS most of those years
Hate the injury excuse for any team. Being healthy is a big part of winning championships. They win 3 with KD if he and Klay don’t get hurt in the finals. So what? Kawhi and Toronto’s ring don’t count?

I was just referring to Tlance saying, "GS probably still wins in 2015 if CLE is healthy". It wasn't an excuse, I just don't agree.

All good to disagree…

But what I think people forget is that the Cavs were a bit of a mess and the stars weren’t playing that well together.

Which is why I don’t think it would have made the difference it appeared to on paper.

David Blatt did get fired very early in the next season and it wasn’t because Kyrie and Love were injured the year prior.

Kind of an odd thing to post. Steph's resume >> KD's resume.

Steph's legacy is set. He's always been the most important Warrior, even when KD joined them. And obviously the greatest shooter the league has seen.

Steph already had a ring before KD joined a team he couldn't beat that were the 2x defending conference champs with the 2x League MVP.

And when the Warriors beat the Celtics in Finals that was proof that KD needed the Warriors more than the Warriors needed him.

Also since he walked away from the dynasty to team up with Harden & Kyrie he got a coach fired. Then he demanded a trade.

And if you really wanna do the Finals injury stuff here it is.

'15- Warriors beat an injured Cavs team

'16- Cavs beat a dinged up Warriors team (don't wanna hear any nonsense about Dray getting suspended because the Warriors had two games to take care of business and didn't.)

'19- Raptors beat an injured Warriors team

'20- Lakers beat an injured Heat team
