I also hate him because he gets a ring this year to tie Dirk. Next year maybe another and so forth. He matches Dirk in one season of coasting what it took Dirk more than a decade of hard work for. He'll also inevitably end with more rings for doing less for his team.

People keep bringing up they were 73 win team but that means nothing. The Macs had 67 wins and lost in the 1st round. Warriors had 73 wins and weren't good enough to win a ring. Durant put them over the top.

Javale put them over the top.

They won the previous year though, so I'm not sure that Durant put them over the top either.

Actually, without Durant, I don't think the Warriors win. There is a chance as that gap may have allowed Klay to shine a little more.

There is no way of knowing, but GS was up 3-1 the previous year. Had Draymond not gotten himself suspended for game 5 they likely would have won the series.

Same could be said of the previous year though. GSW's were down 2-1 to a team without Kyrie and without Love. Do the warriors win that series if Cavs are healthy?

Good point.
