I'm looking at the Warriors' starting lineup without KD, and frankly it doesn't look good. Say they start Curry-Thompson-Iggy-Green-Looney/Bell, that's one non shooter and two guys who can be that on an off night. They really need Curry and Klay to catch fire to have a shot at winning this series without KD.

It's obvious now how wrong the anti-Durant crowd has been, just as I have been saying all along. KD has clearly been the most important player on the Warriors since he joined them and I have to seriously question the basketball knowledge of anyone who thought otherwise.

The bottom line is that if it wasn't for Kyrie and Love being injured the Warriors would have zero titles sans KD, and you can rest assured they won't be winning any more titles if KD leaves this summer. Of course, I actually think KD getting injured has left the door open for his return now that his critics are left having to eat crow.

Can't believe Toronto is going to be the team that topples this Warriors dynasty...

BUT THE REAL REASON WHY WARRIORS WILL LOSE!

For Years the Warriors had this amazing lucky stretch of being healthy throughout the post season while their opposition has always suffered... go back and look at all these series the Warriors have won because star players on the other team has been out... Finally the coin has flipped.

Golden State's bench is a problem man...

Think about it Steph had 30+ Klay 20+ Green triple double Lowry and Kawhi combine for 30% shooting...

Having Durant costs the Warriors depth and now that he's gone the Warriors are relying on G-leaguers to give them mins in the NBA finals the Warriors need Durant to win this series for sure.

Reading recent Kawhi interview saying he likes being the main man. I think he’s going to stay in Toronto.

Also, this fan base should know better than to take a 3-2 lead seriously.

See: 2009 vs Orlando Magic
See: 2010 vs LA Lakers
See: 2012 vs Miami Heat
See: 2018 vs Cleveland Cavaliers

It's quite possible.  But I also wouldn't be surprised if Kawhi leaves if Toronto wins the title.  He'd be the main man with the Clippers, too.

People forget this is Golden State we're talking about. Most of the media is writing them off after one game too. The Ringer has 6 articles all dedicated to the Demise of the Dubs. I'd be wary in doubting the heart of a champion, even a wounded one. Besides, series doesn't start until someone wins an away game.

Yeah but this is Kawhi Leonard and a size length-dominating Raptors team we are talking about, too. Golden State has nothing to respond to that until they get Durant back, as early as Game 4.

And that can mean the Raptors would be up 3-0 by then.
