You see life?? When Warriors lose, they say Curry only shoot 3s, Green has no skills, Zaza and McGee are useless and Klay is the only one trying. When all star comes, they say Green shouldn't be an All Star, Klay is just a catch and shoot player and Curry just has a lot of bandwagons.. But when we win, The next gist is "how won't they win when they've got 4 all Stars?" And expect us to sweep Houston..
If my time in medical school never be waste, KD will be back during the playoffs most definitely maybe Western Conference finals of we make it.. Until then, We can only hope other teams don't lose key players. No sane person here was happy 2014-15 when Kyrie and Love were out.

I heard he suffered a Grade 2 MCL sprain and tibial bone bruise. He will be re-evaluated in four weeks but there is no timetable of his return.
Lets see how Green would step up and play like Paul Pierce in his prime now that KD is injured grin

Bwahahaha...you know it will be very funny if warriors dont win WCF. The bench is thinner and niw wjth no Durant, Spurs, Rockets and even Clippers have to like their chances.

I swear! It's kind of unfortunate to lose a player like KD to injury. It's been interesting watching him this season and I hope he returns before the Playoffs/Finals. Not just because I don't want any excuse from you guys but also because I would like see a matchup between the two best players in the league.

But why is he always getting injured when things are going well for him? I remember he got injured after winning the MVP some years back as well.

He's too skinny cheesy He's just plain unlucky.

But warriors fans are not sane o. They were very happy when love and kyrie were out lol. I personally have not been able to forget the douchebag way Durant left OKC. I find it hard to hate on any player for long, but i believe durant will the first. Sneaky alley cat angry

I think you meant west is as easy as the east. West generally has faster paced teams. East is more of a grind. In todays nba, the rules favor the west much more, so yes i agree that the west is a harder conference with all the fast paced teams.
Still I think the top 4 in the east match well against the top 4 in the west.

8 years isn't enough? I played Bball today and left my team to join another team cos they kept playing like they came to talk and I kept sitting in the cold to wait for the next set.. I wanted to win.. I joined another team, I played and kept winning.. How is that a problem? cheesy you self go do am.. The dude said plainly he wanted to Win. LeBron wanted to win.. Would it have made it better if Warriors swept OKC last season and he joined Warriors??

How I wish they could get that 73-9 regular season record again. The regular season record really means a lot to our warriors grin.

What is annoying me is the Kyrie/Love comparisons to KD. Let Cavs lose Lebron. That's the easiest way to compare.

Anyways, the core of our bench are still there; Iggy, Shaun and now McGee to join. I don't like Barnes but he seems hyped about coming back to us so maybe he will do some numbers as he is ok a 3pt shooter and has meaningful defence. I fear Spurs or Rockets but we have the password to the Clippers such that even if we can't sweep them, We would still beat them, I wager in 6 games tops.

Love was out well off and Kyrie went out in game 1 when they were sure-fire going to lose. I don't remember anyone celebrating it and it appeared GSW players were sympathetic because that game 2 was a gift to extend the series grin

If the LA clippers isn't a cursed franchise I would be cheering for CP3 to get a ring This season.

It did not stop us from getting a ring in 14/15. But of course it is not important as the 7-8 January record of the cabs wasn't a reason for the class captain to cry for more help.

Sinve David Stern vetoed his trade from going to the Lakers he led the Clippers to four straight playoff appearances and two straight division titles, that guy dey ball abeg just that he looks like a player that would retire without a ring

CP3 has done a lot for the game but their success in the playoffs depends on the health of Blake Griffin. As for winning the title, I think the Cavs are in the best position for that right now.

Quit with the loser mentality already. Everyone was hyped during the December and January match up nobody wanted any players to be missing same for the finals for both teams. It'll just be courageous to say you're happy he's injured and doesn't return for the season. What does teammates do when a key player is down? Everyone's expected to steps up. Personally I think 69 isn't possible cos Kerr plans to rest players. No one's chasing records only to be fatigued going into 7 game series with a well rested Rival coming from East.

When they won 67 and 73 wins, was KD there?

Besides, that was a quip to say we would keep winning games even without him.

Clippers success don't depend on Griffin. If Paul and Griffin are healthy they have Spurs, GSW and Rockets to decide their fate.

No! I've never been scared of a Durant-led team. He's got an awful record against LeBron and It would be interesting to see them go head-2-head in the finals. We were not able to see a Kobe-LeBron finals, So a LeBron-Durant finals will certainly be a joy to watch.

Now that you have mentioned it, let me use this opportunity to dispel this misconception. The head to head has always been one sided because until now, Lebron always had the better team...CLEARLY.

So let us relax that awful record bant once and for all.

Of Course! But having a healthy Griffin will increase their chance of getting to the finals.

Tbh. KD has a horrible record against Bron. The first time KD beat LeBron was March 6, 2011. Since he got drafted in 2007, he's been choking against Bron weak Cavalier's team, there was a time he hadl 40pts and still lost to LeBron by 10pts.

The only thing he has over Bron was winning the MVP in 2014, but on the court, It’s been a lot of famine and not much feast.

For a team that won 67 and 73 wins without KD and are currently 50-10 meaning they need another 19-4 to get 69 wins (19-4 they just did BTW before their loss to the Wizards yesterday).

Can you count or is counting a fantasy as well?
