Having arguably the best player in the world on your team fully healthy dropping 40 is as close to fact as it gets.

No it’s not. It’s your hypothetical scenario which you made up, which never happened.

Raptors were the better team and they deserve it. They were always going to be competitive in this one playing like that, regardless of injuries. I wrote them off before the Finals to be honest but they are a great team.

You are making stupid assumptions again. Maybe they win with Klay out there, maybe they don’t. The game was close all the way.

And then the dumb ‘everyone knows it’ because it’s your opinion and everyone has to share it. It doesn’t have an asterisk over it more than Warriors 2015 title or their 2017 win over Spurs. These things happen, nobody will ever win a championship without major players getting injured during season anyway.

So nice to see this from you considering 3 days back you were putting down the warriors wins as 2 only because of KD and one with the Cavs injuries . The number of u turns that you have taken in this thread is absolutely incredible
 
okay that was fun now I need all these noisy cnuts outside to stfu now, I need my sleep

So basically the only championship without an asterisk is last year.

2015 obviously has asterisk over it because of Kyrie and Love.

2016 because Green technical.

2017 because Kawhi in WCF.

:lol:

So at least tag me in it if you want to say smart comments.

Injuries happen you are right. But to have the amount of injured happen and at almost impeccable timing is why.

Apparently saying warriors with KD and Klay healthy don’t win is “stupid” get a grip. Any basketball analytic will tell you the same thing. To be the best you gotta beat the best and they did...kind of.

Toronto fans don’t care (rightfully so) I would not either but it is what it is.
 
No asterisks. Never asterisks. You play who is in front of you. Everybody should just accept it and congratulate the winners. Hopefully win it next year.

Well that was Curry discussion, not Warriors discussion. I don’t think anyone would disagree Warriors as a team deserved these championships (though probably they deserved 2016 one more than 2015, and they won the other way round).

It’s not mutually exclusive to think Warriors deserved them but Curry didn’t lead them to them without having big help from KD or injuries.
 
It was never in doubt, I don't understand Toronto fans who were actually nervous.
Congratulations, this is well deserved you can only beat what's in front of you.
 
Sarni said:
Yes, because that never happened and nobody knows what the outcome would have been if it did.

Jesus Christ. Wow. That’s like saying Messi is not going to score 20 goals next season “because it didn’t happen yet” so it’s stupid to assume that.

Klay was healthy for 4 and 3/4 games of the series. Raptors were still doing well then.

KD we will never know. Would have been sort of fun to see him go against Kawhi but it wasn’t meant to be.

No what’s stupid is to assume that you know the outcome of something that never happened and call it a fact.

Perfectly fine to say it’s your view. Silly to call it a fact and expect everyone to think the same.

So you are putting asterisks on curry titles but then asking others not to do it for this one . That makes sense

I’m not putting asterisks on Curry’s titles to be fair.

Saying as a leader of a championship team, he was a bit lucky that the first time he faced a depleted Cavs team and the next couple of times KD was really the one who took over in crucial moments.

Are Raptors lucky to have faced Warriors without KD? Obviously they are.

Messi has never played in Portugal so he would never score 20 goals in Portugal because “it never happened”.

I said congrats to Toronto and as someone else said you can only beat what’s in front of you but they don’t beat a full strength warriors.

You do realize I’m not saying that, right?

I don’t pretend to know the outcome of the series if KD plays. Maybe they win, maybe they don’t, we will never find out. Toronto showed they are a very good team in these playoffs, which at least suggests that they would be competitive regardless of circumstances. They would have had it much tougher but not impossible that they still win.
 
Will the Warriors still be considered a dynasty ? Not for me, there are too many things wrong with this team, the stars need to align perfectly for them in order to win the NBA title.

I am not trying to. I made a comment which is not wrong to say or “assume” but he got butthurt about it.

Like I said Toronto should not give a shet they won and history will say they are champions.
 
4 of the last 5 Finals series were won on the road.

In this series, only one game went to the home team (Game 1).

It’s always wrong to call something that never happened ‘a fact’.

5 straight final. Record wins in a season
3 rings in 5 years. They have to be considered a dynasty.
