I would say the 2018 Rockets beat themselves more so than the Warriors beating them with key injuries (Luc A Moute, and CP3) one underperformer ( Clint Capela), and the 27 missed 3s and still losing by single digits.....with a 15 point lead at halftime without CP3. 2017-2018 season Rockets is the focus Don't bring up the yr after when KD got hurt....Rockets lost 2 key pieces in free agency and CP3 and Harden started feuding and the chemistry wasn't the same.

[@lioninthesun]

The threepeat lakers only beat themselves as well. By shaq gaining weight and kobes injuries. They don’t lose if they stayed healthy

[@BurghFinsFan]

Of the 4 titles the Warriors won, I think their 2022 one was the most impressive. It showed that they were still there when a lot of people assumed their run was over. I think that's the one that meant the most to Steph too.

The warriors didn`t need KD, they won before him and they won after him. KD needed the GSW so that he could be the guy after Harrison Barnes and the guy before Andrew Wiggins.

[@kad9947]

Maybe the history said that they didn't "need" KD, but I doubt they will ever win in a series against Prime Lebron and his healthy team. In 2022, LeBron has passed his prime. In short, they need KD to beat the LeBron Cavs, specifically.

[@goatstatusj5112]

There is something called "in the moment" and they definitely needed him for those 2 years... plus the nba world changed since he left...don't be dumb

[@xavierb9061]

Lebron with healthy teammates beat them before and after durant...they needed him

[@d3adyoutubeaccount]

If the Warriors didn’t need him, they wouldn’t have signed him. You’re also forgetting that the Warriors lost their last 3 games in the 2016 finals because they were figured out, they were not going to make it past the second round without KD those years that they won. The 2015 Warriors and 2022 Warriors are extremely different teams so this argument makes no sense. Let’s also not forget that the 2015 Warriors faced an injured Cavs team while the 2022 Warriors were an even weaker team than the 2019 Raptors. They are not considered a dynasty without KD, everyone will just say they have 2 fraud rings.

@@CG-vn8iy Today’s rules are much softer. Rodman and Jordan are fouling out, their bigs won’t be fast enough on closeouts, they’ll get outscored in one half and Pippen (who will be their most switchable defender on the floor) will be 40 feet out guarding Steph Curry, Kevin Durant or Klay Thompson while Draymond is getting an open layup.

[@alexmotts]

Yep they both needed each other just to beat Bron. That 2015 title was Bs due to those injuries. When the cavs were healthy they beat GSW. So clearly KD and the GSW both needed each other. Idk why people can't see that. Kyrie and love don't get hurt in 2015. Cavs prob won those back to back. And would've made KD move even more logical. Nobody would be saying what they are saying now

They won a championship and we're one game away from another...they could have gotten any reasonably good player to get back on top

[@ikiwheese]

Ya’ll can get triggered all you want but it’s the truth. I agree the cavs looked strong and bron definitely had a good shot at carrying the cavs forward. He clearly proved that. I’m not a Lebron fan at all but the proof is in the pudding.

so much bout kd but u cudnt once speak abt how gud curry was during this period. all the gud part of the team u spoke abt was circling around kd and all the bad part around curry and the splash brothers. lowkey sad. are we really gonna forget how curry inhibited his own growth in ball for the overall team success. he cudve have played like how he does now way back then too. with insane finishes at the basket. hes just more than wht stats can show. and cmon he averaged just 2 points less than kd in the 18 finals. the main focus of defense was curry.
