    So it was KD vs Green and now looks like Teammates vs Green as well

    I was watching the replay of it on the court and he was. Also that heated exchange between KD and Green deflated their comeback in OT.

    Ironically Draymond was the one who called KD after their finals loss and recruited him

    I give Jerry West credit for actually steering Durant to the Warriors.

    Sinking ship? Man, that unit is going to be together for a while. If any of the 4 leave it more than likely will be Green, but I think he knows he a great fit there.
    LeBron will be retiring before these guys break up...

    Being the Duck that I am, I love me some Jordan Bell. But he can't cover the variety of players that Green can. (i.e guards) And although Draymond's 3 pt percentage has decreased the last two years, it is still better than Bell's. As you mentioned the play making skills are not comparable, however with Durant maybe they don't need it as much as they did pre-Durant. It obviously was not needed (or wanted) last night......

    But you are right about the boards and other hustle plays.

    Probably something along the lines of "when the going gets tough, KD leaves".

    It doesn't matter anyway, because the NBA champion will be an Eastern team for the next few years. YOU HEARD IT HERE FIRST!!!!

    Ha ha ha ha ha, that would be some fucked up shit. I can see it now. Warriors miss the playoffs and win the lottery with the worst odds in the first year of the new lottery rules.

    Ok I hate GS as much as anyone but the precedent that you’ll get suspended without pay for making a stupid basketball decision is pretty screwed up. Whatre we gonna suspend ET next time he doesnt pass to CJ when CJ wants it...?

    I doubt that is why they suspended him. It is mouth that got him in trouble.

    Korver to Philly looks very likely. They are probably going to play him as a 4 on offense, that’s going to be a weird team. It could either be super fun and good or just weird.
