KD

• 2 years with Warriors
• 2 NBA titles
• 2 Finals MVPS
• makes the Warriors worse according to Cortez. LMAO

totally laughable

Where's Larry Allen when you need him

We are better with KD obviously, but I also think it works both ways. KD is better with us too.

It shows the most in the finals because Cleveland is the team that employs the hell bent get the ball out of Stephs hands defense. That leaves KD one on one, which is wide open for him (tougher when Brons on him, but he still has the length/height advantage to get a shot off).

A lot of his success is because he's probably in the most favorable position a player of his caliber has ever been in. He's been on some talented teams and never got it done. Steph schooled him and Westbrook regularly. We've boosted his image more than he's boosted ours, that's for sure.

Good to see Klay returning to form, that boy is deadly

This dude is in his prime

Is 5 min extra a night really gonna hurt him?

That's for the playoffs. All the fans are worried about these lackluster efforts, but I don't think the team or coaching staff is at all. Kerr is playing with line ups and rotations, now is the time to experiment and just win enough to get in the playoffs with as high a seed as possible. Then you turn it on. The only thing to really worry about would be injury ... something a heavier workload (say regular 40 min nights) might bring on. Kerr knows better than any coach in the league how hard it is to sustain success, and to stay motivated game after game in these semi meaningless games. I have some issues with Kerr's way of doing business, but understanding the championship players mindset and mentality is not one of them. In that respect he is the perfect coach for this team.

When he is dialed in we can't be stopped.

Teams feared the big three:
Ezeli, Mo Buckets and Barbosa.

McCaw is now a Raptor so getting cut by the Cavs worked out for him, at least for now.

No but he can chase ring #3 now without Curry, KD and Klay in his shadow.

The Warriors have filed a complaing with the NBA office about how this was handled, and the NBA has approved the complaint and will start an investigation.

Basically the Cavs signed him to a 2 year, NON-guaranteed contract and then cut him 3 days later. The Warriors got totally screwed in this scenario, as it is abundantly clear that the Cavs never had any intention of having him on the team.

This may not seem like a big deal to people because they dont think McCaw is any good. But I guarantee you a rule will be changed because of it, which at the very least will not allow a team to sign a Restricted Free Agent to a non-guaranteed contract.

That doesn't help him get paid though if he's not playing much.
