The Warriors have regressed defensively because they’ve also relied on KD’s defense and desperately miss his length in passing lanes. It was jarring to see how awful Harden was when KD had him locked up on the perimeter. It’s also easy to see why Houston’s owner is cleaning house after they bottled KD being out in part of game 5 and game 6 lol.
I’m completely baffled by basketball fans using the results of this series so far as an indictment against LeBron. Raptors are a BETTER team from top to bottom because unlike the overrated Griffin, Masai Ujiri emphasizes size, defense and basketball IQ.
Warrior won 73 games then added KD because they were no longer confident they could beat LeBron (+Kyrie). They were no longer confident Curry and Klays motion offense could produce late against tough competition. This series is NOT an indictment against LeBron and in fact supports how the Warriors felt internally about their team prior to acquiring KD. Sure they’ve sacrificed the depth and shooting that made Curry impossible to guard but what enabled them to do that was the 12 million he was making due to his injury history.
