Nothing against Kawhi- he's now the best player in the world- or the Raptors- thru played great and are a heck of a team... but pretty sure injuries destroyed this dynasty. A healthy Warriors team wins the series pretty easily. The Warriors built their 'dynasty' on injuries... to Kyrie/Love in 2015 and Kawhi in 2017. Without those injuries the Warriors' 'dynasty' would be one championship won last year. It's amazing how Warrior fans and Bay Area folks quickly gloss over injuries that helped the Dubs. Ding ding ding. Give this man some moooney. A very well informed sports fan who nailed it on the head.

Dont forget last season the rockets were up 3-2 and then cp3 got hurt.

The 2 injuries to the warriors are catastrophic. one out for all of next year, the other out for 9 months. one is perhaps the best player in the league and Clay had 30 by the end of the 3rd quarter last night. He is also their best on ball defender. The warriors were up 85 to 80 when Clay got hurt. The warriors team that finished the game would not have even made the western conference playoffs....yet they still had a chance to win on their last possession. I love Kawhi, but injuries killed the warriors. When Clay went down, all dub fans knew it was over. But please find one NBA analyst that will say the warriors at full strength would not have beat the Raptors... answer there are none. So give props to Kawhi and raptors , but please with the Kawhi destroyed the warriors...geese.

No one wants to talk about that. If he is healthy, this isn't even close, with or without JD and Klay. Want some proof? Watch Kawhi walk away from this interview. He can barely move, poor guy: www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=23&v=atPb6fSWUZQ

He can barely move, poor guy: www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=23&v=atPb6fSWUZQHe struggled physically for the last nine games of the playoffs. He finished with great stats and numbers but his results were significantly muted by the fact that he was compromised for 37.5% (9 of 24 games) of the playoffs. The impact that he had over those last nine games was remarkable considering that he couldn’t run, jump, or cut. Healthy Kawhi was an unstoppable force.

Yeah and Iguodala was hurt earlier in the series when the Warriors were up and its amazing how Warrior haters (jealous much?) "forget" to ever mention that when using the CP3 injury narrative. Plus 0-27 in game 7. Plus what had Chris Paul ever really won anything? The Rockets, and Paul, had chances with KD out in games 6 ... AND ... game 7 this year. And once again showed their, flopping, flailing, whining choker "character"

Kawhi is incredible, as I said earlier, with KD now out he's probably the best player in the world. Even with KD not hurt, he still could be #1. But with both rosters completely healthy, most every expert who isn't biased would pick the Warriors to win. Probably pretty comfortably. This does not diminish the Raptors championship, I never believe in the ridiculous "asterisk" comments people throw out there. They were great, they are worthy and deserving champs.

He can barely move, poor guy: www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=23&v=atPb6fSWUZQThis is ridiculous. NO player isn't at diminished capacity at this point of the season. Every player is playing with some sort of injury. Part of Kawhis "struggles" if you are implying that is the Warriors were extremely focused on stopping him. You can't have it both ways. Iguodala, Looney and Steph were all playing with injuries- just like several Raptors. You say no one talked about Kawhi playing injured? Are you serious? Did you even watch, listen or read any of the coverage? It was mentioned all the time. You are just attempting to legitimize a ridiculous premise on several levels... That Kawhi, or any player, would ever be "healthy" at this point, and if KD and Klay played the entire series, I don't care if Kawhi had only played 30 games at that point, its ridiculous to believe that the Raptors would win and "it wouldn't even be close". That's beyond laughable. Not even the entire country of Canada would believe that, not even the Raptor players would believe that. I subscribe to the Athletic and read hundreds of comments from Raptors fans during the series, and not one went as far as you did.

No. Was cp3? Yes. Was kyrie and love? Yes. Was Kawhi? Yes. This is about superstar players. If we are talking about key role players then I'll add Tony parker to the 2017 series who was out with a quad injury and had a good series vs Memphis before getting injured. Sorry, but igoudala wasn't the reason why warriors could've lost if cp3 didnt get injured. If any of the big 4 were out then I'd understand. We aren't talking about this year.

Up 23 in game 1 in Oakland... then Zaza intentionally injures Kawhi... yeah, sounds real delusional. Warrior fans are beyond phony. Gonna be fun watching the entire Bay Area jump off the bandwagon. Chef Curry chokes on the biggest stage. Draymond is incredibly over-rated and can't carry the load without MULTIPLE HOFers surrounding him. Durant will always be considered a coward. Klay... he's actually okay.

Kawhi is staying in Toronto. Fans are already giving him housewarming gifts for his new house in Toronto.
He's getting a Kawactus plant for his new house.
