GS can still win this and Durant could provide a spark. But I don’t think he’s the Durant of last years finals at the moment injury or not. And fatigue causes or prolongs injuries. Catch 22.
Give Toronto props. It’s not like the NFL. These are series. The best team normally wins.
they won without him, they won with him, back to basically the same key players from when they won without him.
obviously any team that adds Durant is a better team, but Toronto's strategy has been to let the big guns score and totally shut down the second tier that has been such a key to their success over the last 5/6 years. Durant's points might just mean less for Curry and Thompson, certainly less for the other starters and bench guys who have not done much as it is.
and G.S. had like 10 days to rest,. Tired ain't what your seeing...it's frustration and disbelief that the magic has been figured out. They may still cough it up, but we are seeing a team that has figured it out. It was bound to happen.
And claiming they are the greatest athletes in the world does not mean they have to run marathons to prove it. Nor does it mean other sports don't have amazing athletes. Skating hard for 3 minutes at a time is very hard. But I'm talking about finely conditioned giants hanging and shifting in mid air, running 90 feet back and forth over and over, the best of them for 40 and more minutes a night with a minute break here and there.
