Do you think the Warriors can win without Kevin Durant?
Of course they can. 100% facts
Because they did it before. Duh.
No Way, they’re losing to Portland, I guarantee it.
@@forks3819 hahahahahahaha...nah bruh
R YALL SLOW OR NAH? smh
The Warriors style of play is so much superior to the Rockets style of play.
Jim Brown or anyone else’s in the nba that’s what makes them so special plus on any given night u got 3 shooters that will give u 40+ points 🤷🏼♂️
Yes! Actual defense, no flopping, low to no turnovers, lots of ball movement on offense, mid range jumpers, and playing your best in big games.
Warriors' style is better to watch. I will give you that. But if you want to win vs this Warriors team, you can't play the same style because Warriors' roster is that much better on paper. Iso-heavy is ugly, but it gave Rockets a chance -- helped conserve energy on defense to switch everything and slowed down the pace. Rockets lost because of late game execution, *despite* having the style that gave them the best chance to win. Most other teams can only dream to have a close series with the Warriors.
rockets I feel rely to much on free throws
so correct!
Warriors with Steph are 30-4 without kd so Idk why people were surprised
I wasn't surprised they were a great team without k.d people forgot.
people were surprised because the splash bros looked tired and beat up but they came back to life and Rockets choked big time as well
That number is skewed it's just another misleading number they repeat over and over again to push a incorrect narrative. But the haters are going to run with whatever they can. I understand keep it up guys. One question why was KD the finals MVP twice then? Mic drop

Brent Thompson who knows because Steph shoulda got the last one😂😂and they are better without KD, statistics prove they are better without KD. It has nothing to do with hating, KD is a great player but facts are facts. You wana defend him so bad.
Idk why but the title of this video bothers me lol. The warriors have already showed that they could win without kd by winning a championship without kd. What are we talking about people?
Put "still" before win.
Different team
@@kefkapalazzo1 Facts & Giannis gone win this yr!!
Facts.
Facts. Kd needed the warriors to win a chip more than the warriors needed him. That’s why this team eliminated KD in 2016
Do not speak of MJ & Hardin in the same breath. That's ridiculous. Interesting entertainment but not realistic comparison.
Exactly. You ain’t Jordan. In the words of SAS “You ain’t Steph Curry”!!!
If only we could see what Jordan would do with D’Antoni as coach.
@@eqsharp he would break wilts record and probably average 60 points a season,gets burned out in the postseason from playing against box and one defenses,he would probably still win 1-2 cause he is MJ but def not 6,phil jackson did his fair share with MJ and with kobe,just not with the knicks cause he DGAF anymore :D
This is why it's hard to give Kevin Durant full credit and hit him with crowns. HIS TEAM WOULD BE THERE WITH OR WITHOUT HIM.
One Man Thats not how u evaluate players. Because when MJ left the bulls the first time and they still won 55 games, but he still the GOAT period.
Also look at NE’s record without Brady
@@rodneyharrison2009 but at the same time that explains why he has all them championships...because he had a good team
@@rodneyharrison2009 i mean spurs lose their core at same time and were still winning then lose kawhi and still make playoffs that is the best ststem coach in basketball especially in a team sport where individual skill can put you over the top
I don't think KD is a U2 fan.
They won 73 games and almost 2 titles WITHOUT him. What do you think?!
The only they lost was because multiple injuries, the suspension and suspect officiating. That's it. Otherwise they win that series in 5.
@Allen Baerry wrong. You can't say that definitively. No games to base it on.
Almost being the operative word. They LOST!!!! period they LOST!!!. Get over it they had a great regular season but if you asked them they would of rather won the championship then get the regular season record. They would all say the championship stop this pathetic attempt to downplay this KD because you were wrong about Lebron being the GOAT
@@KDsonlineattorney8387 you can downplay kd, he is just a luxury. He can do it all but he can do it on any team, it change the result.
@@kasimk4 you cant be serious
Man, ESPN will never respect Iguodala’s plea to have everyone stop calling him Iggy 😂
Nick's bromance with James "the flopper" Harden continues, LOL.
Warriors are like 28-4 without KD, so I don’t understand why people thought this should be a easy win for the Rockets.
EDIT: 29-4 before the recent game against the Rockets
30-4 after the Rockets win
Correction: Now 30-4. They were 29-4 before Game 6
Because they were still missing 2 starters and were not used to playing without him. It’s hard to go back to the old game plan so quick
It'z Blackace The biggest thing is their lack of depth. They were relying on KD isos so Curry and Klay could rest on offense, I think in the finals especially they will show how exhausted their old legs are after annual finals runs. Mileage catches up to you and their offense without KD has tons of running, screens, and cutting.
@@ImAviex Yeah but KD will be fresh. Curry missed time this year too. Iggy and Draymond are 16 game players.
The only player who should be really tired is klay but he isn't tasked with creating his own offence so it will probably be fine. (outside of lebron he is probably in the best condition of any player in the nba)
And either giannis or kawhi will be exhausted as they will have to guard each other and score iso on each other so they will be more tired.
Funny how the same people who discredited the 2015 championship that the warriors won are the same people who bring it up to say "they won without him". I could've sworn I kept hearing about how kyrie and kevin love were hurt the year they won so it was a fluke, now it counts because people are trying to diminish KD's value to the team. That's a contradiction if you ask me.
Big Dawg basketball fans are hypocrites
Eat your own words up CC and Nick Wrong
If their bench can produce, they definitely winning it all
"That style of play isn't going to win the rockets a championship" kobe 💯
how many times you gonna recycle this comment on every nba related video just to get some likes? LOL chill
Nick recovered fast after Friday 🤣🤣 Houston got good hospitals 🙏🏽
The warriors are like the pats hated and they win and they have good system
Pats are way better and you can't really make that comparison. 53 man roster vs 11 man roster.
Vaan Ravishankar I’m talking about fitting players in and still winning their roster has changed a lot but they have kept key players
I hate the way Nick Wright confidently asserts his conclusions about the Warriors. He dislikes them so much it always clouds his judgement & he is invariably dead wrong. He smugly predicted that Cleveland would beat the Dubs in 5 in 2017. He never gave them any credit for their titles, treating each one as a fluke. Calling him Nick Wrong is totally appropriate.
Ian Forsyth THANK YOU! Someone had to say it 💯🙄 him and max kellerman hate on them so hard! And they love to hate on KD for absolutely nothing
Ian Forsyth L
Seems like you have an inferiority complex. I heard Nick give the Warriors a lot of praise in this vid.
eqsharp maybe your brain just can’t function properly but I need you to know SHADE and sarcasm when you see it. This was not praise he’s taking shots the entire vid
MC Champ Sorry. I don’t think like a woman. Looking for “shade” in every comment instead of accepting words for what they are and what they mean.
Who didnt know all of this? Oh, right, Nick Wrong!
hey his name is Nick Right lol
I would love to replay all the bashing Nick gave to GSW.
same
Tillman, Your Rockets will not win a title with Mike D'Antoni and/or Chris Paul.
Thank you Warriors player for what you do for the game.
Wow, great point. We HAVE been robbed of Steph Curry. It's a win-win for the Warriors, they can win with KD, but they can win just as easily without, since the other players can rise up and do their thing which is just as good.
Curry and Klay are the heart of the Warriors. KD is the appendix.
Dude took a work of art and made it boring af to watch.
@wade wilson I always looked at KD as an extreme role player. Definitely not the leader and not the best player in the game. He still has to prove he can lead a team.
Eric Lind the thing is, he has the talent to be the best player in the league and even a top 5 all time player, but either his basketball iq or his selfishness will stop him. I don’t know which it is that makes him want to continually break the warriors systems
@wade wilson how could he ride their coattails when he was the one who neutralized Lebron ? You think klay and steph did ? Go watch those play offs again ;). Steph did play well last year , I'll give him that but they still wouldn't have won the last 2 without Durant.
@@22BCMF go watch the clippers series again, and watch ker beg him to lead the warriors past the clippers because steph and klay went missing. Lol. Durant isn't selfish at all. Were do you get this ?
Dan , McGill then he doesn’t have a basketball iq, they literally don’t even look like the same team, ever since the first playoffs they played together, the flow that made this team unbeatable stopped, when KD is on the floor doing his iso game, curry and klay spend most of their time standing and watching and all of green’s talent goes out the window, if KD plays within the warriors system, like they did the first playoffs they played together, this is the greatest team the nba has ever seen and it’s not even close, if he starts doing his selfish iso play, the team goes from untouchable to beatable
this was the best I have ever seen Nick commentate.
James Harden 6 turnovers (4 of them in the 4th quarter), -10 +/-
That's not going to get it done against the Warriors.
Or anyone if your close in the 4th
And 2015 confirms this
The rockets remind me a bit of Nick. Analytics can get you pretty far in life, but without talent you’ll never be considered one of the greats.
Harden played less than he did in the regular season. Played ok, but lower pts, lower fg%. Cant play your best ball in the regular season.
It's refreshing to hear nick heap praise on another player, especially the baby face assassin!
I'm glad someone said it besides myself, WE'VE BEEN ROBBED OF STEPH CURRY!
The Warriors style of basketball has been the most successful in the game they really didn't need KD
Their style was modeled after what the Spurs did in 2014 by obliterating Lebron's Heat despite having less talent. GS has taking it to the extreme with a LOT of talent. Kerr is a Pop guy.
D'Antoni set the Rockets up for success 3 years in a row. And it took choking players to lose. They just literally mentioned all the occasions where Harden chocked. And that wasn't D'Antoni. That was Harden! Last year was a freak stretch that kept them from beating the GSW. His system works. If he didn't come up against one of the greatest teams ever his system would have won!!!
PREACH Broussard! PREACH!
Steve Kerr finally getting some recognition on his ability to coach
They should make
Pg steph
Sg klay
Sf dray
Pf looney
C boogie
Everybody gets paid 💰
Steve Kerr does deserve some credit for holding this ship together, but mark Jackson deserves more credit for building this monster and unfortunately didn’t get to reap any of the benefits
That's why I wanted the Lakers to sign him people forget he made the warriors what they are
No he doesn't. Stop lying to yourself you delusional, uninformed idiot.
I watched this team in the Mark Jackson era. Trust me he wasn't gonna get this team anywhere. All he ran was iso. Kerr came in and created a culture and a system, similar to the one in San Antonio during the Duncan days.
@@wowlover253 absolutely right. Mark Jackson had Draymond on the bench lol
Mark Jackson so good all the coaching offers rolling in
No they proved they can win a game or two without KD. Never forget they got rocked 3x in a row and lost the Finals and RECRUITED him. Let's tell the whole truth!
After doing the same to him ...,
CC can't bring himself to give curry credit, it's hilarious
Warriors made basketball fun to watch! 2nd year CURRY was exciting
Feels weird to hear Nick Wright praising the Dubbs... He wants KD out tho..
They got Kevin because they needed to rest their stars who had injuries. They rewarded him by giving him a welcoming place. They are stronger rested smarter now
Rockets won’t will a title unless they change their idiotic philosophy of iso for James and no shot creators and only guys catch and shoot 3s like crazy with no mid range game at all they need to change that to have a chance to win a championship in my opinion
Everyone can see that the Rockets system and/ or players mix are not built or constructed for a championship run.
DD2F Free not rockets fans
To Harden: too much dribbling won’t win you championships it is inefficient and easy to depend. Just look at Iverson you should learn from his experience. Dribble with a purpose. Dribbling too much freezes your team mates. Be smart and dribble less.
Jenna is the opposite of Molly, i.e. has great questions and doesn't mutter nonsense.

@@paulwilliams2024 sounds good
@Phenom AL what's that
Blazers in 7.
I mean Why y’all tryna downplay kd without him curry would have lost to lebron again kd neutralize lebron plus shooting 3pts in his face
Maaan. House of Highlights, Dawkins or Ximo need to get footage of every MVP season so people can really compare how good these guys were at their best. Steph is one of my all time players, and I know it might be recency bias. But I don't remember people bringing up a players single season and talk about how fun or great it was to watch them as much as they bring up Steph, maybe DRose and Lebron's First Championship MVP season. It would really be interesting to re-watch.
I like KD BUT love the WARRIORS style of PLAY WAY better no mo iso ball
This was a defining moment in the warriors dynasty where Steph and klay pulled it out on the road en route to a 4 of 5
Harden can't play off the ball and the Rockets system completely ignores legit bigs. Harden will *NEVER* win a title as the number 1 option.
The win of Warriors means KDs championships has less value. Making KD not in same level with Lebron and MJ
Lebron is not at the same level as MJ either
I guess the talking heads would have been happier if GS lost so they could say "see, they can't win without KD." Buncha nonsense!
They technically just did that against the Raptors as an excuse... They win because GSW don't have KD lmao... Make up their minds... I thought GSW didn't need KD to win
Definitely a legacy game for Steph
Chris Carter knows his basketball
This year i WANT STEPH TO WIN MVP OF THIS CHAMPIONSHIP NOT KD
Steph wants rings not buckets.. he’s a mature leader true point guard not a Westbrook
warriors still have 3 superstars without kd
And don't forget Iggy, a former Finals MVP. He used to be a burgeoning superstar at Philly.
It wasn't proven it was already known
Steph was doing it in the beginning of this year, until he got hurt.
To win a championship for Houston Rockets, owner mus trade James Harden for Steph Curry...Harden is a one man show that makes the game so predictable. Also fire its ineffective coach for making that kind of system...basketball is not an individual sport...it has to be a team efforts and success!!!
Yes Mike reminds me of Don Nelson. Who ironically coached in Oakland himself
I miss the Warriors of old in the 2015 and 2016 playoffs. After KD went there it just caused a lot of drama and the offense became more boom or bust cause Durant is a crybaby POS. Was nice flashback to the past to see them play like they did in Game 6 the other night
Let’s be real. KD’s greatest plus to the warriors is that he made the warriors able to absorb injuries.
Injuries were the major issue with the warriors before KD came. The warriors had a grueling western conference and then had to face a much more fresh Cavs with LeBron.
KD’s purpose is to get Steph and Klay to the finals healthy
Good point. KD is just an extreme role player.
Love the Ad keep it up ✅📈
You can't judge Harden & D'antoni like any other player (except LBJ) or any other coach the same (Except: West-Baylor vs 60' Celtics' All-Stars). This Dubs team is THE GOAT TEAM WITHOUT KD - they should have won the last FOUR Chips (except for Draymond being Draymond in '16). You can be the GOAT player, or GOAT Top-3 player (LBJ) and you can't beat the GOAT TEAM WITHOUT KD; much less the GOAT team WITH KD.
After thoroughly revolutionizing the game at Phoenix, playing the Dubs so close again and again, is further proof that D'antoni IS a Hall-Of-Fame coach; and Harden (as much as I'm not thrilled with his game) IS an All-Time Great.
Why is this news? The Warriors won a chip without KD. And they still don't need him. The media wants us to think the Warriors need KD to win.
Even Stevie wonder seen this coming 🤷🏼♂️😂😂😂😂
Phenom AL Warriors beating Clippers,Rockets & Portland 🤷♂️😂😂😂😂
“Just casually BUCKETTS”
The gsw they champion already before KD arived KD long years in OKC nothing happened on OKC if KD remains in OKC I'm sure KD not taste a championship in finals MVP
Perfect analogy
They don't need K.D just need a decent big man. K.D has gotten a BIG HEAD. He went win anywhere else
Nick wright constantly hates on KD & the warriors so much just because they ruined Lebrons legacy for him lmao
Warriors never needed kd
Butler: Go-to Star (Harden = Play-making Star)

CP3: LobCityEast
*Perhaps the can move Clint and acquire Boogie. Harden, Butler, and Boogie.
Nick! News flash....Klay is a Super Star!!!!
I mean they beat Harden and Cp0, they shrink in playoffs! we all know this.
Blah blah.. WARRIORS are not champion team without Kevin Durant..... prison of moments.... ROCKETS play style can not beat a TEAM...period...
coaching!!!!!!!!!!! Nene guarding S Curry?!?!? in game 5.... C Capella guarding S Curry ?!?!?! in game 6... please... Rockets need a SYSTEM!!!! not a school teacher coach!! no street wisdom!!! no passion!!! can't win championships without either!
Buddy really just said draymond viewed as a star 😭😭
OtayTv He is
Alot of idiots don’t know basketball. The system and style that the Rockets use isn’t why they won’t win a chip. Even the GSW admit that the Rockets give them the best push in the post season with their style.
If the Rockets ran the GSW system, and played “pretty basketball”, they’d still lose. The Rockets changing their style of play isn’t going to somehow catapult them past GSW.
The problem is GSW has better players (Curry, Klay, DG, Iggy). Period. End of story.
Harrison barnes anyone? With his 3-26 self
Why is Chris on first things first and not on undisputed???
The blazers might be done in 4 minimum 5
I think k Harden could win if he goes back to OKC. No joke.
vinnythewebsurfer no one can win in OKC
KD has already made it possible for them to win, the rough part is gone. KD, LeBron, and Harden, They makes the game more entertaining than the commentators.
Jenna is very distracting... in a good way.
The Warriors will tell you they won with D'Antoni's system. That's what Alvin Gentry said in 2015.
Of course harden can win, hes had great success these past 2 seasons in the reg n post season he jus keeps running into the goat team which nobody can beat. NO SHAME IN THAT!
D'Antoni will never wing a ring. He's stuck on this iso ball type of play that goes completely against his basketball DNA and roots dating back to his coaching days in Europe.
GS ALREADY WON WITHOUT KD AND KD JOINED A 73-9 TEAM. SMH
exactly....better watch what u wish for cuz in theory, we could be more dangerous with "just" a veteran two-way star level typ player at 3 instead of KD the superstar .... lookin @ you J Buckets...anyway, we straight as long as Iggy's knees hold up & we got the Splash Bros & Dray....
People with klay Thompson into the 2019 nba finals Toronto raptors wasn’t winning anything for the big one
Blazers gonna get smoked lmao stop
Houston have to figure out a way to acquire Khawi I have no idea how the logistics would work but they have to find a way, Houston rockets owner if you or any of your team read TH-cam comments this should be #1 on the agenda.
They are great without KD. Especially with getting away with moving and illegal picks
CB is the only real analyst. Golden State bench has always been trash no cap 😂😂
I like how the warriors never won a championship without kd. Worst team in the history of the nba without kd
Harden showed regardless if he refers to his cast or dominate the ball he will choke big moments.
Nick keep up your energy now u saying warriors have to age out what's up with if cp3 played last year gsw lose
it really is not right to say the warriors just play better than the rockets. it is talent wise a mismatch.
