Are the Warriors better without Kevin Durant?
First Things First: Cris Carter and Nick Wright yes
warriors neva needed dat cupcake thas why he joined em... thas why he a hoe
yes If nobody is going to say it I will. Everyone needs to get real. This run by the Warriors makes KD's decision to join the Warriors look EVEN worse! Before it was bad enough. He joined the team that beat him and joined the greatest team in NBA history (73-9). They do not need KD they never did and this is actual PROOF they are better without him. He was just extra frosting on a cake with plenty of frosting. If he wins a title this year all three of his titles will all be empty titles with no pressure and adversity. Come on how much pressure do you have when you have Steph, Dray, Klay, Iggy etc. The Warriors WON with the same team WITHOUT him. Lebron's 1 title in Cleveland is worth 100 X more than all of KD's three titles combined in Golden State. There will be an asterik next to KD and these titles in the record books as people will just say " yeah but" . He needs to win by actually going to and carrying a team that sucks or is mediocre at best when he gets there. Oh and I'm not a Lebron lover Mic drop...
First Things First: Cris Carter and Nick Wright they was 73-9 without him so 🤷♂️
Manicci Luxury Auto Styling you can’t be the greatest team in nba history and lose the championship after being up 3-1. Stop it the 72-10 Bulls are the greatest team for one individual season. Also Both the 91-93 bulls and the 96-98 Bulls 3 peated. The warriors still haven’t even done that once, Gtfoh!
CC said it best...”Warriors know how to win games.” 💯
Trueeeeeeeee
They do? Lol lol
No KD THO?
It’s stupid they think the Warriors can’t win without durant. they’re playing excellent right now and are playing like their old self. They play perfect basketball.
Did you even watch the video? They said the Warriors can win without Durant!
matchup wise, the bucks have the tools to take warriors out
Their old self got beaten by the cavs in the finals after going up 3-1.
All 3 of them said they believed the warriors could win it all because of their un-gaurdable system, plus their extensive experience...
@@therealestmc85
That 2016 ring cavs got was from A.Silver. If you only know real basketball. SMH
Nick's face when Chris speaks about Warriors inherent greatness. Hahahaha. I dont think Nick understands what 'team' means either.
I always wonder how he became a sport analyst... Hes not objective at all... And I think LeBron pays him for public hype
GSW NEVER NEEDED KD THEY JUST NEEDED HIM OFF OKC
They also wanted him to help them deal with Bron. That's about it.
Wrong they needed him against Lebron !
Mariano Laboriel they didn’t need him against lebron. Lebron couldn’t beat Warriors without league help & injuries.
TheSwagIsBack warriors couldnt beat lebron without love and kyrie missing the WHOLE series
Nick Furious - TRUTH
It was only a few years ago GS won a title without KD. They have a solid bench and the splash bros can go off at any time as shown in G6 Houston
We are seriously still on this KD carp?! 🙄The Warriors are NOT better without him & yesterday proved that. I discussed this on my channel today because I am CONFUSED.
Also it was only a few years ago when they won 73 games and Steph and company choked away the finals. Also Draymond Green immediately cried and begged Durant to come. And who was the Finals MVP twice?
Dude. That cavs team was missing Kyrie and Love. The next year they blew a 3-1 lead.
@@fkillah Lol, the whole FMVP argument, never gets old...bro, the warriors don't need KD, they would've gotten there without him. All he does is steal the show and take away shots from Steph and he's terrible for the flow of the offense. Steph should've won FMVP last year too btw. And yeah, they choked a 3-1 lead but they wouldn't be able to say that if they hadn't have gotten up 3-1 to begin with. They only needed to win 1 game to be champs again and the only reason they lost was because injuries and a suspension. That's no excuse but it is objectively true, they were historically great before KD got there
@@fkillah Not to say KD isn't a phenomenal player because he is, he's arguably the best in the game. With that being said, of course Draymond and the rest of the warriors would want him to come over to join them, who tf wouldn't want Durant to join their team? I just don't think they need him. Not arguing that they're better or worse either, I just don't think they need him. The bench plays better when the ball moves around more when he's out and steph is able to do his thing more.
Nick don’t like nobody unless there LeBron James 🙄🤦♂️🤷♂️
The Infamous JuneBugg
You got that right.
he likes giannis and kawhi
They're
Real talk
T biscuit yeah because they are in a different Conference than Lebron now lol.
That Is Insane. . . Why would you fix a car that drives so great 🤔🤨
xactly! They ALL be trippin and wishful plotting lmao
Nick always trots out scenarios to diminish KD in order to keep LBJ above him.
C N Lebron is above him he a never be better than the Goat.
"diminish KD in order to keep LBJ above him." given that KD was never above him, im confused
Nickkhan802 - we live in the present and KD with back2back finals MVP is the consensus best play NOW, Kawhi, Giannis and Harden next perhaps Steph. LBJ is not top 4 right now. Furthermore legacies get tainted over time and LBJ is on the decline and Nick wants to protect his current and future position. Think I’m wrong, what happens if LBJ and Lakers don’t advance past round1 next year and he has 2 yrs left. Getting older, can’t turn the corner and finish, plus a liability on D. How many of the top4 couldn’t win 3 titles with the whole NBA marketing engine trying to help. Frankly the Lakers want out of the deal but don’t want to loose face and get zero on a trade when LBJ won’t report.
@@cn3460 Low tier analysis. No adjustment for the multiplicity of confounding variables that come with team sports or, even worse tbh, a hilarious lack of any raw stats (box score or otherwise) that even low IQ casual NBA fans would parrot to reinforce their preordained biases.
Nickkhan802 - lots of non sequiturs in your response. Let me guess LBJ’s stats 28-8-7 is your argument. Meaningless when you don’t make the playoffs. What have you done for me lately. As Skip likes to say “He needs more help”. Let me guess you live vicariously through LBJ lavish lifestyle.
KD has always been a luxury for a great team like the warriors, that trio of Klay, steph, and green are comparable to Duncan, ginobly, and parker
Pretty good analogy, never thought of that comparison before...
The warriors are 29-1 with Steph in the last 30 games
u mean with steph n without kd?
What are they in the finals without KD
We are seriously still on this KD carp?! 🙄The Warriors are NOT better without him & yesterday proved that. I discussed this on my channel today because I am CONFUSED.
jeremiah greenwood 1-1
Sports with Nick There not a better team without kd, but they play better basketball system wise.
You got it right Chris. How many playoff games have Milwaukee won? Golden State?
They lost to raptors. They didn’t beat bucks 😅
KD stays and draymond and iggy keep playing the way they have and warriors have another championship next year
Tommy Bain it’s a lock 🔒
everbody stays...6 rings.
DUBS....Don't Underestimate Basketball Superstars.
CC: If they (Warriors) got hot... there's nothing you can do
Nick:
I see Broussard I click
I wish nick would flat out say he doesn’t want the warriors to win
Just like every other LeBron lover out there he wants the Warriors to win if KD doesn't play in the finals that way they can say "See LeBron had no chance, they won the title even without KD". If KD plays though then he and the rest of the LeBron lovers will want them to lose.
Seriously! Like they weren’t supposed to beat Houston period. Then KD went out and it’s was REALLY over for them. Then Portland was gonna give fits. Now they can’t beat Milwaukee. Come on man, this is a championship team. They play great team ball.
itshiho Do you even know how weird you sound?
Are you a Larry Bird Lover?
@ Maybe you can but I can't hear typed words so no. Larry Bird? LOL no but what does he have to do with anything?
Yurugu Killah yung mulah baby 🍼
So... they are implying Toronto is already done? Gtfoh. Kawhi is that man!
right, isa sweep in paul pierce voice
they wont let a canadian team get to the finals
In a week and a half, we can both come back to this post and see who was right. But imho, bucks are in the finals.
Lol I call bucks in 5 kawhi nice but he ain’t Kobe
They're down 25
I haven't really given Chris Broussard his props over the years but I'm giving it to him now. He's the only analyst out there who isn't saying "Warriors can't win without KD in the finals". He knows what he's talking about.
They loooooove interrupting Broussard
They appreciate KD, but they don't need him.
Wow. Chris Broussard really understands basketball. Warriors are gonna win this series even without KD 😁😁😁😁
The REAL question is can the Bucks beat the Warriors if the Bucks had KD! GTFOH Bucks ain't beating Warriors.
Really annoying that they are acting as if it's Milwaukee in the Finals for sure. That's just disrespectful and unprofessional quite frankly.
Andrew Teng Fr tho Raptors In 7
It’s probably because the first game the bucks had against Toronto in the ECF they played terribly all game and then still won in the end. If the bucks win tonight I don’t see Toronto coming back.
But it’s not disrespectful to assume warriors are going to Finals?
lol "unprofessional?" how is analyzing that a team is going to win unprofessional? that's what their job is to do....we can all simply wait for the outcome but then what's the purpose of analyzing beforehand?
The Raptors are finished dude
They need to beat Toronto first.
aka beat Kawhi and some scrubs
@@rp1891 how dare you disrespect Kyle Lowery like that. 😂😂
Challenge completed
I don't know man. The way I see after 2 games in ECF, Toronto is a one-man show. Both the starters and the bench didn't step up -- except for Lowry Game 1. If they lose another at home, that's it, Bucks to the Finals.
@Michael Thompson - Copper Warrior was
Just like Tom Brady past Joe Montana; Kevin Durant can past Jordan if he stays with Warriors an win 6 or more finals MVP and 7 or championships, this what these clowns are afraid of and LeBron James won't even be a footnote.
All I keep hearing is how Golden State is going to lose..then every series they win.
I love watching videos with Nick in it. I get to pause it before it starts and press thumbs dowb.
Having KD is one best option for the Warriors. The reason why the Warriors are playing like how they did before is because they know what to do without KD. They know how to play with or without KD, end of story.
Y’all see Chris’s reaction when nick said he thinks the bucks can win with or without KD😂
They hate Kevin Durant so much 😂😂😂
show respect to kevin looney 😂😂😂
Kevon
Warriors don’t need KD...KD needs the Warriors. Not saying KD isn’t a great, but just stating facts.
The warriors do need Kd sorry dana if they didn't need him why they called him after lebron james, uncle drew and love went to work on them for the chip. Two mvp finals for kd confirms that.
@@DatsjoeYT He makes them unbeatable. No team has a chance with KD playing. Without KD, Milwaukee has a chance, but it's not crazy to believe Warriors can't win without him. They were already a great team before KD.
He doesn't make them unbeatable its just take great teamwork to beat them prime example remember lakers lost to pistons and the Heat loss to the spurs but the thing is that's not the same warriors team that won without him you missing harrison barnes, david lee, barbosa and brandon rush were key parts in that championship. The reason I say that the bucks would beat golden state without kd is that the greek freak would not have to use so much energy on the defense end because kd wouldn't be out there then you have bledsoe playing curry, while middleton against klay, iggy can't guard Giannis he would be in foul trouble. Giannis would have the lebron effect against golden state plus the bucks play defense too and have a bench so you would need kd to offset Giannis.
@@DatsjoeYT Technically the only reason I believe the Cavs won that year was because Draymond got suspended due to LBJ. LBJ knew that the only way to stop the warriors is to get rid of the main defensive player which is Draymond and also Bogut was hurt too I think. So imagine if they was there i believe the warriors would of won that one. Not the saying that LBJ team wouldn't win the series but they was 3 to 1.
Maybe true but you got to remember LeBron and Delly took the warriors to six games without Kyrie and love
Did the Bucks won the series? Last time I checked the series is 1-0 🤦♂️
😂😂😂 You didnt know its a best of 1 series now bro
Toronto should be expected to capitulate until they prove otherwise.
2-0
Sadly Toronto wilts in the playoffs.
@@whobitchthisiz7966 lol
Never seen the league want one man off a team so bad *cough* KD💯
I see that the sports media is determined to break this warrior team up. And they think KD is the weakest link mentally.
Y'all just ignoring Kawhai...ok.toronto done?
dla brooknaum straight facts they been doubting kawhi all year long I hope Toronto win the chip
The eagles won a bowl without Carson Wendy’s, does that mean Carson needs to leave and prove he can qb another team to a chip on his own? The argument KD has to leave if he the warriors win without him is stupid. 🤦🏽♂️
People don't like to talk about lebron getting swept in the finals
Or losing to the Warriors three times
He lost lol he beat them too
People dont talk about Kyrie and Kevin love being injured in 2015 and LeBron still took them to 6 games LOL
@@izzyizaiah58 people bring that up all the time but dont talk about how in 2016 he lucked up against a injured warriors and barely won in 7
Dont forget queen James got swept twice in the finals
Or nobody talk about how the ref saved gsw last year in game 1 turning over a call? Lbj was rocking them cats by himself
If I’m KD with my brain, I’m staying as long as possible, I’ll try to win ten rings, let media talk, that’s there job
KD didn’t accomplish anything before the warriors bro, he needed THEM, not the other way around....
With KD the Warriors have a healthier Steph Curry. . . without Steph gets banged up more
O'n K'ng good point
Finaly someone is convince gsw have a chance to win championship without kd ,at the beginning almost says they cant beat rockets without kd then blazers without kd now their making their arguments different,insane...
Richard Tubal They wouldn’t have beat the Rockets without KD the whole series though. That was the first playoff series ever lost by 6 points or less in each game.
The way he just dissed nick wright to his face was applaudable lol
In Broussard we trust! 💪
Also, thank god the Warriors exist and have won 3 out of the last 4. If Lebron had won 4 straight, that's all I would have to listen to for the rest of my life. Sheesh, that's depressing to think about.
Why aren't we talking about Curry's legacy if the Warriors win the finals without Durant?
after winning league MVP and a championship, the narrative was that Warriors got lucky that the Cavs were injured
Next season they win 73 games and Curry wins unanimous MVP....Warriors dominate first half of the finals before a significant suspension and injury.....Cavs come back and Win - Warriors sign Kevin Durant.
Warriors win back to back but the narrative is that they couldnt have beaten Lebron without Durant...
If the Warriors win this year without Durant....I expect the narratives from years past to be erased a 100% vindication of Steph Curry.....Steph Curry - 4 Championships in 5 seasons.
Steph has to win a final MVP in my opinion. He's disappeared himself in the finals a few times.
@@jasonjones8938 He was robbed of MVP in 2015....It was extremely close between him and Durant last year, he should have won it....He was the best player on the court in 2 of the 4 games (Durant/Lebron split the other 2 games) and he scored over 40 in the closeout game.
Steph Curry's Finals averages:
2018: 27.5 pts, 6.8 ast, 6.0 reb
2017: 26.8 pts, 5.4 ast, 8.2 reb
2016: 22.6 pts, 3.7 ast, 4.9 reb
2015: 26.0 pts, 6.3 ast, 5.2 reb
That's elite
Steph is going to win finals MVP this year, they stole it from him last year because he had 1 bad game
@Iso UNGUARD able why? top 5 offense and defense, best record in the league, MVP on their team...Bucks will be the best team the Warriors have ever played.
Milwaukee hasn’t even won yet! 😂
The Warriors play phenomenal fundamental basketball
This is madness, what evidence do we have to assume that the Milwaukee Bucks would win a best of 7 series versus the Golden State Warriors?
ybeprez I think even without Durant, they’d beat the bucks in 6 games.
Nick picks everyone but the Warriors shake my head.
So has Milwaukee already won the series? There only up 1?
3-0 Blazers already, they are smoother without KD anyway. Warriors is going to take the title with ease.
The warriors won 73 games won a title before kd even joined
73-9 and they lied
Actully that team is runned by jerry west thwy dont need durant let thw big 3 be great on thwre own
3-1
Man c'mon if they didn't have kd they would only had one ring instead of three ppl forget Curry and them called kd after Cavs beat them.
73-9 AND STILL BLEW A 3-1 LEAD.
The same haters that have been wrong time and time again about the Warriors still hating.
I like Chris he's smart I'm telling everybody the samething the Warriors are not losing in the finals to the Milwaukee Bucks I just dont see it
KD never had any business being on this team and ppl are being reminded of that...he has the cheapest rings in NBA history
Agreed. Like Steven A said it was the weakest move by any superstar ever.
Jean Louis Exactly. Idk who these commentators think their fooling, like we didn’t already know the Warriors were great without him and he took an easy way out.
he robbed us of a legendary warriors vs cavs rivalry. they were so evenly matched before.
@@ozzee5094 Agreed. But I will add that OKC wasn't that far off either they were one piece away with both KD and Westbrook.
@@ozzee5094 That's honestly the biggest travesty. They were split 1-1 and the tie breaker was gonna be amazing, but then kD joined 💀
KD leaves, GSW got a monster rebounder in return and boost the bench. Game over.
The media trying to poison the Warriors like they did the Celtics
How is Nick Wright still on TV? Milwaukee beating the Warriors WITH Durant?
Chris Broussard is the only analyst who sees different angles and offers another side against what others say. Everybody (especially SAS & Barkley) says Warriors can't three-peat without KD; this group says it's possible.
Broussard had been the only analyst actually analyzing. And what I don't get is, usually people pick the champ until the champ gets beat. Right now people are choosing the Bucks when they haven't accomplished anything! They've never been there!!
Exactly!!! Great point!!!
GSW was winning before KD showed up. KD joined up anyway. I say he stays in GS.
Chrmngblly me 2 why leave they can win at least 3 more titles
Broussard the goat!
get my mans chris a show already
Facts!
it doesnt matter if kd is still sidelined or not, the warriors have a
confidence that no other team has; besides they wont be missing kd's
points since curry and thompson, and looney by the way, 6 of 6, will be
filling in; the blazers were not tired, they lack confidence, they're
thinking ' we cannot make it', and i really doubt neither the bucks have it
Alessandro Tartoni doesnt matter huh? Ehats your new excuse?
@@jontrellolando you're right i overestimated the warriors, or rather, i underestimated raptors' willingness to win; but dont forget that without thompson's injury it would have been much tougher for our raptors, because yes, i'm a raptors fan and after game 5 i was really afraid we wouldnt make it
1st game of the NBa Finals will be on of the BEST in the Finals , because it will be a fightt for every position !
If the warriors win the title this year without kd he needs to go
They already won a title without K.D
Chris has to be my favorite analyst!
Bum media thought Milwaukee were going to the final 🤣🤣🤣
I know right, I watched this last week and my mind was blown when they already placed milwakee in the finals. Raptors will have be on point to beat the warriors though
Yea I hope kawhi gets revenge an takes down the warriors.but they have to slow draymond down
These 3 are casual fans. Why should KD care what they think of his legacy? And why do they get to determine it? Legacy should be determined by respected journalists and former players/coaches.
This panel was actually making sense til the last 2 minutes.....
The Bucks have never faced the best backcourt in the world before in a 7 game series. Also, why is everyone discounting experience?
They're greatly discounting experience. That's exactly how the Blazers beat the Nuggets (who I feel are the better team talent-wise) and how the Warriors stole yesterday's game from the Blazers, which they should've lost.
Experience is just as important as talent and continuity are, maybe more so because it's most important in the most critical moments.
@@Saxandfifths exactly.. people greatly underestimate the importance of experience in sport..especially in finals
at .8 seconds in, the disrespect on Toronto is real.
Haha talking like the Raptors bucks series already a done deal, what's up now homie
you should include in your discussion the situation during the 2016 championship series. the suspension of dramon green in game 5. the momentum is not t always stable.
Not to take anything away from the Bucks.. They are a very good team but they are no exception. If you want to be the champs you first have to beat the champs. I haven't seen enough out of them to say they'd beat the Warriors if they do play them in the finals, KD or no KD. Great chemistry with their starters and role players as well as experience sets the Warriors apart from these other teams.
Barring any more injuries, Warriors would win in 5 against the Bucks...
Just one show I'd like for Nick to be able to finish a thought without being interrupted.
Not possible with Cris Carter
I agree with Chris 💯 Warriors without KD are slept on
Everybody always seems to say “Kevon (pronounced “Kevin”) Looney, (corrects self) Kevon (pronounced correctly) Looney...”
Why do they keep saying Milwaukee?
Is Chris Broussard the only person on TV who knows basketball
CC knowledge on basketball is pretty good for a former FB player. Intelligent man, well spoken, and does well on this show.
KD stopped Lebrons Dominance. The Media has hated him every since.
Im very distracted by Nick’s hairstyle today
If the Blazers go all out the next two games, I can see the Warriors winning in 4
the 3-1 loss on thew GSW was without draymond green in the final game.
So its not bad on their resume against Irving, Lebron, and Love.
I can remember KD did not win a championship until he came to warriors.. so tell me who need who...not saying KD is not a great player, but we forget that it takes a team to win a championship and KD found a great team not a one man show to help him win a championship..how people forget..warriors is great team
This was the warriors toughest series so far, they trailed every game and barely won any game.
They went to the wire, and even overtime.
Even though it was won in four, this was tougher then many 7 game series, it was very vewry close.
Hats off to portland.
0:53 that lady definitely got shocked by the sudden rise of the tone.
If they win the title without him lol that wouod be devastating cause everyone will say that he didn’t earn those two rings at all at all
To be the champs you have to beat the Champs. The hearts of Champions
Agree with you on that 💯
Nick “bron” Wright stays saying bs about KD. He is so bias when he analyzes KD. It’s beyond obvious & sickening
How is a loss in the championship worse than losing in the 1st/2nd round for the 8 years of your career?
Or even missing the playoffs entirely?
What odd narratives , how come it appears to be better to lose before you get to the finals , rather than get to the final and lose?
Let’s go Warriors!
How is Nick Wright still on TV? I have never once heard him make a valid or unbiased assessment of any player or team.
I don't think I would favor the Warriors without KD to win over the Bucks BUT they would definitely have a chance.
love chris bc eventho teams lose, he doesnt disrespect them.he is just being neutral and still could criticize
Look at how much experience the warriors have in the past 4 to 5 years. I wouldn’t be surprised if they swept the bucks in the playoffs without KD. Give Step and Klay their respect. The finals are a different animal and the bucks should never be favored against a championship team like the warriors.
