Owner GM and Doc have killed this team...
I see they chose not to mention where Klay was "banished" from.
Steph and Draymond still the best duo in the sport over the past 10 years and running shit. 101 playoff wins and counting.
Its time for the new era to step up!!
kinda sad actually..of the new dudes, I like ant to take the baton
Thats not looking good for Dame.. 
Ant needs to have better shot selection and less complaining to the refs...
Blame Doc and the Owner for that...
Asked ChatGPT for an unbiased assessment:
Head-to-Head Comparison
| Metric | Curry & Green (2015–24+) | Curry & Durant (2016–19) |
|---|---|---|
| NBA Championships | 4 | 2 |
| NBA Finals Appearances | 6 | 3 |
| Regular-Season MVPs | 2 | 0 |
| NBA Finals MVPs | 1 | 2 |
| Defensive Player of the Year | 1 | 0 |
Verdict: While Curry & Durant were incredibly dominant in their brief run—securing back-to-back titles and Finals MVP honors—Steph Curry & Draymond Green have outpaced them in every cumulative category (championships, Finals trips, and regular-season/defensive awards) over their much longer partnership. Therefore, Curry & Green are the more accomplished duo when considering only the time they played together.
Dude STFU Glock Rivers handed that city Boston a championship in Boston 2 decades after they last and they just took ANOTHER 2 decades to get another one
Glock Rivers is one of the best coaches of all time.
The guy u thinking about is the dude who flamed out in PHX after having a 2 time mvp on his roster then ran to golden state to win rings off Durant
I think Ant is the most charismatic star in a long time aside from maybe Giannis.
You're not very bright. You cant include the years of 2016-2019 in the Draymond analysis for obvious reasons. You have to partition years of best duo from one another. During the KD years it was he and Steph and this isnt up for debate. Further, invoking chat gpt personifies the generation of losers you are a part of. I pray that shit instructs you to kill yourself one day and you follow it as strictly as you do any else it spits out at you.
Draymond made that shit happen and blew it up but we're just going to wipe those years away from his side, even with KD missing significant time during his Warriors stint
Draymond doesn't get credited with DPOY in this comparison because Durant was on the team??? That's just fucking foolish.
Draymond was like the 8th option during those years
He was a guy. That’s it
He was a guy. That’s it
You're on central time-- Lights out in 32 minutes, right?
He was the #1 defender and the leader of the team, dismissed KD as a bitch, told him "we won before you came here" and kept on winning.
Best duo this decade was
The discussion is best duo.. you fucking hump. DUO!!! BEST. DUO. Any team that has three of those individuals will have KD/SC as the "best" "duo"!!!!!Draymond made that shit happen and blew it up but we're just going to wipe those years away from his side, even with KD missing significant time during his Warriors stint
Draymond doesn't get credited with DPOY in this comparison because Durant was on the team??? That's just fucking foolish.
Jesus you're a fucking idiot.
Interesting how Durant's absence was the least impactful when it came to winning and losing within his moment during the Curry/Green era.
Below is the Golden State Warriors’ regular-season record over the three years Kevin Durant was on the roster (2016-17 through 2018-19), and how they fared in games when each of their “Big Three” was absent.
Overall Record (2016-17 to 2018-19)
- 2016–17: 67–15 Basketball Reference
- 2017–18: 58–24 Basketball Reference
- 2018–19: 57–25 Basketball Reference
Combined (246 games): 182–64 (.739 W-L%)
Summing those three seasons gives a cumulative 182 wins and 64 losses. Wikipedia
Record Without Stephen Curry
Across all regular-season games Curry did not play between 2016–17 and 2018–19, the Warriors went 24–23 (.511). StatMuse
Record Without Draymond Green
When Green was absent from the lineup between 2016–17 and 2018–19, the team’s mark was 24–10 (.706).
Record Without Kevin Durant
In all regular-season games Durant did not play over those same three seasons, Golden State was 27–4 (.871). StatMuse
This really doesnt mean anything. We dont know the games, opponents, conditions, circumstance... if teams were resting, tanking, protecting playoff position..etc.. Means nothing in a analysis on best duo. You keep running from and attempting to reframe the original point of debate.. BEST. DUO.
With KD there the team was simply unbeatable and would have won titles every year but for an achilles.
Doc didnt hand that city shit! Boston was running him out of there before the trade! he was voted worse coach in all of professional sports the year before!! Do you remember that? and then Minnesota(who was being run by Kevin McHale) made a trade with his boy(danny Ainge) and sent KG to Boston; originally; KG was supposed to be traded to Phoenix!! and then Boston made another trade for Ray Allen; that is who delivered a chip; not no fucking Doc Rivers; know your history son...

"if teams were resting, tanking"
Motherfucker, these aren't Babe Ruth era stats. I watched and remember this shit. It is a fairly large sample size and the bullshit you're talking about was not a factor. The Warriors with KD and without Steph were barely a .500 team and tanking had nothing to do with it. I'm not sure they would have won any of those titles without Draymond. I know they'd have won that third year without KD had Klay not gotten injured.
They were watching the game and seeing how terrible the Magic shoot. Wide open shots missed, Wendell Carter Jr attempting mid range jumpers thinking he's Derozan, missed opportunities, etc.
He could not traded Luka without the owner approval!! He might have pushed the trade but the owner had to sign off on it...
My love for the “We Believe” Warriors definitely makes me upset Denver did that. Terrible. Turrible
