At first, when you read this it doesn’t right. How can adding a top 5 player in the NBA for Harrison Barnes and Andrew Bogut be a mistake? Ill tell you why. When adding Kevin Durant it seemed like a no brainer. But it took away the shots and chemistry and swagger and depth from a 73 win team that was one shot away from being back to back champs. They breezed through the regular season thus far. But then Durant got hurt, raising a lot of concerns. Steph was struggling and the warriors were losing their grasp on the number one seed…
But then they got it back. Steph has been the Steph we have grown to love over the years. Draymond and Klay are playing their best ball of the year and their bench players are finally getting shots and playing well. They are having fun again. Seeing how well they are playing, 9 straight wins by the way, brings up the question that fans asked before the year. Was it a mistake and why did they dismantle a 73 win team and add chemistry issues and a lack of depth. If they don’t win the title this year, I believe the Warriors would have made a mistake. If they win, none of this matters. But it’s just my eye, but their is a confidence and swagger that they have without Durant because they seem to all get involved and don’t have a question of whose the alphadog….
Should Cavs Fans be panicking?
Not panicking, but they should definitely be concerned. The concern is the lack of effort on the defensive end. It feels like the Cavs are on cruise control until the playoffs, but their laziness might cost them a one seed and even more. They are assuming they can just turn on a switch and just play at a playoff level. But if they don’t snap out of their funk, they could be the first lebron led team since 2010 to not make the finals.
