Nobody:
Max: “WITH THE FATE OF THE UNIVERSE IN HIGH LEVERAGE MOMENTS”

[nflmatchuphighlights]

Max: *Yawns

Stephen A: Now here’s why you're wrong

[Swaggythree]

They don’t NEED KD to win the series.
They NEED everyone to play their best.
They missed tons of open shots and played sloppy defense. The Warriors can win this as long as they play their brand of basketball.

[SomPrince]

Isiah Thomas doesn't want Curry winning another ring for personal reasons.

These guys are hysterical! Kawhi is NOT injured. The word being injured. Steph is hurt. Boogie is hurt. Iggy is hurt. Being hurt doesn't count. MJ said that if you are injured, then don't play. If you are hurt, don't bring it up cause it is NOT an excuse.

[josephsolis]

Can someone make a video on all the times ESPN has changed their minds these playoffs?!

[NataxFinal]

They literally won game 2 with half team injured, wtf they are talking about? and they would probably won game 1 if Pascal didnt have the game of his life

[emjg]

Max is seriously something else. Kawhi drops 34 in a losing effort on 40% shooting and misses tons of shots in the 4th: Kawhi is out there giving his all. Steph drops 34 in a losing effort on 44%: He didn't insert himself enough.

Molly: They have a dynasty

Everyone else:

Max "If CP3" Kellerman, always finds another excuse against the warriors

[someguy]

Last week: Steph’s the GOAT, Warriors in 4

This week: Warriors need KD

3 months ago: Fans can’t heckle the players

3 days ago: Drake can do whatever they want.

[gelato]

Isiah is a low key hater of curry always doubting him

[mikewoods]

Nothing new Max. He had those injuries when u was saying he better than Kobe and making Jordan comparisons. Extreme flip flopping

[Nirky]

I humbly disagree. The Splash brothers (healthy) ARE enough to win this series. Having KD available would just be insurance.

[Caraxes_RoguePrince]

Wait huh? Warriors did what they suppose to been did which was win a road game but now people still hating lmao

[kurtgotdahookup]

I still believe in Warriors.. I know they can step it up

[bigdog]

KD been catching hell from the media the last 3 years for signing with GS. But as soon as he get's injured the media has been asking can the warriors winning without KD the last 3 series.

[HLWilliams]

Why are they STILL talking about this. The man has not played but they still won't let it go. Stop disrespecting the players on the court.

[khengkoy]

Technically, they just need to be healthy... KD or not, they can beat the Raptors easily with a healthy team.

[universalnbacaptions]

The warriors keep winning without KD, what the hell is ur problem guys.
