Draymond Green: “I once won a championship where Kyrie Irving and Kevin Love got hurt in the NBA Finals. Do I think we still would have won if they didn’t get hurt? I do believe so, but we’ll never know. That’s just the nature of the sport we play… so you can’t [only] take the good”

  1. I made a post with Curry’s similar comments that’s on the front page now but rewatching that, I believe he was referencing these comments that Draymond made first.

  2. Surprisingly measured take from dray. Not taking out my pitchfork for this one 

  4. Heartbreaking: the worst person you know just made a great point

  7. Dray is an example of a guy whose behavior on the court is so unforgivable but when he speaks off the court I actually respect the dude. Kind of a mind fuck tbh

  8. This is all Pacers fans needed to say the last two years and the argument would be over. Instead they went the other way.

  10. Fans are always gonna talk about what ifs but I’ve never heard a Warriors player use injury as an excuse or to take away from the winning teams glory. 

    People like to say the warriors have been lucky over the years with opposing teams having injuries but most of the years they’ve lost in the finals, lost in the playoffs lost play ins or missed the playoffs they’ve had major injuries too. 

  11. Counter-point: The league is going to want to rethink letting the playoffs be a no-holds barred cage match after injuries to Curry, Tatum, Donovan, LeBron, Isaiah Jackson…

  12. The injuries to Kyrie and Love are why I don’t question the bizarre events that led to our 3-1 series comeback the next year

  15. He’s right. We probably win either way but you can’t say for certain. Definitely made it a lot easier

  18. For every Kyrie/Love injury in 2015 there’s a 2019 everyone but curry injury. The great teams are the ones who turn those “lucky” years into championships

  20. He’ll retire one day, then he’ll keep saying stuff like this and his constant attempts at outright hurting people will be forgotten by you guys

  22. “People keep asking me what I would do if I didn’t win, I guess we’ll never know”

  23. LeBron took them to 6 games with delladova or however you spell his name. They certainly would have lost

  25. Cavs should have won in 2015, but Warriors should have won in 2016, so I’m fine with how it all went down

  26. Hypocrit man, this dude has harped on the ’19 Raptors Championship for the exact same season for years.

  27. Yes, all Ive heard is them whining “injury merchants” and “hospital team!” because the Pacers beat the teams in front of them

  31. Don’t forget undercutting Kawhi when they were getting mud stomped in the first game at home.

  33. You also lost a championship where Kyrie and Love weren’t injured so you turned on cheat codes and called Durant.

  34. Not at all. Cause they got handled in the following finals. People act like dray being suspended one game was the difference but it really was kyrie stepping up and going off on curry.
