They needed 7 games to beat Houston. They aren't as indestructible as most seem to think. They aren't going to get any better.
KD isn’t going anywhere until the run ends in 3-4 years and that’s only if he wants to go back home
The main reason the Houston series went 7 was because Iggy got hurt. The Warriors keep finding productive draft picks and will always be a destination for veteran players through this run.
Boston was 1-2 against the Lakers and 2-0 against the Rockets
The hard part for GS going forward IMO is that Durant green and curry all seem to be pretty eccentric. Having three of those types of personalities could really lead to issues as the years go on. We've already see durant cry like a baby that nobody loves him. There has been discussion about internal issues on this team and how it could have derailed a run. Who knows. They may implode before anyone really beats them.
For better or worse I think they think that all they have to do is turn the switch on in the playoffs. They all have a myriad of off the court interests on top of things. You never know what Draymond is going to do. Steph is going to get hurt at some point in the season. KD is going to do KD things. Klay is gonna Klay.
I tend to think the drama is as much with Kerr, his physical issues, and being able to reach these guys as anything else.
If LBJ goes to Houston that’s probably enough to get everybody back on the same page. The Lakers maybe. If he stays Easy they’ll coast through the season again. Ultimately I think Boston is going to be their biggest challenge and be the end of the Warriors dynasty.
But you’re right, the Warriors don’t give a shit about a throw away January game on the back end of a back to back against a shit Atlanta team. Now, when they may have a national TV game against a legit contender that has some dick measuring aspects to it, they MIGHT care as long as there aren’t injuries, etc going on
