    True but my point stands: if a win over the Durant-less Warriors had occurred 3 weeks from now, it'd have been a major accomplishment. As it is, the Durant-less Warriors are still getting used to not having him. Despite what I said in an earlier post, I'm not sure how much of an accomplishment it was at this point.

    They won 73 games without Durant last year. It was an amazing accomplishment for a young team that is basically beating the dog **** out of everyone. We have a squad to be proud of you. Let's not try to find ways to poo poo big wins.

    I was watching with my mouth hanging open in the 2nd as our bench EXTENDED the lead.  When was the last time that **** happened? 

     

    And y'all say what you want about Jason Smith.  In 9 minutes last night he had 8 points, 5 rebounds, 2 assists and was +16. 

     

    For the most part Jason Smith has been getting nothing but praise in this thread since he stopped playing like a fish out of water.

    They were a 46 win team 2 years ago, after being a 44 win team the year before that.  I wouldn't necessarily say that's "clearly on the upswing".  That's marginal year to year improvement.  If you're KD, and you're base level is conference finals, you don't fool around trying to make a mediocre team good.

    And they made it to the second round of the playoffs in back to back years with a very young nucleus of potential star players. I mean, I'm not sure if you're just arguing for the sake of arguing but this will be the third year out of four that they've played pretty damn good basketball. I mean they were a John Wall injury from making the conference finals a short time ago. KD on this team is a championship caliber roster.

    The way people hate on KD for joining GS, you'd think GS actually won the championship.  

     

    What was he supposed to do, go to a .500 team to prove a point to people that don't matter?

     

    The Wizards were a .500 team last year but the two years prior were clearly on the upswing. And I'd say this season is proving they're the team that swept Toronto more so than the team from last year. Durant didn't want to come here for the exact reason they talked about last night during the game. All his family and friends would be bugging him for tickets and other stuff had he played here. It simply wasn't worth the headache to him. I like KD but he should've at least gave us an interview. Maybe he could've seen this team would be a better fit for him but whatever.
