Do the Warriors win the 2019 Finals if Curry was injured instead of KD? (alien.top)

Let’s say they still make it to the Finals vs Toronto. KD is the one who is injured prior to the series and is later out for the serious after 1 quarter into Game 5. What would the result have been if it were Curry out for that series instead, and a healthy KD-led team took on the Raptors?

With a different coach maybe but Kerr never ran anything that wasn't centered around Steph which is why the only other thing they did with KD was KD iso (and is also why they weren't as good overall with KD on Steph off)

Weird thing to say when KD was averaging like 10 ppg more than Curry on much better shooting up to that point in the series.

nope, Kawhi and Lowry both were on a tear. But if you remember correctly, it did take BOTH Klay and Durant getting injured to seal the deal. So hypothetically, if Klay had stayed fully healthy, it was possible (still unlikely) that they Ws pulled it out

Hard No. Curry IS the system.
