Also, you act like Curry being the the floor has no effect on what other teams are forced to do defensively. Warriors don't get anywhere close to 73 wins this year without Curry and they sure as hell don't win a championship last year without him either.

I didn't so curry is a bad player or isn't a difference maker. He's an elite player and of course hes important to their lineup. But the Warriors hung tough against a very good Portland team without him. Maybe the blazers pull it off against golden state without curry. But they were good enough to keep it at least close. They are a legit playoff team even without him. The Cavs have repeatedly shown that their team is a complete mess when they don't have LeBron.
It's not a knock on curry. We're talking best on the game here. Trust me, I'm not a LeBron apologist by any stretch. But even if I don't like him that much, I can appreciate how much of a difference maker he is
