Went 7 without him, would GS of got to the 2nd round with him there or without him there it gave green a chance to shine.

DeAndre Jordan did go nuts without Bogut there.

You can look at it other way though. Would green of been so good without him there. That's a question mark.

Also, the Warriors offense was flowing pretty damn beautifully by going small. That would have also changed, and allowed Jordan to stay closer to the rim and challenge more drives.

A healthy Bogut is probably their second most important player. This isn't like throwing some random 7+ footer to help with DJ. He's a game changer.

That's like saying if LeBron was injured for the Heat and was replaced by Beasley playing more minutes would he have played so well. You don't trade off an impact player for a slightly improved player off the bench.

Bogut has one of the highest defensive rankings last year iirc.
And if you watch our games, the question shouldn't even be asked.
BTW David Lee was forced to play 5 and spent most of his energy playing defense.

DeAndre Jordan dropped 25/18 in game 4, I believe it was.


We would have won that game and the series with Bogut, no doubt.

You said in your first post: "DeAndre Jordan did go nuts".

So how did their style change for the better?

They went more small ball which only helped guys like green. I'm not saying warriors don't win this series with bogut but point is its a fair question

Helping guys like Green doesn't equal helping the team win though. It's like you're arguing that Green's improvement is as important as Bogut's immediate presence which is weird.

No I'm just trying to see it from both sides. I think if bogut can stay healthy GS could go real deep this year.

That was game 5.

Game 4, DeAndre went scoreless (0-1) and grabbed 6 rebounds.

He's always been a bit injury prone, even on the bucks.

Without a shadow of a doubt.

Only reason clippers won was warriors had no resistance inside.

Warriors really need to stay healthy. With their talent there is no reason why they can

Hard to say, tbh.

If Bogut was replaced with, let's say, Amir Osik - a lesser player in the same mold than I would say without a doubt.

However, putting Green in there changed the whole dynamics of the series and put the Clippers in an uncomfortable situation vs. a suddenly unconventional team.

Either way it would have been incredibly close IMO.
