There's no compelling reason to believe that without Durant a 73 win team couldn't win the Finals the following year.
I know that most sports fans are obsessed with drama, and inflate the significance of a short series, where the role of chance is greatly increased, far beyond what it really means, but the fact is that Warriors had two of the greatest seasons in history in 2014-15 and 2015-2016, without Durant.
