Chris Carter has an opinion on who is to blame for the Boston Celtics disappointing season, Nick Wright believes the Golden State Warriors are far from being done without Kevin Durant, while NBA players sent their support for an injured Durant.
The Warriors are not finished
The Golden State Warriors beat the Houston Rockets, 104-99, in Game 5 of the Western Conference semis, but they lost star Kevin Durant in the process. Durant will definitely miss Game 6 and Nick Wright believes the Warriors are not finished because of this injury and reminded us that they are 29-4 without Durant in the last three years.
"The Warriors are worse without KD, but can they win without him? I believe the answer is unequivocally yes. The Warriors in the last 3 years are 29-4 without Kevin Durant when Steph plays. To me they're not done without Kevin Durant." — @getnickwright pic.twitter.com/MC9ZXqxszM

Ainge should take a blame
The Boston Celtics’ disappointing season came to an end with a massive 116-91 defeat to the Milwaukee Bucks in Game 5 of the Eastern Conference semis and Chris Carter thinks that there is only one man to blame for this season’s failure.
"The Celtics had awful chemistry, they had their own agendas up and down the roster, horrible leadership, bad coaching and bad management by Danny Ainge." — @criscarter80 pic.twitter.com/IClGQyPTye

Curry took over
Although Stephen Curry hasn’t played well for the bulk of the series, he stepped up after Kevin Durant’s injury and helped his team get a win.
Steph Curry before Kevin Durant's injury: 9 PTS (4-14 FG, 1-8 3PT)
After: 16 PTS (5-9 FG, 2-3 3 PT)
