It seems that even with Beal injured as long as their two main stars are relatively healthy(although KD did miss today’s game) they’re still easily one of the top teams in the West(after all Booker + KD + randoms did take 2 games off Denver last season)
Both Booker and KD have been playing at MVP level recently even if having 2 MVP caliber players makes it hard for either to win the award
It takes an incredible amount of luck to get pass second round. Let alone WCF and Finals.
