Of course Kyrie has to go off all series.

It was him and Lebron.

Love was a major part of the problem as is Tristin's contract which is Lebron's fault.

Steph can chill an entire series because he not only has KD, he has Klay, Draymond, Livingston, and Iggy.

Warriors are on another level from everyone with that depth.

And the problem with your theory is, Steph doesn't take series off...he put his work in.
