OKC has so little nuance to their offense. No off ball movement, no weakside action, very little passing. Pretty pathetic.
I think that I am a Warriors fan for the rest of these playoffs. They play the most exciting basketball out there - and if we lose to anyone, might as well be the eventual champs.
I expect Pops to visit the Blazer practice facility now and then since he'll be spending part of the time at his winery in Oregon once he retires.
Now that we're out of it, I want the Raptors to win a championship just for those die hard fans and the fact that I like the underdog championships
Agreed. I do want to see Bron win another though. Hard to believe he's only won 2. This year would be his 7th appearance
This from SpursTalk.com: "I was fine with the Aldridge signing as a 2nd or 3rd guy in the system, as a 3-point shooting stretch big that fits in to what the Spurs already do.. Now, some of you will say that you can't play the same style with a declining Parker and Ginobili, which is true, but that's on RC Buford and Pop more than anything..some of you will stupidly claim that you can't build around Kawhi in the same system, but the Spurs did it last year and had a top 3 team in the NBA when healthy, statistically.. Building your entire offense around a career loser, a volume scoring, inefficient big that routinely chokes in the playoffs is going to set the team back for years, especially since they won't move away from Parker..you hurt your best role player that you just signed to a long-term deal, gutted the bench, and became easily guardable vs. playoff defenses, even against a mediocre defensive team like OKC.. Carmelo Aldridge is one of the biggest playoff chokers in the NBA, as many of us have repeated, all season..he will give you a couple of hot games in the playoffs vs. mediocre defenses, but he won't show up when it matters..he's a poor passer, an average defensive player and an OK rebounder..mentally, he's one of the softest big men I have ever seen.. The audacity of the posters in this thread to cite the Spurs' record in the weakest Western Conference in 20 years"
LMA truly is an amazing player, it took him 9 years to be hated in Portland. Only 1 year in San Antonio.
