    GS looked tired in the 3rd. They play at a very fast pace, which works great when you have a deep bench...... but not on the road with no bench.

    That is my fear. I want SA in the playoffs.

    When they reported Kawhi might not return this season I had flashbacks of the last time they tanked for the No. 1 pick, and fear of history repeating itself.

    I am fine playing Pelicans, Nuggets, Clippers and Timberwolves (without Butler). Think we would do any of them in 5 or 6.

    I don't want Spurs, Thunder and Jazz.

    He’s not better than Sabonis.

    Wow. Looking at vids of both of them now. It's hard to tell. Sabas was ridic. good as well. I honestly don't know.

    Man is Julius Randle a young Paul Millsap? And we coulda had him
    at the deadline for what looks like a late 20s pick?

    LAL is housing the Cavs right now. Randle with 30. Brandon Ingram isn't even playing (though his dinner jacket-with-t-shirt game is strong). Ball's not in the top 6 of scoring for them. And they're up 21 with 5 minutes left.

    If the lakers hold on to Randle and land PG and James could we go after Ingram? I don’t really like him but that’s some serious length in our frontcourt with him at SF.

    Cleveland is going to have to really sell LeBron on the future of the team.

    Is this the year we finally see a finals without LeBron? And the playoffs without the Spurs?

    I still think the Spurs make the playoffs. They just don't get out of the first round.

    Looks like Hassan Whiteside is having dinner at CJ’s tonight. Wonder if he regrets not signing with Portland seeing us as the 3rd seed. Who knows what the butterfly affect would have been but he’s the perfect center in our defense, his offensive game has come around too.

    What happened to the Cavs? What is this team morphed as the Cleveland Cavaliers?

    We don't know that Randle was available for that.

    Exactly. If he was then he would have been moved.
