    I disagree. I don't even think we make it to the WCF with that deal.

    HA! It was just a post saying that Philly is going to have to offer Tobias the $191M max in order to keep him. Blew me away! No way in hell that dude deserves that.

    Tobias isn't eligible for the super max.

    Maybe that’s why that Instagram post is no longer available.

    Watching Bucks & Raps and they are flat out pushing the ball every rebound or in bound pass.
    We have to do more of this next year as it prevents the D from locking in plus players can create thus getting more from wings.

    Kyle Lowry fumbling the ball like that is such a Kyle Lowry thing to happen.

    Hell, Draymond was fucking killing us with that. The thing is, I don't think we have the ability to do this since the Stottsfense has been ingrained into the mental capacities of our star backcourt. Stotts would need to preach this change in the offseason on a consistent basis and I just don't see him or our star players doing that.

    Because Stotts yells run but they don’t run with any sort of purpose. It’s why you see some guys push 1v4 during fast break situations. They don’t actually know how to push properly.

    I’ve heard Stotts yell at the guys to push it I honestly think it the reluctance of player leadership, yes I include Dame.
    Love Dame put he needs to push it a hell of a lot more.

    You would think at some point after playoff failure after playoff failure mostly thanks to the Warriors, these guys would experiment with something else. I feel that at times we can score some easy buckets via transition but they make it more difficult than it should be.

    Kwahi Leonard is the best player of the entire playoffs.

    I think it's a close race between, KD, Steph and Kawhi.

    If I remember, Spurs (with Kawhi) was beating the Warriors, when some dude injured him ... and he never recovered.

    Thinking the Raptors got him for DeMarr ... is crazy. This rental was well worth it, even if only for 1 year. Struck of genius from the Raptor's GM (forgot his name).
