    Draymond was correct, they don’t need KD to win another ring.

    What are these fools doing cheering outside the arena? They should go home and cry like proper NBA fans.

    It is pretty amazing dude. Lakers and Chicago Bulls never did this shit. LeBron did it personally in the East from 2011-18 but with different teams.

    The similarities between this series and athe 2019 WCF are striking. You got a team with a HOF #1 option (Dallas' has an easier time to get his own shot) but both Nico/Olshey have failed to surround their #1 guy with the appropriate #2/#3 options to attack a team as loaded as Golden St is.

    I feel like we were more competetive and Dame was worn out after the Denver series.

    Yeah, I'd make a case we were more competetive (minutes led stat would support this) and that our roster was worse than Dallas'. Luka is probably slightly better on his own (due to his size) and we had the better coach.

    We were much more competitive and we were playing Meyers heavy minutes.

    Luka right now feels like early career Lebron in Cleveland.

    Luka is like 23 and carrying a team full of nobodies. Maxie Kleber and Bertrans logging big minutes. I mean when your 2nd and 3rd scoring options are Dinwiddie and Brunson it’s going to be tough. Both are probably better options than Porzingis though who has really fizzled out.

    Relative to age and the rest of roster it’s pretty amazing what Luka has done to get to this point. At some point though I think Luka needs to realize that he shouldn’t be so ball dominant. It looks a lot like we did with Roy. Him dribbling around and everyone else just standing there watching.

    Luka need more help and I bet their owner would do anything compared to our owner.

    I don’t know. He passes better than Roy. Luka created so many threes for his teammates last night and they didn’t knock ‘em down. Bullock couldn’t hit at all. And he’s a good shooter. And at home!
