    Harden just said that they need to improve next season. Probably need to add 2-3 more superstars lol

    I have to credit Durant, played every minute of games 6 and 7. Left it all on the court.

    Milwaukee surprised me. Thought they were goners.

    Why does everyone fill sorry for players that shoots one third the team shots and don't play no defense can someone come up a good reason. Maybe they don't dominant the ball so much and go iso 90 percent of the time without passing the ball maybe and just maybe they have better chance of winning. Really I don't fill for them what fill sorry is to the rest of the team.

    Funny, I feel the opposite. I guess I'm a commie. Watching a team work as an organic whole, where the ball zips around is much better than hero ball.

    Of course I enjoy it when it's Lillard, but I enjoyed the one game we won when he scored 10 points more than the one we lost when he scored 55.

    Then why were you rooting for the Bucks? Their offense was just give it to Giannis at the top of the key, or Khris Middleton create a midrange jumper.

    Because he is supposed to be the DPOY. PG was actively seeking out Gobert on the switch also.
    Of course blame is shared but when you essentially get paid for your defense and are actively getting targeted because you can’t defend, that is a problem.

    And Conley played 1 game.
    Mitchell was CJ-esque in his defense though.

    I have a hard time believing that there is an NBA player with worse defense than CJ. He's So horrendous and lazy on that end you cant watch it

    Did you watch the game?
    He was worse than CJ, probably because he couldn’t move on one of his ankles but he was literally not contesting shots. At least CJ pretends to try.

    Dammit, I'm sure Olshey was so close in winning this.

    Cousins is probably one of the guys you can not go against with a centerless team.

    I’m surprised he didn’t. Listening to his press conference you would have thought he was easily the best executive

    Remember when Phoenix got TRASHED in the draft when they took Cam Johnson? I think everyone gave them Fs for that off-season. Turns out Jones knew a thing or two about team-building. This reminds me of Dumars putting that Pistons team together - not looking for stars, just what would fit the best. (Yes, yes, a lot of it was getting CP3, but they went 7-0 in the bubble with Rubio before that.)

    It wasn't so much rooting for the Bucks as against KD.
