Best team we have had in a long time. I honestly thought last year team would see similar success. ...
Was about to post something to this effect. No matter what happens from here on out, this team has really provided some amazing memories in these eight playoff games. It's been magic so far, and no matter what happens the rest of the way, nothing can take away Dame's shot to close out OKC or this four-OT win.
This is exactly the type of grit and grind we need if we're eventually going to surpass the Warriors.
Yeah, but the fact that we could have tanked and been in the lottery is kind of a bummer. Green font, in case you’re extremely obtuse.
This is amazing experience. Its one thing to get into the Playoffs and get blown out like we did the last two years. Its another to get in and play deeper and well-contested matches for a lot of them against two different contrasting teams. It makes me so hopeful of our future with Nurk. The remaining pieces like our bench and such is a mystery but I have to think Dame, Nurk and CJ if we decide to keep him can help us against a lot of teams. Especially Dame with his leadership
This team has a lot of the feel to it of the Billups/Hamilton/Prince/Wallace/Wallace team to me. Not in the personnel or style, but the chemistry, grit, and intangibles. The whole is greater than the sum of the parts.
I know one thing...we need to give Kanter some sort of break for his shoulder. We can’t afford to lose him this post-season.
