glad the Knicks won even though I overslept because I was up all night for Christmas Eve

I'm surprised San Antonio handled OKC in such convincing fashion

hopefully this Golden State/Dallas game is more competitive, but I hope GS wins because I like Curry

And they got lucky Hali burst his Achilles cuz Indiana was on their way to taking control of that game.
If Gordon could sprint and Maga Porter Jr could lift both his arms OKC wouldn't have gotten out of the second round. Denver took them to 7 with 5 players and one of them was Westbrook :mjlol:

This is why I've said SGA is underappreciated/underrated. He's carrying a massive burden on OKC but he makes it look so easy, he doesn't get the full credit he deserves. Only guy on OKC who can create his own shot or for others at a high level.

It's possible San Antonio's inexperience hurts them in the postseason but they are a bad matchup for OKC. They are just as athletic, probably moreso, plus, they're bigger across the board. OKC doesn't have any big wings. All their guys are besides SGA are 6'5" and under.

Mitch Johnson isn't getting nearly enough credit for his coaching. To have a team this young and this little floor time together on the same page like this is incredible. There was a reason Caruso and Cason Wallace kept finding themselves wide open to brick threes all game.

Yea it’s crazy ppl cry about his shoulder push offs but have given Kawhi and PG a pass for a decade, while ignoring the Kobe/Kyrie bag work he also has.

Honestly, someone like Donovan Mitchell would be ideal for him. Basically same age/timeline and DMitch is perpetually plagued with undersized pgs that can’t perform whereas Shai is plagued with no running mate that can get buckets dolo.

They've had roster changes every year wemby's been there :hubie: playing this well they should be allowed to have some stability, dont wanna ruin the locker room vibes
the locker room will be fine. if u have a chance to get better, u should do it

think of how OKC was crapped on for only getting a washed hayward at the deadline then getting outrebounded in the playoffs by gafford and lively

who knows what would happen if they didnt trade giddey and get hartenstein. No one was worried about "locker room vibes". In fact, the locker room was very happy when they popped champagne after winning the chip


my point is, u can always think of a million reasons not to do something, but if it helps your team and it's not gonna kill your resources, i dont see why not :manny:
