The biggest reason the post-game threads get so long is posters getting dogpiled for saying anything remotely critical about the team.

Ain't nothing changed. We are the best top 6 in the league, but poorly-coached, soft, and a suspect bench. Hopefully, we will be talented enough to survive that. All teams have weaknesses, and hoping ours are not fatal in the real games (which have not even started yet).

The general board has been fun but frankly I'm disgusted by some of your efforts. I'm over there getting flamed for stating the obviously and ain't no body over there backing me up.


I’ll back you up next game haha.

Such a shame that they don't and the Heat now lead 2-1.


Tatum is very good but we will probably have to win a series where he is not the best player on the floor. At least it won't be two series.

I agree. Also Zoya is right. What’s there to talk about if we had a good win. Just give the guys props and wait for the next game. Plus where’s the fun in praising our guys after a win? Lol

I admit. I’m guilty lol.
but, would you prefer to be like other boards with less than 10 pages every game win or lose? That’s **** boring. I like that we have different kinds of posters here.

Yeah, I don't disagree.

But experience is making the Cs better.

The stupidity is mainly from needing more experience.

This bunch, especially the Jays, always went on a deep playoff run even when they were rookies.

Life was easy for them when they were not the 1 and 2 option.

Now that it's their time to lead the way, they're learning what it takes to win in the playoffs.

Next season will be the start of their peak.


I prefer we win it all this year. If we do, everyone will elevate their game even more. Can be a dynasty.


We absolutely need to break through this year. If we don't, younger teams will pass us by. Not sure why it works that way, but it does.

It’s like getting the monkey of the Jays back. If they win one, they will play less pressured the ff season. Confidence will surely go up. Exactly what champions are showing like the nuggets, warriors.
That’s why i don’t buy what fierce1 is saying, that next year is our year. It will just put on an insane pressure on JT if we up losing again.

Voted for Dwhite and JB.
KP played great. I liked that JT had zero turnovers, and tried to take it inside at least and get to the line. Didn’t like his shooting percentage, as well as missing 4 free throws. Defense was a lot better. Played with energy to start. Just win next game!

Will be a new coach, for one.

Do you trade our 1st for Kerr if we lose?

I DO.

The only plausible way Tatum is the best player to start the Finals is if the opponent is the Wolves. Jokic is of course better. And whatever doubts one has about SGA or Luka or hobbling Kawhi being better than him should probably be set aside for this postseason if their respective team make sthe Finals.

I will die on the hill that Tatum is a considerably better player than SGA even though I like SGA a lot. This should not be an unpopular opinion but it is because we've seen Tatum struggle more as he has played in way tougher games that SGA has not even touched before

JB still with the team's highest usage (30.9%). Tatum 2nd at 24.7%. Lowe and co. discussed in their recent pod that it might be the Heat's defensive strategy to have JB handle it a bit more, putting their weakest defender on him (Herro), so he'll be baited to go iso instead of Cs running their more potent sets. At least White's usage went up (21.5%) while Jrue's (9.7%) went down. There was a stretch where White kept getting good shots or assists with him as primary ballhandler. I still think we'd have most success with Tatum and White as primary decision makers with the ball. But good on JB to punish his matchup today. Make Herro work on D as long as he knows when not to force the issue and still look for the open man.

I think Antman is already better than JT. Its just easy for him to score, and has put his team on the back several times. I also like his attitude. That arrogance to go with his skills.
