AD won the chip for us. He has built up more stock and credit than that

It was more so a mental exercise if anything. I agree AD has more value because intricately he provides more to the court than Dame at their respective peaks. With AD, it's just so that he's so injury-prone which is my main concern, combined with the fact that he might be fulfilled with his one ring, a max contract, and living in LA. I'm going to pay a closer look at his motivation and desire to win again because we expect more than one ring with LeBron and AD. With Dame, I can tell he always brings it, no matter the environment or circumstances. AD needs to take that next step next season. Get healthy, be our number one guy and give his all each game like a top 5 player does. If he doesn't do either of those 3 I'm worried for our future and our need to look for another number one guy. Something which Dame really is.

Thankfully, their record of futility continues.....but their supporting cast showed up better than the woeful Laker supporting cast.

I feel for the clippers, not really but all the load management was supposed to help them be ready in the playoffs and with a healthy Kawhi, they’d have cruised to the ring.

Similar to what the Jazz did with Conley. Curious what will happen with Mike and Kawhi after this

Almost all... The suns with CP3 and Booker, look poised to be the next NBA Champion... Three things in that sentence make me want to projectile vomit on my screen...

I hope either Hawks or Bucks win the chip this season. But I'm leaning more towards the Hawks. I like Trae's guts.

I like Giannis better than anyone left... I hope he gets a ring now... But if he doesn't play, I'm all in for boss-baby Trae...

He comes off as incredibly down to earth and genuine. Not sure why, but I get a lot of insecure tough guy vibes from Book.
