Any of this "we look like X with Khris, Y without him" stuff as a knock on him is straight bull ****. It was obvious all season that the best version of this team was with him as the connector alongside the top 2, and he showed in the playoffs that he's still got it in him to do more when asked to do so as well.
If you wanna bring up health concerns, that's fair, but from a basketball perspective I'm not trying to hear that nonsense.
Small sample size and all regular season games where teams go through the motions and noone really scouts or game plans much for each other. Slow is slow... you really think we can be that slow at the 3 again and survive against these fast a$$ teams in a series? The health and the slow go together anyways so you can't really seperate those.
We're talking 750 minute and 1000 minute samples respectively, so no, not really down with throwing that out just because it doesn't align with the narrative you're trying to push.
Also you wanna talk playoff series? Khris gave us 25/9/5 in our playoff series and we were
-15.1 point per 100 possessions without him on the floor. Khris was literally one of the only positives in that series, the main reason we even had a chance in that series, and you're in here trying to rip on him lmao.
This dumb "we're slow and old with Khris" narrative you're trying to push doesn't hold up to even the mildest scrutiny. If the team is on the slower older side (it is), you fix the personnel issues that are actual problems, like the one dimensional or washed up role players (Beasley, Pat, Crowder, Bobby, etc).
