Playoff basketball is the worst entertainment out of all the major sports. Garbage product.

These series just alternate between games with one team hitting shots while the other team is not trying at all.

Myles Turner should be on there. Andre Drummond too.

Randle will be our small ball 5, allowing us to move Obi into the starting line up.


If only.

At best, Randle gets 10 mpg as a backup C.
That's if and when they fire Thibs.
Otherwise, it's 48 minutes of the likes of Bamba and Noel.

Mavs fans should give their team a standing ovation after the game. They are not going back here for Game 6.

Warriors are a smart organization. I won't be surprised if they sell high on Wiggins in the offseason and get another stud.

Yeah that's what they should do. Trade him away for a big man, and give Kuminga the keys

Yeah, I know, it seems unlikely. But if Thibs commits to increasing pace and maximizing Randle's abilities (as he mentioned in his exit interview), it's something I think he'll be forced to consider. Maybe in shorter increments as you allude to, but we're not going to be able to move Randle without him showing value, and there's going to be pressure to play Obi from all sides. Something has to give.

He’s the ultimate tease. Every once in a while he has a brilliant game and makes you think he’s finally starting to realize his potential and then he goes back to being trash

We are about $5mil over the cap right now, including pick and Mitch’s cap hold.

That's great.

Thank you guan0 and 3toheadrandle.

I too see value in ruining the lives of Knicks fans.


You are welcome

Of course.

Who's paying up for Wiggins on a $33.6 million expiring contract?
