Yup... the dude is thriving with Joker.

He always was a good player he just needs to be your 3-4th guy not your 1-2 that we tried to turn him into


Exactly, but he is a LEGIT 1-2 like Joker and Murray and perhaps a legit 3 like MPjr as well, not what we tried to roll out in Vuc and Fournier. That isn’t meant to be knocks on them, they are who they are and they played their hearts out for us; they just aren’t MVP caliber dudes.

I’m happy for AG finding his groove.

At least Fournier, Ross, Bamba, and AG are still in the playoffs. Vuc just missed again.

But are they really??? Or are the teams that currently for some reason pay them still in the playoffs? — that most of all applied to Bamba.

Nba is so **** annoying. Regular season means absolutely nothing anymore. Just sit all your players as long as you make the playoffs. There is no parity.

Kings are a young team and Fox is still injured. Taking the Warriors to 7 is a good stepping stone.

I actually think there is parity. But more importantly, the adage... experience and skill beats youth and talent... still comes true with LA and now GSW.

A team from California will win the whole thing. Should have placed my bet in October.

I am really hoping Denver pulls it out. Would be an excellent message for a small market team that built it right.
Fine print disclaimer for Fultz:
I am high on Markelle Fultz. Yes I understand he is not perfect and needs to shoot more and better and turn the ball over less. I would really like to see him play one more year… and I did and he sucks time to move on.

I am thankful we are building a team that should start to peak in the next couple years hopefully Lebron Curry and Durant are starting to lose a step because damn I don’t know how you compete if Curry is going to do this kind of stuff

Oh dont get me wrong. I prefer it if DEN wins... but cp3 run to the ring? Kd's dominance? Booker's prime?

Shame they have a softie at C facing an mvp-contender...

But DEN won't get that hot at the 3pt land for the entire 7game series.

It looked like the entire Boston team was terrified of shooting the ball at the end of game 1. Not sure why there is play call for Smart....Harden turned back the clock for a night.
