Willie Green has a championship ring. I don't care what the circumstances surrounding that ring are, I'm enraged and my night is ruined.

Looked straight shook in half number one but he settled down and got some buckets around the rim later. He ISO'ed maybe once or twice the whole game, he generally played within the team concept.

Defensively he didn't look glaringly bad at all he looked like he belonged and he attacked the glass effectively. B is my grade on his game considering it was his first run against the best team in conference.

I have all my angles ready for the season, so get your foes list ready if you don't wanna read them ad nauseum all season long. Too many to post, but they shall include the likes of:

-Ben Simmons being a better shooter than Jaylen Brown.
-Kyrie Irving not being a winning player and only won because of Lebron, and can't handle being "the man" on his own team.
-Kevin Durant not being a true champion.
-Fultz being the most impressive rookie in the NBA by far.
-JJ Redick being the best shooter in NBA history.
-TJ McConnell being the 2nd best defender in the NBA... behind Embiid.
-Celtics being the worst defensive and rebounding teams in NBA history.
-Jayson Tatum being too slow to make it in the NBA and being a horrible athlete.
and more

And all will be backed up with my own homemade metric system!

Can I get some references to Kevin Durant being limbless reptile? If so I can **** with all this.

Sure, as long as I get to compare Brandon Ingram to Jack Skellington.

Honestly, since they already have the gear out there they should go ahead and do the ring ceremony for next year. It would save everyone some time and money.

Might as well. Our tank ends and the era of multiple super teams begins, sounds about right.

Their 2nd team is in and Swaggy just hit a 3 as well.

Tatum looked pretty good. I can see him averaging 14-16 ppg. He can rebound and shoot. He’s going to o get lots of minutes with Hayward out now.

I think the Sixers will peak at the perfect time, in 2-3 years when the Warriors have to finally make some tough decisions with their 4 stars. In a perfect world, we steal Klay from them in 2 years when Bayless' and Okafor's contracts are off the books.

TOs and O-Rebs of Rox, in short, extra opportunities. cost GSW the game.

Was a big part of it, but biggest cause was the Draymond Green injury imo. With Andre Iguodala out already they were forced to play both Shaun Livingston and Patrick McCaw in crunch time against Houston's super small ball lineup. Iguodala and/or Green would have made the difference on the defensive end.

In both Celtics - Cavs and Rockets - Warriors it was clearly visible that it takes some time to get back into rhythm, lots of ISO ball and missed defensive rotations.

They were handling their business, until Draymond Green went out with a knee injury.

Prevailing theme is teams will be heavy to switch screens that leads to the rise of ISO players that has length to defend multiple positions.
