Williams is sabotaging our chances for simply refusing to play some of the guys who got us here. We got Ross for his ability to shoot, yet apparently that was only for the regular season or something.

If we somehow manage to escape this round, I fully expect us to get smoked in the next.

Willams NEEDS to go.

If Ayton has shown any consistency in this league, its his consistency to be unreliable.

Hmmm 75/76 NBA finals had a team that went 42-40 during the regular season

He's always shooting half court shots before games. You play like you practice...

Man that heart-like-a-truck song has to be the single most cornball “country” song I’ve ever heard. Every time that song plays an outlaw country singer loses his moustache
