Long live Masai Ujiri.

And about the Bucks... problems are emerging. Just in time too.

I think it's pretty clear you can slow down the Bucks. The Raps, Heat, Hornets, and Lakers all showed this within the last two weeks. It's just matter of scoring enough points against their defence, which while certainly stout also has its flaws - an inflexible stubbornness to pack the paint. All that said, the Bucks are a very good team, a legit contender; I just don't buy them as a historically great team.

OKC win today would be nice. Giannis is out against the Suns. Maybe Suns have a chance but not likely.

The Knicks should sign Kenny Atkinson as they have no stars right now.

If you as a team can shoot 40% from 3 pt range over a 7 game series against the bucks, you will likely beat them

For me, one team is lead by a guy who helped us win a championship.

The other team is lead by a player who has clowned us repeatedly and never respected our team.

It's not a difficult decision for me.

I can't help but cheer for Kawhi. He's just so f'ing good.

Clippers suck though.

Lakers badly need a shot creator, maybe Dion will actually help

AD should just sign with us this summer. Play C and dominate the east. Playing PF in the West is not the best use of his skills.

Dion is not a solution for anything.

I honestly think we could beat both of these teams in a series.

Lakers, definitely. Clippers, probably.

Its worthy to note Allen wasn't mentioned in Kyrie's little diatribe a while ago.

I still like and respect Kawhi, but the players around him are not likable at all. It's hard to root for guys like PG, Bev, Morris, Lou will, Harrell

I wish I had your confidence.

The Lakers and Clips have 2 superstars each, while we have none.

I think we could take 1 or 2 games but winning a series will be extremely difficult.

I only like Kawhi and no one else on the Clips but I do have an extra hate for LeBron.
