Zubac was out there, so I don't think Adelman had a choice.

There's always a choice my friend.

Other than KG in Minnesota, I've never seen a worse GMing job.

Look up what Elgin Baylor put around Elton Brand until Dunleavy came.

That was.....PTSD worthy

I don't remember what it was like when he was younger, but old man Batum is an absolute menace on the backline. He's getting older, but one of the few wings in the league that can do real center type stuff on defense.

Kawhi 6/6 on basically all tough contested middy's. Guy breaks the analytical model

Looks like Ty put the pressure on Murray and will continue to do so. Kinda mean if he’s sick ..

To be fair, it's quite a dopamine crash from Jokic.

DAJ existing on the court.

Jokic on the bench.

Kawhi on fire.

Game 2 Harden on the bench.

Perfect recipe for a lead vaporizing. Like New Orleans gumbo.

Don’t worry. When Norm comes back Denver can start a 12-0 run

Norm has the face and body of an honest auto shop mechanic.

MPJ just casually knocking an uncontested rebound out of bounds lol
You’d think these guys would pick up the intensity when Jokic sits but it’s the opposite. Pathetic.

Baylor was trash but I never know how much Sterling is to blame. Hard to win with an owner who flat out wants to keep spending at league minimum.

We hardly ever see it but I dont take any body in the league over healthy Kawhi. From a scoring standpoint he has no weakness which is impressive considering how raw he was when he came into the league.

Why do Lue still have a job? He is not a good coach. The only reason why he won a championship was because of LeBron James without him he wouldn’t have won jack. He should be in the hot seat this year.

I mean, I agree. But at the same time, Baylor seemed content to just get paid to do nothing.

Dun got Sterling to spend.

Happy MPJ is getting involved. Needs confidence.

Watson did a great job defensively on Kawhi. Lol Clippers role players are like 10% shooting this series

Definitely. Jokic is average compared to him

Elton Brand isn't quite on that level, so it feel less tragic to fail at surrounding him. It's a good pull though, Elton Brand was forced to subsist on a diet of dog water for the entire prime of his career.

Fun parallel with KG is they both got the old man Cassell boost for a season.

Please play Jordan or Cam over Bogi and Powell

Hell, even Patty

Who wins?
