I don't think we had a fully healthy team even once against the Raptors. DDR feasted without Bradley in there, but he'll do a solid job of shutting him down in the playoffs.

It seems like every year, he says something similar and yet, he's ended up in the Finals for six straight seasons.

Probably because hate it or love it he's the GOAT. Look at his on/off this year. It's **** ridiculous. He's playing amazing and looks as athletic as he was 5+ years ago. GS poked the bear last year and got burned.

And after he triumphs, he'll have something to point back to and say "damn, look at all the adversity I had to overcome." The manufactured drama is just part of his all-important legacy-building. Yeah, I admit, I'm salty. I want this dude to retire already. Or better yet, for the Cs to beat his team again.

I'm happy we're closing in on the 1 seed and rooting for it. But, I honestly wouldn't be that sad with the 2 seed and an IND\WAS path to the ECF instead of MIA\TOR path. It's a longshot for the finals against CLE regardless of home court, so the easier path to get to the ECF is pretty attractive.

All that said, heart says go for #1 and shock the world!

No one came close to stopping PG tonight. Don't count your chickens before they hatch .

Never use Brady's name in vain like that again.

I really wanna see this happen again before he retires. I think there's a good chance. Obviously not this year but once he declines alot more and we put more talent on this team. It would be so sweet to see.

We just gotta play solid, try to start the play-offs as healthy as possible and go from there. Fear no one and make the best out of it.

I'd love to face them somewhere in the play-offs. Their 'you are our sons' - anthem could get thrown right back in their face come PO-time and I'd dig that.

Lol. He's not the GOAT. Not even the best player since Jordan. It's like people forget Tim Duncan existed or something.

Yes and No. I think LeBron is more dominant because he has the ball in his hands. But, Duncan doesn't have to apologize.

You're wrong. End of discussion.

Duncan is 5-1 in the finals, beat LeBron twice (and would have beaten him three times had Popovich not completely **** up in Game 6 in 2013) and is one of the best defensive players this game has ever seen and will ever see. His impact on the defensive end is so far ahead of LeBron's that you'd need a telescope to see James. In addition, he is THE model teammate, something LeBron never has been and never will be.

I'm sorry, but this shouldn't even be a discussion right now. Duncan is better than LeBron. If LeBron wins another title or two, then we'll talk.

People believe LeBron is better than Duncan because of media narratives being shoved down their throats.

I'm with you, dude. I've never been able to stand the guy and my disdain for him grows by the minute. Anyone who has "Chosen One" tattooed across his shoulder blades is a massive narcissist.

I'm so tired of seeing him in the Finals its sickening. What sucks is, there hasn't really been any type of competition in the East to stop him from getting there, but all we get to hear about is how he's been there 6 straight years or whatever its been.

What really makes matters worse, however, is if he hadn't freaking won last year, we probably have Durant -- if you want to believe the reports. I had to find new levels of hatred after that!
