What I'm not a big fan of is perhaps JJ's moves being largely uninspiring. I don't think he's really pushed the boundaries in any trades since probably the CP3 trade (but that was largely orchestrated by CP3)


The Warriors have nice management but, more than anything, they have had a longstanding willingness (due to their owner)to spend what's necessary to get players and keep them. That's led to an insane amount of luxury tax, but that's the cost of winning in this league anymore.

Jones got credit for the Paul trade but he had nothing to do with that other than saying yes and taking it to Sarver. EotY was hugely undeserved.

Disagree. CP3 wouldn't have come if we didn't' make noise in the bubble. CP3 alone also wouldn't have been enough to take us to the Finals.


Meh. That's opinion and little else just as it is for me to say what I think. We don't know that for absolute sure as far as Paul's inclination to come here.

Another call against Landale that Zion got the benefit of; however, the challenge went to our favor and Williamson picked up the foul... his SECOND for the game.

I'll never understand the challenge system. How do win a successful challenge and still lose your challenge?

EotY being undeserved is also opinion

If you lose the challenge, you lose a time out. It's a stupid system that doesn't actually hold officials accountable.

Which I'm totally fine with. But I agree, you should get up to 3 challenges if they are all successful. Points out officials mistakes in real time

Woah...CP3 is slow as hell and definitely doesn't seem to have the same pop but damn he still got it done

I was really surprised they didn't leave Zion there to get a potential offensive rebound on a missed FT...I honestly was scared that would happen and then they moved him off. Thanks Willie!

A Zion middy is about as good a shot as you could force

Yeah, you get two challenges in the NFL and if you win one you get a 3rd. I think if you lose your 2nd, you lose a timeout.

Sucks we don't have Ayton for OT, as well as he was playing. You should also get a 7th foul for OT.

Williamson trucks Lee and he's complaining about getting fouled?

And to think we could have had Nance for cheap. How cool would it have been to play for your old man's team? Instead, Jones got... no one.

Paul's leg shouldn't matter...Zion was obviously going to run into him no matter what.

Of course they overturn that. A fadeaway shot will always result in your legs going forward but whatever.
