Denver aint out tough us. They out talented us. Which what we saw from Jimmy don't think we would've been the Lakers either

Excited for the off-season to start. A lot is going to come to a head with this team. Being idle is simply not an option this year

The Lakers were an objectively better team than us but so were the Celtics and the Bucks and we beat them so I wouldn't say it was impossible. Davis in the paint would really suck for a team that already struggles to score though.

Much respect to the rest of their team though. Gordon especially showed me something. Happy for him and the rest of their guys.


Jokic’s lack of emotion came off kind of snobby & entitled to me idk, maybe I’m tripping

I honestly think Mike Malone is the only unlikable thing about their team. He’s too insecure/preachy and my god is he a media whore.

The man practically begged espn to wire him up and come into his Locker room every game. It’s not a coincidence that we only ever saw those clips from him and not from Spo.

Spo has shown what he can do with literally nothing. Now let's see what Riley can do to give him more to work with.

Massive offseason especially since we are ready 11 million over the tax line with 19 million tax bill with only 8 players signed and one being Dipo when he opts in is most likely out of the year. I expect him to be stretched and waived saving us 6 million off that number. We need to trade one of our bloated salaries for multiple players to help fill out the roster.


I think you’re understating Dipos expiring, that’ll be a good added trade chip for filler. Team want the expiring, they don’t care about the player. With Lowry and Dipo we have Westbrook money in expirings

This is an NBA franchise, not a disadvantaged youth organization. No one is going to feel sorry for you for being undermanned. Improve the team.


God, I hate this. Go make some trades. It's pretty crazy we even made the Finals with a backcourt of Gabe and Strus, and carrying the corpse of Lowry and Love. As magical as this team was this year, this team could easily get swept next year if Jimmy isn't Superman again and they are a bottom seed.

He gave a ton of respect to the Heat when they put the mic in his face after winning

He's super arrogant and a brute on the court. He gets away with it because he's still highly skilled, but he throws his weight around and then cries about the physicality when its returned too much for my liking.

Disliking Murray is self explanatory.

Its a domino effect. You take out our top scorer, then our defensive hub.....role playing shooters cant compensate for that. Its a delicate balance. Inuries suck so bad. Luck is what you need. With luck, Hakeem wins more chips than Jordan.


Regardless, it always feels like our core of shooters all get ice cold for too long whether it's all regular season (this year) or all playoffs (last year). I know every team that shoots a lot of 3s is streaky but these cold spells are our doom more than anything else.

It's like their periods sync up.

Well, Jimmy cost us the game there in the end with a weak ass pass that got stolen. And no, an ankle won’t make you weak to make a pass…ridiculous.

And all the guys on Five Reasons think Herro won’t play here again.
