If Minnesota were to ring, they would be the most Jekyll and Hyde team to win a title in my lifetime. One of the few teams who can win on this level without a killer instinct.

Podz is a gamer. He just needs to stop trying to flop for calls. He's better than that.

I'm a knicks fan but I'll listen to Celtics fans make that argument about Tatum. I won't agree but I will entertain the argument.

But I won't entertain that argument for this warriors team. It is build around 3 guys: Butler, Curry and Green. All of them have had their 35th birthday.

Old players get hurt. It was highly unlikely all 3 could go 4 series without an injury. And without all 3 this team is vulnerable.

The Warriors saying "we would have won without an injury" is analogous to the Rockets saying "we would have won if our shooting held up." It was a known risk they welcomed when building their roster.

Warriors can trade Steph now. They’ve found his replacement.

Does Draymond have to give up his DPOY for getting played off the court by Randle?

contract year? He played like crap for Knicks in playoffs.
I am curious how he plays after he gets max.

Wasn't he hurt and or injured in the last two playoffs for the Knicks?

He was hurt before the 2023 playoffs, but I don't remember any injuries during the 2021 run.
I guess Minny will pay him and see the results. It's a complete mystery for me. Is it the new team, contract? Was 2021 caused by inexperience, and 2023 by injuries?
