Back to back WCF. They are just one piece away.


They beat fat guy + old guy and beat a Curryless GS.

I think they peaked two years ago.


Only OKC is better. Maybe Houston. That's it.

I'll be in the minority here but I'm not a fan of paying almost $60M combined for Randle and Reid. I think you choose 1 or the other at the price and I would rather keep Reid going forward. Randle had good moments last year but you saw in the playoffs who he truly is when it matters

So a team that has made 2 WCF in a row, who's best player is a 23 year old with room to grow...they peaked 2 years ago? :lol: I sometimes wonder if people here even watch basketball.

He was undoubtedly better than Reid though. Wasn't even close.

Do you think the 1st and 2nd rounds of the playoffs don't matter?

Time will tell.

Let's see if they ever get back to the WCF.

I am not a fan of Edwards or his game like most are and the salary cap is not friendly.

By the way...I have played, coached and watched basketball since the 80's.

And a lot of people aren't a fan of Shai's game either. Check the hardware. All that matters is Results and ANT and the Wolves get Results.

Classic example of a biased take.

randle is not the first player OKC's defense completely locked up. Randle looked nice in the rounds before. pretty unfair criticism, as per usual for julius.

Actually, Edwards is ahead of SGA in his NBA development arc at same age and milestones. No guarantee Edwards develops to MVP chip winning player like SGA - but he needs to be given the equal chance (as SGA) when making assessments.
