Khawi has rings. Best two-way player in the game. I won't go that far until John gets close to one. But he has put himself into the conversation as top point guard.

Can someone explain the Phil thing? Comcast isn't doing the next round?

Awesome game! Glad they closed it out. Wall was The Man! He willed the team to victory.

Sunday, yes. Time to TBD, maybe depending on what happens with Utah/LAC tonight.

To even put the blame on Wall is absurd. Look at what the front office has done for Wall, look at the defensive system of San Antonio (that somehow gets away with playing Parker huge minutes).

Raptors/Cavs series was scheduled before given that their series finished first. If Washington/Boston had lost, they would have played game 7 on Sunday. Although, still not sure why they aren't playing on Tuesday but at least Boston is in the same boat.

What the hell are you talking about? What did I ever blame Wall for. I think he's fantastic. Just think Leonard is special. Do you think Kawhi has a great team in San Antonio? He doesn't. He had a lot of old heads and Aldridge. Yes, great coach and system in San Antonio but Kawhi brings it in both ends better than every player. Did anybody watch the Memphis Game 4 when he simply carried the Spurs into overtime but Gasol finished it for the Grizz? He's spectacular but does it in a quiet way. Love John, but again, until you can get past the second round, you aren't going to get great national respect.

The blame as in Wall not getting a ring. That's not on him, that's on the front office. I've said this before, the team needs to get to a point where the blame shifts to Wall if we don't win a championship. It's always been on Ernie cause the rosters have been ****. Give him a roster as good as CP3's and let's see how he does.

We're forgetting Kawhi had an insanely great team the year he won the championship. He hasn't won anything with Aldridge. But yea, Leonard is a top 3 player in the league, but Wall is much closer than people realize.

Thanks. That's too bad. I'll miss Phil.

I also know for certain they will replace him with some guy who yells "OH MAMA!! HES TOO FAST TOO QUICK TOO STRONG!! HAND DOWN MAN DOWN!!!"

Most NBA teams have it this way by now and it sucks.
