Paul George isn’t bad at all, Kawhi’s game has gotten worse. Nothing but isos and a robotic crossover. PG needs his own team, compromises his own game playing second fiddle.

Doc Rivers' entire offense is isolations.

beg pardon

If you’re blaming PG for the Clippers’ demise, then you haven’t watch many Clippers games. Doc Rivers isn’t a great coach. Kawhi has learned that iso ball doesn’t work. He will go back to what worked in SA.

Having a legit veteran PG to build with does have some benefits (though I'm not craving CP3's contract)

Last summer I wanted us to sign both D-Lo and Brogdon and if we didn’t I said I wanted Dragic next offseason.

Vet PG, good outside shooter, perfect fit for Mitch and RJ, yet doesn’t make us so good that we win our way out of the lottery (see CP3).

I'm OK with Conley for a short-term rental while we see what Frank and whomever they draft does under new management

Also I respected the courage he had attempting to block D-Rose’s dunk in Phoenix.

Suicidal move yes, but respectable :lol:

Same man. Either Dragic or Conley would be a significant win, if they’re serious about the season. No-brainer if you ask me.

We turned our nose up at the thought of signing Jimmy Butler last year

All to save money for FVV.

Post #1093 » by **DOT** » Fri Sep 18, 2020 1:57 am

So fun fact

Boston has made the ECF 3 of the last 4 years

Only year they didn't make it was when they had healthy Kyrie.

Yeah. Butler's pretty awesome.

He would have hated it here though.

Reports say that Brad Stevens didn’t intervene and just stared into space as the events unfolded.

Bum.

Butler would have slapped Mitch in the face for asking those sneakers from Giannis.
