Its a shock to me. Wow lol. Lets hope Riley wont sign bad contract ala Mcbob, Waiters, Tyler Johnson etc.
And get us what we really need

The good thing is we don't have much potential for bad contracts unless the FO does something unexpected with Crowder

Hope Goran will accept a one year mega payday

Safe to say Bam has been playing like chit due to his tweaked up neck?

He never misses easy ass bunnies like that around the rim last game and this.

For some reason, the moment I finished reading this, the first thought that popped up in my head was "**** Whiteside".

At least the off-season will be short but man... I’m so emotionally spent lol. I can’t imagine another 82 game regular season starting in January. I’ll be here for it tho

ngl Whiteside would've helped this series.

wait nvm this dude would've been fouled out the first quarter with AD.

Most teams didn't even know enough about us to prepare for us enough to learn how to play against a simple zone. It took Boston 5 games to even come up with something. They knew nothing about like half our rotation except from what they started to see in the bubble. You think if we were considered major threats from day one like a Lakers or Clippers, that happens? OK.

Lie to yourself and not me. Because what I'm saying is facts.

Yeah I'm sure the Bucks and Celts were game planning for other teams when we were up 1-0 and then 2-0 on them. Not like MIL or BOS had experience getting clamped by TOR's zone, but yeah let's diminish the Heat for emulating and executing it vs them as well. Oh they didn't make moves at the trade deadline to account for us? Well then that changes everything I guess. Perhaps we should go back through history and award asterisks to all teams that weren't preseason favorites

But hey feel whatever you want about this team. Have fun in the offseason and we'll see you again when we're making our 2021 Finals run

Yeah. Because obviously having one day off to prepare from game to game in a series is the same as prepping for an entire season to play a team you expect to have to beat to win a championship.

The fact that you are throwing a tantrum over me saying the simple FACT that this team clearly overachieved and championship contention let alone a finals appearance is not guaranteed by just adding another star is funny. Because yall were the same ones who didn't gaf how this series turned out and were saying every win was house money. Now suddenly my saying this team isn't as close as people are saying is so bad

Yeah, getting to this stage is no guarantee ... however strong you think your team is. Ask Kawhi!

Thankful for this experience, and giving me and all of you wonderful fans a chance to get our minds of all the other **** things happening in our world in 2020. Definitely a bright light

Playoff Rondo is real, spicy chivato leprechaun franklin the turtle

Iguodala has a 15 mil contract. Also there is no guaranty the Lakers are back, against most teams Crowder has been very good in the playoffs. Depending on who the Clips get to coach the team or how the Warriors return they are the possible western opponents. Dont forget the Bucks will make some desperate moves and who knows what to expect from the Nets.

Adam Silver said Christmas at the earliest but most likely January of 2021. I think they want to squeeze in a full 82 games plus playoffs before the NFL season starts.

we;ll know more about his injury/injuries in coming days.

i suspect he phucked up his shoulder when he blocked that boy's dunk. it didn't look normal the way his shoulder stopped that much force. he also got banged up a bunch of times thereafter
