Suns nervous AF. Milk CP3 for last, they are beating injured Denver with or without Paul. They need to survive this.

I’m also right about this
NYK should continue to build your team, this year is just another step to long term success.
I mean, how much longer can the dood carry the team without asking for help or to be traded to a place he wants to play and contend with, cause it’s not Portland, not with continual first and second round exits.

4 seed be damned, every one of these games shows that we had the least talent of any team in the playoffs. Every other team has more shot creators than we do.

Lillard says he wants to win in POR.
If he wanted out, do you really think NYK would be on the list?

I don’t see another team that can offer the picks (we have five of them) and can absorb the contract (we have the most cap space). I don’t disagree he might want to win Portland but eventually a talent can’t be wasted like that. The dood has no help in Portland. Maybe if they trade the farm for say Beal, but CJ RoCo and picks won’t net you a Beal…
And yes, the garden was on another level. I believe stars seeing the garden rock like this will want to be a part of that. Can you imagine Lillard rocking the garden like that? Wow

Tory Craig will always find a new way to turn the ball over. The guy is meant to be defensive stopper which he is not and is terrible offensively.

So...
Lillard can’t win POR, so he should force a trade to NYK, a weaker team, in return for whatever assets NYK has.
So he can win in NY, with less help, and no assets.
Gotcha.

the lakers have missed every big 3 they've needed to get it close then the suns score to keep a comfortable lead.

Book nervous or sloppy. This is where CP3 should take the ball and close the game.
