Paul is still a winner though because he speaks with authority during timeouts. Only James Harden is the loser apparently when he doesn't show up for big games.

I don't see it. Those teams are much more athletic, have a lot more depth, have more shooters, and play great defense.

Did you see it in the games the Sixers played against them this season? They played them pretty well. Neither team is athletic as Toronto who the Sixers beat btw.

You’re comparing regular season wins? Both teams have superior top end talent, especially over Toronto.

This might be it for the Suns. Booker is elite, but:

- Paul will be 38 next playoffs.
- The Bridges albatross contract kicks in next year.
- Ayton's max looms this summer.

they are going to trade Ayton

Dallas whooping Phoenix, this is crazy. Spencer Dinwiddie was a genius addition to that roster. He's a Bina fide playoff performer.

A GSW/Boston finals will be a lot of fun.

Yes. They played games against each other and you can see how they matched up. And I don’t think either the bucks or Celtics are all that athletic honestly.

Granted he just turned 37. Harden turns 33 in August so you can conservatively hope for 2 more All-Star level seasons from him.

Mik317 · Post #1712 » by **Mik317** » Mon May 16, 2022 1:46 am

Harden also didn't take care of his body and generally has carried more weight on it than CP3 and had more of a scoring role than CP3.

plus them big booty skrippers can't be great for the knees lol

Mik317 · Post #1713 » by **Mik317** » Mon May 16, 2022 1:47 am

our close out game ended up being the closest lol

Harden has at least one good year left in him. That's really all we need. He can walk after next season.

Losing in the playoffs in painful fashion always finds CP3 no matter what age.

Dallas by 40 after 3? I want to hear Ferry's rationalization.

Luka's dog mentality was Wolf level

Cp3's was Chihuahua level

Can’t believe GSW is going to take two years off and then come right back with another ring.

The problem is there’s no way Daryl lets his man crush go.

Dallas could really use Tobias Harris.
