Are people forgetting how bad Donte was pre-trade? Unless he had some miracle turnaround in his form he wouldn't have seen any floor time.

Like the turnaround he had in Sacramento where he was basically just the Donte that was a good player for us? I'd make the argument that assuming a guy wouldn't improve on his first month back after not being able to walk normally for half a year is pretty easily the more improbable scenario.

What turnaround? He put up 10/4/3 on 36% shooting coming off the bench for a shithouse Kings team.

I didn't see him in sac and still an advanced stat noob, but his stats seemed pretty weak. 53TS, poor WS, negative bpm. Like did we expect him to take Allen's minutes or something? And even if he was on the roster, I'm not sure buds hard on for Hill and Wes would've gone soft because White Donte is somewhere on the bench.

Oladipo is such a black hole nowadays

His efficiency raised from horrible to basically where he was last season, shot the three 9% better, scored and assisted at the highest rates in his career with lower usage then he had for us this season and almost doubled his steal rate.

But yeah, nothing I guess.

Donte would have been enough. Awful trade. Can't believe I allowed myself to be excited by it.

Spo should draw up the let Boston take open threes defence to see if it gets them over the hump

Ya, know... It might just work one of these days!

JVG sounds terrible. Can't believe they let him call the game.

Such a bad **** call :lol:

Who doesn't like a shooter drop-kicking a defender who's well off to the side of them, and then falling to the ground like they've been shot?

Dipo with a bucks style, ill-advised 2 for 1.

This game is bound to end on a smart - Lowry double flop at the buzzer.

I'm envisioning a loose ball situation with 4 players simultaneously flopping as time runs out.

I hate seeing a player like Butler fight this hard with very little help while his team is getting hosed by the refs in the 3rd quarter. Looks similar to the last round.

I have a hard time seeing either of these teams beat Golden State in 7.

Butler flipping off the crowd.

Jfb would be so fun to root for if he wasn't a total ****. On the court he is usually awesome, but it's his mouth off the court that makes you cheer for his ultimate failure.

Lowry actually doesn't flop and just gets trucked right in front of the ref, block called. Hilarious.

Tatum push offs are ridiculous.

Hate that challenges get wasted because refs are horrible.

Smart does just enough offensively to annoy you. That last bucket was tough.
