That's not confirmation bias. That's confirmation. Both teams play small. They just did it better than we did.

They're not small. PJ playing pf full time is small.
How are they not small. Otto Porter was their starting 4. Looney was a backup, he averaged like 20 mpg. And majority of those mins as Draymonds backup. For most of the game GSW majority was with one center who is 6 9" or smaller.
I guess its not smallball if they win
I'm an idiot. I forgot Draymond is like 6'6".

Hell no. Did you see that 21-0 run? Jimmy was the only one that consistently showed up for us. We would have been murdered.
G-league scrubs bricking it up. Herro hurt. Bam not showing up. Nah. They would have made it rain against us. We we're banged the hell up.
Boston didn’t have the veteran leadership with experience like Miami had. Jimmy surpasses anything Brown or Tatum did in this series. If we got Lowry and Tucker to show up which I think they would have, it would have definitely been a series. Bam probably makes an appearance against Warriors small ball which was really effective against Boston. Plus Spo is a better coach than a first year guy like Udoka
Yeah I understand this warriors group is lethal offensively at times but the reality is I thought the Celtics did a bad job overall of guarding steph and Draymond and Klay were pretty underwhelming on the offensive end. Simply put Heat have more dogs than Boston did
We went 11 points in a quarter fam. You have a scoring drought against the Warriors then they feast.

You’re right perhaps I was being overly optimistic. I was just surprised to see Boston lose the way they did, but I guess they did ultimately run out of gas

The Hornets are hesitant to match a max contract for Bridges? Who has max contract space for Bridges this offseason?

Don't quote me but I think Portland, Orlando and the Spurs have max or close to a max space each.

Re: Around the NBA, NEXT Vol. Volume! Sea you at the Crossroads, so you won't be lonelee!!
The story of kyrie holding his own practices is probably the most overblown story on the offseason and the offseason just started… guy was away from his teammates most of the season, sure his decision not vaccinating was the cause of it but also because of some weird inconsistent laws new york passed that didnt make sense.
He was practicing on his own.. he probably asked a few players if they wanna hang out a bit for he can try to get back in game shape and rhythm.. so someone tells SAS this story, yea kyrie held his own practices, SAS uses thay info and puts his spin on it about kyrie undermining Nash.
He did a lot more than Ben Simmons…
Dont get it twisted i still think hes the kanye west of the nba.. but that story is low for SAS to put his spin the way he did

Golden State didn't really beat Boston's bigs. I believe Celtics outscored them with Robert Williams and Al Horford on the court together despite Tatum/Brown not playing that good. Golden State in 2nd half of series really beat up on Boston's bench which isn't that tall/athletic and the Warriors bench was just better. Looney or OPJ, Poole, GP2 outplayed Grant Williams, Pritchard, and Derrick White. That was the difference. Golden State had an extra 40 million in its payroll and it ended up being decisive even if a low cost player like GP2 was a big difference maker as well.

If u don't want 2b here, the way things work, u don't like it, then don't b here. U have 2 stand on something. If Miami ain't standing on something, they become alot of these organizations trying 2 find their identity. This is the culture, bro -Wade

Was just thinking about how Hinkie got ran out of Philly right when he was about to realize his process.
What would Hinkie have done if he had stayed in his position?
Was that roster on its way to being...
Embiid
Kristaps
Tatum
Mikal
Simmons
?
