Lakers were the road team in the playin. But for the actual playoffs yes
I wouldn't call them panic trades. The dude thought he knew about the NBA, but he's clueless.
The Nets trio had record-breaking ortg when they actually played together, and would've won the title if healthy. The Beal trade is more like the Westbrook trade, but worse because it came in the aftermath of the Westbrook trade.
If those Isiah Thomas rumors are true, he fucked us too.
I'm wondering what team is going to get stupid and trade their depth for Trae this off season or is there no market like LaVine?
I love that the twolves keep wearing their throwbacks and having the old logo on the court, it's a great look
Pascal has been fucking awesome. By far the Pacers best player
KD is a fucking enigma. Does KD even have the fire to win a chip anymore? He's been on a downhill slope since getting bested by Giannis in that incredible series a couple years ago.
Also, I don't think his GS rings have any effect on his legacy (my opinion) at this point. He would still be a top 20 player without the rings, and he's a top 20 player all-time with the two he got in Golden State.
I say it all the time, Golden State was going to win with our without KD. They would have reloaded their roster with a Robert Covington or other high end 3 and D role player plus another high end rotational player.
Imagine if he stayed? Probably would be a four or five-time champion and gotten love for overcoming the Achilles injury and sticking with Golden State.

I don't think this is true, the cavs had them figured out during the 73-9 finals. Hell, they barely made it past the rockets with KD.
You're assuming GS not reloading. GS was going to find a couple of pieces to counteract what the Cavs were doing. Instead of reloading with multiple good fitting, higher end role players, the broke the game by getting KD.
Yeah I agree with you. That 2017 Cavs team wins a ring if KD ain't there. Doubt the Warriors get through the Rockets in 2018 either without KD.
He's a Bucks fan who hates the Bucks more than anyone else on planet earth. Not sure if it's a bit or what
Westbrook and Embiid both deserved their MVP. Can we also establish that.
He could have gone to the knicks and been on his way to having a statue in the middle of Manhattan
No one has actually ever deserved their MVP, every winner is a fraud.
You sure he's a Bucks fan? Nobody in this thread roots against the Bucks more than him
It was tight and now they're losing ground late in the game and can't execute. Don't put too much thought into it.
Plus MILs at home
I know he's a great facilitator, but taking the third fewest shots on the team is kind of shocking
only way he redeems himself is by demanding a trade to the Sixers
