Interestingly, Jokic would have been a perfect Triangle 5-man.

How did Phil miss on the Joker?



He was built like John Pinone.

 I do love watching Houston when Harden is on the bench.

So 2 interesting playoff games, and the forum is stuck on a Kanter smackdown . . .


Thankfully, we have Mr. Know-it-All to tell us off.

Les, you're a baaaaaad boy (just like me)

Clowned himself two possessions late.   Hubris loses.

Durant and Zion mentioned about, the perfect fix for what ails.

Gordon had a good game.  Outplayed Klay.
Slumpert showed up and outscored the GSW bench.
PJ Tuck outhustled GS on the boards.
I meant to see who he beta to those rebounds (Durant at least once or twice), but got a phone call during the replay and wasn't able to pay attention.

Scurry had a poor game and missed a few layups.  Durant missed a 4Q layup too.
Was a weird game.  The W was there for GS and they just failed to take it.
A 3-0 series lead was there.  Where was the urgency?

New Poll:
Kyrie Irving--
- Leader?
- Overrated Bum?

Irving has terrific 1-on-1 skills, but he also puts in these blah low-impact games.  Again, I only saw half the game.  4Q, MIL was hunting Kyrie out and feasting on his weak D.

Put me down for being a much bigger Kyrie fan than you. As long as he's the second star coming to NY, I'd be delighted were he to take a max from NY. Just as Boston will be delighted if he stays. I hate that Ainge stole him in the way that he did.

Raps season on the line in an hour, and Siakam is "doubtful". Sixers need to be hungry and aggressive early, especially towards Lowry. When he scores well, the Raps are tough to beat.

Who recently said:
"I'm an actual genius when it comes to this game."

Okay, so it was Kyrie.  Weird guy.
Without KZ, I'm left hoping we get two max stars, I guess.

I'd rather watch Kemba plays his ass off, than the more talented Kyrie mope and show up half the time.  Because the only guarantee is valKyrie will be moody and somewhat unhappy.  There's recent minor chatter that Kyrie prefers BKY, which I see as a better landing spot for KD as well.

Not sure exactly why but I can see Durant returning to GS (say 60%), but I think Kyrie has one foot out the door and is likely leaving Beantown (30% return).  Though the reports are Durant is the one half-gone and likely coming to NYC.  And a BOS run to the Finals could alter the calculus.  Kyrie a hoops genius so he's using differentials to decide . . .


So who is a max player?
I saw an article that expected Tobias and Middleton to both get max deals.  I'm a Middleguy fan, have been for a few years, but a max contract?  Yee-ikes.  Tobias isn't that level.
Of course a max contract varies based on years, ranging form something like starting at around $26M up to $36M for a 10 year player.  So I wish they attached numbers instead of using a sliding scale term like max contract.

Van Vleet needs to lock in.  He just looks blah out here.  Last year he was oozing confidence. 
If Siakim is out, Serge needs to find the urge to surge.
I expect Siakim to give it a shot and play at leats 20 mins, with whatever he's got.  Even half=speed, he helps them. 
I forgot about Anunoby.  Unfortunately timed appendicitis.

But yeah, Lowry should be key.
I'd run an early play or two to get Lowry an open 3, or better yet a rim attack layup, where he either scores or gets fouled.
Try to give him some confidence early.

Why do you think Golden State did not give effort?

 If I could have one, any one (which I can't),  K.Leonard is without a doubt, that one...

Agreed. 


For me, KL and KD would be tops.

Nice line for Gasol, with a team high +13.
