I’ve heard some musings that we would want gasol on a vet min but damn if he doesn’t look slow AF... I’d rather ibaka for the dubs

watching this after a game 2 win, but def had to change after that kemba scare lmfao

“He’s probably gonna average a foul a minute” Priceless

Imo, Siakam doesn't look like the same player as last year. At the beginning of the season, he was putting MVP numbers but he got a leg injury and has looked quite pedestrian since then, especially in the bubble. His bag doesn't seem as diverse and it appears to me that he has lost half a step, especially defensively. I remembered him moving much more quickly on the perimeter contesting shots and guarding Pnrs but he looked slower and out of sync.

The reality is every championship level team needs 1-2 dirty players, and it doesn't matter if they are intentionally dirty or not, they just have to be assholes., the kind that will get beat up in a park

A goon is one thing, karate chopping someone on the neck like that is straight up assault and battery imo 😂

Morris has been doing shit like this since he came into the league... It was a dirty play but that shit happens in the playoffs, like Alch said every team needs a goon, 'specially come playoff time.

Alch I’m curious what you think about the Doncic/Morris kerfuffle. I was rooting for the Mavs (mostly because I like underdogs) so it bummed me out when the Clips won the series but I’m not so deluded that I actually thought they had decent odds at winning. How do you think the NBA deal with Morris going forward?

thanks..they have done a nice job acknowledging all that is going on.

Nurse and Lowery thrive in the underdog "count us out" type situations. But overall it feels like a bad match up. Let see how Kemba looks gm2.

I get the feeling Raptors will give up if they lose game 2. So much of their game seems to be straight up confidence from Kawhi/winning the Finals. Without a superstar like that to settle them down after a loss they'll fall back into their old ways.
