This is beneath you man.

Reposting this garbage that only seeks to diminish one of the greatest stars of our era.

Very lame.

Yea. Probably still get a title in 17 or 18 anyway. But even at worst 2 time champ who came from Davidson?

Exceedingly positive still

Just because I posted it doesn't necessarily mean I agree with it.

You posting it breathes life to it.

And without context of something like:

“Look at this trash post I found”

It is a bad look for you.

Probably get the title in ‘15 anyway.

‘16 Warriors were extremely banged up too.

And the injuries that post cited from 2022?

Denver was their first round opponent. They weren’t a relevant contender that year. Post is acting like it was the best team GS beat.

Memphis was second round.

I can guarantee there is a long list of NBA champs with easier first and 2nd round matchups than those.

Part of titles is who can stay healthy

Sixers were very lucky last night. At the same time, I’m encouraged that they finally have a playoff caliber coach. I’m encouraged that they found a way to win when both Maxey and Embiid were subpar.

A very small part of me wouldn't mind seeing the Heat season end on Friday. Getting eliminated in the play-in is the only way some of these players will value regular season basketball again after the run they made last year

I remember you saying this last year as well and then giving you shit about it as the Heat went to the Finals . Maybe that mojo works again.

Wait…you’re telling me that a coach is allowed to be an asset in the playoffs? He doesn’t have to be a liability?

Cherry picking the stat for the guy who hasn’t been a plus shooter since the Clinton administration….

It's a rarity when a player joins the Lakers and improves from 3, give us a break lol.

I didn't watch the game, but was there a good reason why Herro took 27 shots when he was wasn't shooting well?

He's doing a good job of being traded lol

Rozier was out. Butler tweaked his knee. Bam pusses out offensively in most Embiid head to heads. Nobody left to take shots. They had no point guard so they didn’t really run a ton of offense. Butler was so hampered by the knee that the Sixers just used Maxey’s speed to chase him around and deny him the touch.

If the Heat had somebody to run offense it might have been difficult. All it seemed like they were doing was clear out ball for Herro.

With Jimmy out I highly doubt it. I believe had they won last night and the Jimmy injury doesn’t happen then solid chance they are back in the conference finals. It is what it is

Like, say, the 2020 Lakers.

 

[The Q]

I went from the Knicks are the sleeper pick in the conference to them getting hot and being the 2 seed

Their lineup with Brunson and OG just destroys people

It’s the Death Star lineup
