This year proved depth > 3 star team. We need to stop the Kyrie wishes. Just add more pieces to this team. Next year is probably the end of the Bron/AD duo, they will give it one more shot.
That doesn't prove shyt. We never had 3 stars. And we sure as hell don't have 2 superstars currently.

Hopefully AD being shyt on the whole offseason motivates him to beast all next year. Jokic flat out punked his ass all series. I haven’t given up on him yet, but that was a pathetic and soft series from him

DLo is what he is, a streaky chucker. He’s a sixth man at best

LeBron played his ass off, but we aren’t going to see THAT LeBron too often for however long his career lasts.

Ham was put in a terrible situation in the beginning of the season and made chicken salad out of chicken shyt. Having to waste most the season keeping Westbrick happy had to have been a huge headache. But after Westbrick left, he did a good job rallying to the team to make a miracle playoff run.

This was a fun team to watch post trade deadline. A few tweaks can make this a title contender next year.

I’m on the fence regarding getting Kyrie.

The Truth
Bron barely had any help. Hua 3-12, 41 mins. No assist, blocks or steals.

Every starter had double digits..

They didn’t have shyt for a bench.

Bron gassed out in the 1st half…

Lakers play zero defense in 3rd and completely outclassed..

Refs stopped reffin’…

Only starter I’m remotely disappointed in is AD. Dude has zero heart and it took TT out there showing him how to give effort in a closeout game. It’s the only reason his stats were as good as they ended up being

@ALonelyDad gets it…you got more consistent offense/defense levelheaded play from Rui & Reeves than Kyrie

Don’t go chasing Waterfalls
If our stars played 70 games I would agree with them, but both of them are maxed out at 50. You need depth for the regular season to get you there. Rui and Reaves will both be better next year, we can trade Beasley for another piece, have our draft pick this year, etc. This was the best team since the deadline and made it to WCF. They just lost to a better team. Fans just gotta accept there was a better team than us.

Don't forget to quote all those dumbasses who called us pussies for not wanting to play Denver in the first round.

It’s going to be a lot of people on the summer jam screen and it won’t be pretty. This tells me that they either don’t know basketball, have personal agendas catered towards a player or both like @jaydawg08.

@Rhakim told me basketball was played on charts so why did Jamal Murray who has below both Bron and AD on these charts outplay both of them by a significant margin.

I told y'all. There's a reason why them dudes got moved. They were invisible in the playoffs. Why would that change now?


Y'all can't keep changing coaches. At some point you'll be stuck with nobodies if y'all gonna go through guys like soccer leagues.
I don't see how DLo even gets $10 mil this summer.

My Pops Forever RIP
why you idiots continue to say this? Who was the gm that dug us into this whole mess? How did the Thomas Bryant trade work out? How did the mo bamba trade work out? How did the players in the Westbrook trade perform? Beasley? Vando? D'lo? We got better because we got rid of that cancer Westbrook. Rui was the only trade that was good.

Bryant deal? Pointless.
Mo Bamba? Pointless.
Everyone loved the Westbrook trade.

The Rui trade is the only one that panned out, but that's a byproduct of y'all having nothing to deal.
Y'all are gonna have to hit the bargain basement list hard and find depth that will come in and do the job.
Draft someone good at #17 and let that pick and Max Christie take steps forward during the summer.

This team as constructed isn’t winning a title unless we get another player that can allow Bron to consistently be a number two option and that would allow AD to be a 1B on some nights. The only player really that fits that is Dame, Kyrie is just a level below that IMO but it might be our best shot:yeshrug:

Happy for your team man.. Hope they win the whole thing vs the Heat or Celtics

Good luck!

Should have gone out and got Hield and Turner if that was available at the start of the season. Seems like trade deadline did shyt all. Everyone was unplayable except Rui. Now we got a bunch of tradable contracts but for who? Think it’s blowup time. Let Bron ride out his contract.
That was the move to get.
