Synchronicity and all that jazz, man.

What do you consider of worth? They went to round 2 in the bubble and collapsed against Denver and Jokic…they faced us in the WCF the next year, though Kawhi was out with an acl tear from round 2. I don’t recall what happened the year after that, but then we faced them in round 1 the 1st year of KD and PG was hurt(then Kawhi got hurt). So making the WCF is the biggest thing they did.

True true, without looking, it felt like after that shot the hype of those two went away.Split T wrote: ↑Mon Aug 04, 2025 6:28 pmWhat do you consider of worth?

Ya I think the bubble was their moment. That was year 1, both were healthy, but it seemed they weren’t in the right headspace. I think most people definitely viewed it as LA vs LA s the two best teams…but then they choked big time against Denver.iLLmatic wrote: ↑Mon Aug 04, 2025 10:04 pmTrue true, without looking, it felt like after that shot the hype of those two went away.Split T wrote: ↑Mon Aug 04, 2025 6:28 pmWhat do you consider of worth?

I do think the year we beat them in the WCF that they probably win the title if Kawhi doesn’t get hurt…we had a hard time with them…but Kawhi and pg getting hurt is ultimately the story that everyone will remember about their time together.
