Also, if its the same tired complaint, that means he hasn't adjusted. Weird how that plays out.
I am sure glad he is not coaching our team. It has been a pleasure to watch the Phoenix Suns since he left town.
He's won as many titles as we have. :lol:

And Houston is garbage to watch tbh, they aren't fun at all. They play college basketball offense.
Love, Hurts.

As an impartial, I'd much rather watch this version of GSW over Houston any day. The foul hunting and lack of ball movement is boring.

Yeah, it is just a joy to watch a loaded roster of prima donnas and their phony celebrations headed up by the phony coach.

I am all in on the Cavaliers. They need to physically beat the crap out of these phonies.
What was the reason to get rid of Monty again? Oh yeah, that guy we drafted rather than Doncic.

I never really bought into the shortened rotation being a big problem, but when you miss 27 straight 3's on pretty decent looks, it makes you wonder. What are the chances a 37%(just a guess) 3 pt shooting team misses 27 straight? You gotta think tired legs played a role.

Cavs just don't have enough firepower. And they don't defend very well. LeBron might average 45/15/10 but will anyone else average double figures?

Cavs will get rolled and LeBron will get all the blame. Gonna be a fun ride that one.

Paul out for Game 7. No way Houston beats the warriors without him, unless all of the nobodies on the road turn it up to 11 at home.
I tried to tell Cap after game 5 but he wouldn't listen.

Rockets playing like it's game 7, warriors playing like it's some random regular season game. Rockets getting every loose ball, warriors constantly not back on D. They really don't deserve to win this game.
Warriors just turn it on when they need to. Sickening.

Yeah, I felt pretty smug when the Rockets were up 17 in Game 6. I felt no such smugness when they led by double digits today.

A average sized C and PJ is giving the Dubs all sorts of problems on the boards.


Hello Ayton.
Amen. We ain't going to beat them playing Warrior ball.

If the East wasn't a dumpster fire he wouldn't be in the finals.

I fully expect him to tuck tail and run to the next team after this season.

I think I dislike this Warrior team as much as I disliked the Lakers teams, it starts with their coach. He is such a smug jackass phony.
I dislike this team more than any team in NBA history. Dancing, flexing, flopping, Draymonds mouth spit, adding KD to a 73 win team, just no, cannot stand this group.
Yup.

If the Cavs can beat the Warriors, I'll give Lue his due.

Well he's basically done that this postseason so sure, why not

Edit: 34/9/9 with Kevin Love averaging 14 a game

Key is Capela can stay on the court because he moves well enough to check perimeter guys on switches. If Ayton can do that, he'll be a real problem for teams to matchup against.
Capela isn't an otherwordly athlete so I do think Ayton could get by as well. (I'm really trying to sell myself on Ayton because I'm convinced he's the guy)
Just focus on his offensive tools. We won't have to worry about him not hitting free throws, he's going to be automatic from mid-range (or will be eventually) and he should be one of the best rebounders in the league.
