well, it depends. so far randle has been dismal in the playoffs. twice. we can assume he won't be in the future but who really knows. plus even at this age lebron is clearly the better defender. put it like this, with jalen sitting or just off, who are you more confident in that they could carry us ? does it mean we're winning a title for sure ? no. it might just be denver's time right now and nobody is for a few years.

wonder if the role players on teams of players that get league recognition get pissed cause it ends up fcking with their own bag. like is some scrub on the heat side eyeing bam cause he is about to get paid 55m a year. that role player knows there is only so much pie to go around.

the one thing ive noticed this series is



Milwaukee gets great shot quality vs the pacers no matter what the game state is.


that's how bad Indiana's defense is. if they even could play avg defense these leads would be 20 and not 12

yep. that's the history of the league. all the greatest players ever, hall of fame types win all the titles and occasionally somebody else can squeeze one title out during a transitional period when nobody is that dominant.

it's why some of us are starphuckers. those detroit and dallas chips rotted peoples brains.


though winning a few series here and there is more fun than where we have been.

We need to aquire healthy players

Davis, Embiid, Giannis, Towns, George, Kawhi, Butler, Lillard, Curry or Klay, all injury prone

Nor softies like Porzingis, Ayton, Kuzma, Ingram, Lebron, Durant, Turner, Irving, Halilburton or Harden

We need one if not two of Mitchell, Booker, Bridges, Doncic, SGA, Edwards, Brown, DeRozan, Maxey or Tatum .. from the big men I would only take Jokic, Sabonis, Wemby, Adebayo or Siakam (if Thibs is willing to play small ball)

Anunoby / Bojan
Di Vincenzo / Hart
Brunson / McBride

Much better bench :)

I'm sure I'm on a lonely island, but I feel like Giannis is turning into one of those fake hustle players, or that calf injury was something more.
