I'ma say it: new era has started in these early playoffs

[msgkings322]

Tons of teams still in it...where's the greats of the past decade? Where's LeBron, Steph, KD, CP3, Kawhi, PG, Butler, AD, Westbrook, Harden...(shout out to Kyrie as the exception, still in there)

Not in the playoffs, any of em. Anyone think any of those dudes can win a title as the #1 guy or even #2? Lotta success for that group but new sheriffs are in town

It's fun man, time for new blood, I'm here for the new stuff

 

[msgkings322]

By the way this means I now think I lean towards 'rebuilding' the Warriors, not trying to win any more titles in the Steph window. His contract ends at age 38...maybe that'll be all. So let Klay go unless he stays very cheap, lean into their 3 promising youngs.

I think Steph could win as the #1 if he was magically added to the Lakers.

Not to imply that it could or would, just might be the only example of a path to a ring for one of them as lead role. I’ll go ahead and toss Embiid into that group too.

Much respect to OKC and MN for seemingly smashing through their glass ceilings so well.

Stinks Giannis

I lost a lot of respect for Giannis this season when he forced out a winning coach in favor of Doc.

Yeah, the fault really falls at the feet of whomever green-lit the Dame trade.

Why's that? They were 30-13 before the coaching change.

Oddly clippers trade is what built the thunder.

No argument.

Don’t know why my last sentence got cut off. But the lack of him kinda shifted the balance this year.

It’s either Boston or Brunson and cheapass free throws outta the East now.

That was big but Presti did lots more than that to build them

Two of their better players, if not best, came from trade, and they have capital remaining.

Indeed. Presti is the best GM in the game

It was a huge mistake not listening to you years ago. Especially since we never once interacted then

You and dumby tlance , that dude is never right about anything, how many years you think it will take for him to realize Brunson is a superstar in this league

 

[PnkPanther]

I for one would like to see okc/MN battle it out for west for years to come

You questioning someone else's intelligence is hilarious.

I mean, you can't even spell dummy right.
