I expect Jules to give it a go tmw

However- likely prudent to rest him until game 3 if he didn’t practice today.

But as Giannis said - playing to win the championship vs the round is risky. Thibs wants to win everything, so I’ll be stunned if JR doesn’t play. However, are we better with obi at the 4?

Anything that has Chris Paul not winning a championship is good for me. KD and his super team following also not getting another championship is the cherry on top.

If Phoenix flames out, who does Durant want to get traded to next ? The can we trade for Booker ?

Budenholzer's brother died right before game 4 vs. Miami. Might explain some of those blunders at the end of the 5. Man's mind was elsewhere.

Condolences, Coach.

Shanghai Sharks? That’s how Marbury won a championship

Great marquee matchup of GSW and LA!

Experience matters as is time together. Warriors defeated Sac with poise and patience. Game seven had an all time great flex his muscles and exact it on a team that had the yips. Grizz immaturity and moxie did not have the talent to back it up vs. Lebron and a rejuvenated AD. Grizz went from a fun story last year to an ugly one that will get cleaned up over the summer.

As for Knicks, Bam, Lowry, and Jimmy are hardened winners with a culture and staff that has been there many times. Knicks are three years into theirs, still very young, and untested with this kind of pressure in the next round.
I want them to win but if not its a necessary process they have to over come. Talent alone won’t beat the Heat! Injuries are part of it but both teams have them.

It's a damn shame Randle and Brunson are hurt cause if both were healthy and playing at the top of their game, I'd give us a punchers chance against Miami, Boston and Philly. Playoff runs require a ton of luck and that injury bug ruined our season at the end.

Knicks have a chance. The youth will play, get experience and some wins. I hope IQ shows up with fire

That game last night was ridiculous shotmaking back and forth. Was one of the most exciting/well played games this season - up there with that final Knicks / Cavs regular season game which was pure fire.

That said the inexplicable bad pass by Brogdon right to Maxey in the final minute- that was wild.
