Dude has nothing left in the tank

Haven't really watched him at all this season or post season, dude lost it 2 years ago

He hasn't kept up with his body or age. Still tries to bang and feel like he has bulked up instead of doing the opposite.

Then whom?

I see Finals Raptors and Houston

Anybody but the Rockets please. Can't stand D'Antoni. What was he chasing with a 6 game lead, the number one seed, home court clinched, going into the playoffs playing all his main guys big minutes? Can't stand Harden. When you can watch a guy hook a player on a drive to the basket and then throw his body into the same guy and get to the line over and over again I don't know how you root for that guy unless you are from Houston.

+1 Close last night. Think Wolves would of won if they did not keep sticking Towns in the corner on switches. Hoping Butler and Towns will carry them for an upset. Think Pelicans will do some damage as well. Rooting for OKC and anyone but the Rockets and Warriors. In the East I like Raptors and Sixers with the edge going to Raptors.

Like I said......Pelicans VS Raptors in Finals. Or GS VS LBJ

Ack.

Bucs have disappointed but they don't have a lot around Giannis

Great points. Why Knick management thought it was necessary to add a third shooting guard when the Knicks had Shump and JR is still baffling. Gobert would have been a great pick.

I have watched about 5 minutes of each game. Rondo and Holiday are getting a lot of credit for their teams success. Also have heard talk of Rondo's leadership both from analysts and Alvin Gentry.

Makes sense, always been a Rondo fan. The guy hates to lose

Every year there is a guy that gets passed. Every year, or in subsequent you can look back and see guys that’s went later and were better than a few, or many before.
Every year.
Mitchell went 14th. Not just Knicks, but about 10 other teams might be lamenting. HE is not doubt a great surprise for Utah. Gorbert needed a few years to develop.
Manny passed on Steph Curry TWICE.
CUrry had injury problems his first few years.
You don’t know the proper order of things until after.
It has taken me years to digest this. How do you pick Kwame Brown, Anthony Bennett, etc????
You have to go back and understand the moment, not the ensuing facts.
It’s not just Knicks, its the process of the draft. It’s far from science.
It’s also way patience is necessary.
