After watching THIBS take marginal individual defenders and turn them into solid team defenders. I'm convinced that it's all about the preparation and paying attn to details.

DS does a lot of other good things, and his father (who i thought was such a crafty player) should be proud

He's better than the version of his dad that played in the NBA. Crazy.
But yeah, he already has a pretty complete offensive game - now he needs to put more time focusing on his D. He needs a mobile forward to help him out. (Perhaps Turner is the guy - but he also needs defensive work in spite of his blocked shots)

Sure, and to that point it’s worth noting that the Pacers don’t have good organization defensively, but even the bare minimum stuff DS struggles with. He moves his feet poorly, has terrible timing trying to protect the rim, loses assignments, and just overall lacks effort.

I’m not sure how these GSW players outside of Curry,Green, and Wiggins have employment in the NBA.

GSW should just say "eff it." They'll more than likely get two lottery picks if they lose tonight. Klay back and infusion of young talent will get them on track.

Watching Curry having to pass it to Wiggins for the big 3 is just sad.

Yeah they really need that Minny pick to fall because a lot of these guys on their bench should be on the roster.

Watching Wiggins blow multiple layups and open shots was tough. Watching Draymond confidently take the last minute shot is vomit inducing. I didn't realize how heavy the load Steph carried this season was.

Like what is this??? The fact that Dray is a net positive player despite being awful at at almost everything on offense is amazing. Wiggins has improved but your team is finished if he is your 2nd or 3rd option. Unless they wanna trade the picks, this next draft is going to be so pivotal for them.

I want to like Memphis. I really do. But every time I start to root for them, I remember they have Grayson Allen, and I just can't do that. Hope they get swept.

LOL, unless Grayson Allen tripped your mother its also a narrative that he got over his bitchness immature thing and worked thru it. This kid been on everyone’s short list if he got out of line. I think he had one instance in the pro’s and mostly because of his past he was called out on it. Other than that he’s been a solid dude.
The face of Ted Cruz in a Duke Uni is for sure a hate induced thing. I give any NBA player cred for making a career in it. Super intense business these guys are competing for.
No love for him but I’d welcome him here. we not talking about anything massive character inducing over coming racism or physical handicap type thing. Not talking about raping kids or beating women. The dude was out of line a few times. A lot of folk over reacted. I get its hard to get over but I dig Memphis coach and the vibe of the team.

I have no idea why people were convinced Warriors would win- Grizz are a deeper, hard working team and are better than the warriors (though Steph is the best player).

Has Morant lost some of his athleticism? he looks nowhere near as explosive vertically, though still great prospect.

Man, watching that game has me scared for the Knicks first playoff game- I was stressing out watching this one and I didn’t even particularly care about which team won!😂 Had forgotten how traumatic I found Knicks playoff games

I think it was the combination of playoff jitters, trying to take what the defense gave him and the normal wear and tear of a regular season. I noticed he was taking a page out of Derick roses book with the mid-range floaters.

Milwaukee...I dunno. Miami's got to be feeling good after that game.

Maybe that's my subconscious problem with him. Shit face, **** personality, keep him off the Knicks and let him sign with Cancun this off-season.

Butler shot 4/22 and they lost by 2 in OT. Miami got to be kicking themselves for letting this slip away.

Leonard with the airball. Maybe one of the more overrated players in the league?
