WMC 20-21: Whine, Moan And Complain... You Know You Want To

definitely. we'd need his agent to work his magic, though, and pritchard REALLY hates us. i don't see us dealing with them. he burned the bridge during the PG fiasco, which is why he'll end up getting fired here, too, imo.

 

Zero chance Indiana trades Turner to LA. Lakers need a ball handling 3rd star anyways. Bigs are needed but not that much. Even if they are good.

 

This reminds me of Magic Johnson's "you can't out Golden State Golden State" and ran a team out there with just 1 center. We could have used slomo that year, but hey we won the championship the following year so all good

 

yeah, it's a bummer, but we got through healthy under weird circumstances last year, so i think it washes out a bit. i'm actually relieved that at least we didn't break one of our stars this year. yes, it can always happen, but it really felt like we on the cusp, imo. let's get some rest and see what next year holds. i think we have as many or more avenues to improvement relative to other contenders, and we still have the best two stars, all things considered.

anyway, this is wmc: so yes, we had an easy path to the conference finals if our guys could walk.

final caveat: if both clippers guys were healthy, we might have lost to those bastards, so at least that didn't happen.

 

Amazing how ZERO Lakers players made the All-NBA defense teams but a team like Philly can have three players in the All-NBA defensive teams. Lakers had the #1 defense in the league... And how the hell is Kawhi still making all-NBA defensive teams? Total joke!

 

yeah, three sixers on the all-d team was weird. you'd think they must have been the best defensive team in nba history. but...not really.

and i guess vogel's coach of the year because we had the league's best defense and apparently no good defensive players.

 

It’s expected but I can’t help but be annoyed that now people are acknowledging the impacts of the shortened season and injuries but they were all so quick to trash AD and LeBron.

 

right. how is leonard--who rests all season long--immune to criticisms regarding durability? when paul goes down, there won't be any streetclothes comments. barkley's a clown, and he's clearly jealous of AD because he was able to hook up with another star before he ate himself into oblivion.

 

harden got a couple cheap fouls on giannis, iirc, too. just junk they'd never call for other players or against giannis if it were on any other player.

 

Would be too funny if he injured his tail bone doing that.

 

as much as i would hate to see the clippers win a title, i'd take that any day over harden winning one. that would be a terrible day for basketball

 

eh, if kd drags harden to a title, it might be sort of fitting.
