    I think we can confidently say we are not a play in team anymore

    I know not all of the competition has been top of the top, but some has been pretty damn good, the Knicks, the Pacers are one of the better defenses, Clippers were fully healthy. We’re pouring it on teams right now, it’s been a long time since I remember us scoring at will, huge contrast to struggles to score at all at times in recent seasons

    That Knick game was a revelation, we clamped down on their two all stars, they were never in the game. Unfortunately I can’t rewatch it without feeling sad that we lost our up and coming defender

    We'll beat Cleveland in the finals.C Bags don't have a chance to beat basically prime GSW ball movement and 3 points shots ,but Cavs are playing with 2 bigs too in 7 games series

    Didn’t the C Bags already beat Cleveland twice this year? I feel like Boston beats them every time they play them. I think the Cavs are fraudulent personally.

    We are winning it alright; we got three guys that can run the offense from any angle, we will be getting easy shots for some pretty good shooters. We have a young coach that will likely be here for an extended stay and a defense that just keeps getting better. AR, LeBron and Luka are an epic trio that will difficult if not impossible to defend.
