    Maybe...depends on what Lavine wants to do. This season has shown without a doubt that guys can be moved if they want to be. I don't know if Lavine and Vuc equal a title contender in the near future.

    I think this team could be entirely different next season. IMO.

    Lebron and AD are the only two pieces that matter. The rest could be shuffled in a multitude of ways. I'd like to hold on to Tucker, he's still young. Maybe Caruso as a backup guard because he hustles. Every one else is negotiable.

    I bet Vogel would place chemistry, familiarity and continuity a bit higher than that, just guessing.

    I don't think Vogel has much of a clue honestly. He won a chip though, he is still family.

    Because that's what happened last summer?

    I agree with your premise, but Rob is aggressive.

    That's just how he operates

    nothing would surprise me, save for AD or lebron moving.

    and i think standing pat and drastic change could each make sense depending on what the market offers.

    Compared to playing in LA? With AD and Lebron and still get paid? It's not a slam dunk for Chicago.

    Wow. Celts just lost Brown. Ugh. Hate these injuries. Klay, Brown, LA, Murray.

    I haven't seen a player this deadly like Steph Curry since Kobe retired. We have to guard him like Kobe would be defended, double, triple him and make others beat you

    We need to make them defend the paint, and make 2s. Need to play the 3 point line hard. KCP, Wes, Dennis, Alex and Kuz will need to play super hard and not foul.

    curry's season reminds me so much of kobe in 05-06. both literally carried their respective teams on their back to the playoffs

    steph deserves the MVP just like kobe did that season and like kobe, he won't win it

    True that. Make him work his a** off for his 50 if he has one those nights and goes super nova, and squash the rest of them. Not worried about this. Especially since it's not sudden death for us. Bron's back, with a lot of rust, but he's still a tank they have no answer for and AD is back to being AD. Look the hell out playoffs as we have a stronger team than last year ..... if we can stay healthy and round into a smooth running machine the first couple of series.

    I don't think Steph shoots that well against us, and we have good perimeter defense. He's dangerous, of course, but we're just better. Like... much better. I don't think Bron will let us lose it. But let's wait until tonight.

    memphis did a pretty good job, but every time they had a breakdown, draymond and steph exploited it. brutal. you can't make mistakes. if you don't, you can pound that team, but if you do (like jaren jackson on like...every defensive play down the stretch in that game), you're toast.

    Completely agree. Been saying forever that he's the only current player that I could realistically see breaking Kobe's 81-point mark.

    Unrelated: congrats to Boston on a spectacular .500 season.

    If they trade Caruso, we riot.
