    duncan/parker/ginobili and bron/wade/bosh makes sense for this

    Looking back at the Dlo trade is interesting - sure DFS shored up the defense but clearly getting rid of the only other traditional PG seemed to have unlocked AR on offense. Weird to think on a team with Lebron and now Luka and Lebron, he fits in just fine but it was getting rid of the other ballhandler and giving the keys to the car to AR has worked out really well.

    When you know you know. KD can't wait for his next stop.

    Also, how is that not a flagrant?! Zero landing space. Such a bull s*** review.



    Awesome Austin game. Calf is fine, I think.

    To have a #3 guy who scales up to a 30 ppg scorer when Bron sits is just nuts

    Yes, and so much more besides the points. Getting players back and healthy, time for another roll.

    Reaves is starting to get credit for being a very good "All-Star"like player but what doesn't get mentioned is how Reaves doesn't miss many games. Last season, he played every game. This season, he's churning out big minutes and has been mostly healthy the entire season.

    Against the Bucks, 36 minutes with a strong performance. Faces the Nuggets the day after playing 40 minutes with another strong performance.

    Not the most athletic or strongest but seems to still find a way to take contact, hard falls, and gets back up no problem.

    He has the farm boy strength.

    Also, since when did he become so good at FT's? 92% from the FT line taking 7 FTA the past 20 games!

    LOL. I think at this point there is no conversation to be had. AR is an all-star level player, possibly even as high as #2 on a contender, that went undrafted and we got for peanuts.

    Dude's gonna get paaaaaaaaid. Hopefully by us.

    I can live with AR, Luka + another star post Bron.

    Don’t sleep on Knecht. Are you watching him starting to handle the ball more confidently with some of that Luka and AR flair? Mid range, athletic dunks …. gorgeous stroke from 3 and going to be strong as hell.

    I like that we have other guys like Reaves and Knecht who can score 30 any given night when either Luka or Bron are not around

    Man, taking Boston down in the Finals with two coldass white boys would be the stuff of dreams.
