Man the Buck are locked in. 10-1 in the playoffs and blowing fools out. Still the Warriors are going to be a tough out, even if they don't have that Beta ass Durant.
Giannis going to be cakewalking to the finals year after year like Lebron after this idiot sprints to the Clippers..

Warriors bench has been quietly disintegrating for a couple of years.
If Durant stays out, i can definitely see the Bucks winning.
Remember, they will have homecourt.
even with Durant will be a tough series, this Milwaukee team has no weaknesses, they have the best defense and most athletic team in the league, multiple shooters and shooting creators, nothing that GSW has faced in those 3 years resembles that.
Still gotta steal one in Toronto tbh.
They have great depth, but I’m still not convinced they are all big game players. They haven’t been challenged in the playoffs.
That’ll shorten the series, but with home court, they don’t HAVE to. If they steal one this trip, it’s over in 5.
No they don’t![]()
The dude has lost all his endurance. To me, that was the impressive thing about SA Kawhi, from start to finish he played hard on both sides of the ball. He has lost that ability this postseason as his stamina continues to dwindle. I keep hearing about how fatigued he is and I’m thinking to myself- what was the point of all those rest games then? When you rest a quarter of the season, then in my book you don’t get to complain about fatigue.
And to all the people who say he is carrying the whole franchise and his teammates suck and Nurse is the worst coach and blah blah blah- this is what Kawhi wanted. He wanted out from a great coach. He wanted out of a team that had another All-Star to share the load. He wanted out of SA before his contract was up. So this is the result. There are no complaints to be had about the other team when all you had to do was play one more year in SA.
Best case scenario is a less than 100 percent Durant comes back for the Finals and can't do what he normally does, while also gumming up Warriors return to the Beautiful Game (2.0)
This is a garbage post.
Aldridge couldn’t carry crap, he was abysmal in the playoffs and this Spurs team is much worse than the Raptors. Pop is a great coach but still hasn’t no clue how to play good lineups.
If Leonard goes to the clippers he’ll be in a better place. He’s had a fantastic playoff run overall.
Did I miss something? Leonard is complaining about being tired?
yeah sure,
he can betray the raptors now - go to the clips
then when he is exposed again
he can betray the clips...
riders can blame those teams and continue to ride him to all other teams he quits on
sure- ok
this ain't Spurs Kawhi. 2017 Spurs Kawhi was the best defender as well as one of the best offensive players in the NBA and was able to play both sides on an elite level. Remember when he nailed that 3 on the Rockets then went and blocked Harden on the other end? That player was the best player in the NBA and doesn't exist anymore.
Who is he locking down on defense so far in these playoffs? 2019 Kawi has a DBPM of 0.1 in the Playoffs. Steals, Blocks and Assist numbers are all down, yet turnovers and minutes are up. Media can hype him up as much as they want to, he's not nealry on the same level.
2017 PER 31.5 WS/48 .314 OBPM 8.7 DBPM 2.6 BPM 11.4 3P% 45.5
2019 PER 29.4 WS/48 .264 OBPM 8.2 DBPM 0.1 BPM 8.3 3P% 38.8
He's still elite, but he's not the monster he was in 2017 and I think he doesn't really care about it, he and his team want the glamour and the media accolades. They want that hype to build his "brand". So as long as this is the Kawhi we see from now on, he's not gon be that big of a problem. He didn't lock down anybody, all he is is a super efficient scorer with mediocre passing ability
I disagree. I think the Spurs this year would’ve been better than the Raptors have been if we kept Kawhi. Honestly with Durant getting hurt, we had the pieces to beat Golden St. And I never said LMA would carry the Spurs, I just said he would help share the load. Say what you want about LMA but he’s better than playoff Lowry.
if Kawhi signs with the Clippers then that’s great. It has no bearing on my post once so ever. I just said he had to play for us for one more year and never mentioned him re-signing with us.
He has had a fantastic playoff run overall but his legs are gone man. His 3 is broken bc he isn’t getting the proper lift on his shots. I mean the dude had 2 points in a 4th quarter of a game they were winning. It’s obvious that his stamina is shot. He has run into a real team and has no idea what to do. When you watch him play, it looks like he has no chemistry with his teammates. He doesn’t know how to rally the troops (in Toronto).
1. He rested alot of regular season games because he's trying to prevent injury in his contract year. You really think he's preserving himself so he can play better in the playoffs?
2. He wanted to be in LA, not Toronto. And yes what you said are all facts. He carried his team the first 2 rounds. His teammates sucks and Nick Nurse is the worst coach in the NBA. Check his stats against the Magic and Philly, see how little help he had from his supporting cast(kyle lowry)
Coach Bud will not be out-coached by a guy who wears a hat with his own logo.

Why would a rookie NBA coach think he's even earned the right to even have a ing logo.
Probably came from uncle bwo New Balance
Durant probably comes back by the finals. And in a 7 game series thanks to that clown pulling the biggest move ever in the NBA, it is just so hard to beat the Warriors. Practically impossible..
