It has been this way since Bird's Celtics in the EC (L)eastern Conference aka JV Conference. Nothing new
You guys need to show Raptors some more respect. 19 Raptors had a great season and a great playoff run, with outstanding performance from Kawhi, Lowry, VanVleet, Siakam, Nurse, Ujiri. West is stronger than the east sure I agree. But KDless Warriors swept WCF, and they were down 1-3 when they forcefully brought back KD in game 5, in which ended up winning by just 1 point.
All true, that said Worriers were still favorites when all of them were healthy. As shown in the bubble, I think they could have beaten the Celtics if they played like last year. There is nothing wrong acknowledging both Raps and Warriors that year.
You do realize that before Klay tore his acl in game 5 he was already injured. He missed game 3 with a hamstring injury. Basically didn't play healthy all series.
**** the GS acknowledgement, as many injured teams as they beat on the way to titles. Including ours.
teams luck out with injuries on opposing teams. happens almost every year with championship teams. that year when mergady got injured and the rox with yao just barely lost to the lakers was epical. i think the rox would have won it had mergady been healthy and history would've been different and tinman would praise our savior.
I hope we can steal batum out from underneath the clippers . I’m sure it’s vet min he’s getting (as Charlotte is paying him too and he can’t get more than a certain amount unless lac is paying him 9+ mil) cant we sell him on a better opportunity here? He gets to backup PG and at best if he plays really well be in their death lineup) but won’t LA still start zubac and ibaka , PG and Kawhi and then a pg ?Load management support specialist. Here we could throw him the starting 3 spot or 4 if you (like me) want to put pj back on the bench and lower his minutes . imo Houston would a better place to show off all of his potential and get open shots from harden . Or if he wants a role off the bench we can give him that here too . Can James sell him on h-town nightlife too ?
If only James didn't scream trade me. Players don't want to sign with a team with so much uncertainty. The money will be the same except Batum wont know who he would be playing with or where he would be playing in March even if he makes the playoffs
so turns out logo has been dealing under the table all along as he built those great teams in the past
