    0-4 in series against the Warriors says otherwise. Its about winning the series, not playing the most games against them.

    If those 3 are not the best in nba,

    The bench needs to be 50% better than raptors, 76ers and bucks. Trade Paul for 1 starter, 3 benches.

    There are so many problems with our team, we've taken leaps back from last year since CP3 has declined so heavily.

    Our coach is fine with just a pure ISO system and our owner is afraid to pay for anything that isn't concrete.

    Morey keeps giving out bad contracts shackling us from acquiring actual good role players. I wouldn't be surprised if we start out the season poorly again and have to wonder if it's better to just start over.

    Why does this even need to be stated. We can relocate this team with how many goal posts people move. People need to hang up their “we almost beat the warriors!” Badge of honor. Including morley

    Messed up by not drafting Kawhi? So did, what, 14 other teams? Hell, the Pacers traded him.

    Insert name of each best player, GM and coach for every Western Conference team currently.

    A lot of trading and firing should go down this summer.

    Would give them one more Offseason to prove themselves......get r done!

    Would disclose the direction they are going and if they are still wasting any title window.

    I feel bad for Toronto though... there will be the same asterisk that many give us arguing that the Warriors were too hurt. Heck even when Cleveland beat a less than 100% Steph (Dmo butt sweat), excuses were made.

    At this point its fair to say that Lowry,siakim and gasol are better than our guys.If we had them vs goldenstate we possibly beat them .

    Agree on MDA

    Not sure on Morey and James

    It might be true for James going forward . He will be 30 and will start to need more help around him if we want to get it done .

    That's where Morey will have to step up

    What is our overall talent ranking in the league ?

    What about next year ? A lot of FA decisions could shake things up .

    BOS , NY , Nets , LAC , LAL

    But not all of those teams will get 2 max players

    GS , MIL , Philly , TOR could all lose pieces .

    Conservatively , if we stand pat ... we would probably still be a top 5 squad in terms of overall talent . Harden is that good , CP3 is still gonna be a top 25 player . Clint , Eric and PJ are objectively above average starter level .

    It's unfortunate that our 14-15 run and 17-18 run were both hampered by injury .

    This year was just unfortunate

    No they won't, lol

    Warriors still had three all-stars to Toronto's one in all of one game in this series so far

    Nobody astericks the Warriors first championship when Kyrie AND Love were out for the whole series

    Those same arguments effect the warriors in 14-15

    Everything has context . At the end of the day , a ring is a ring

    Feel bad? Hell no.

    You would take that opportunity. Oh wait, the Rockets did have that chance with no Durant and still couldn't win. Pathetic.

    Since before Durant got there in 2016 ...16 of the 18 players who suited up for the Rockets were no longer with the team as of October 2018.

    But sure, go ahead let's count KJ McDaniel era Rockets against 2019 Raptors because f-cking internet reasons man, that's why.

    Excuses are one of the most hindering crutches.

    Only one of those years was the rockets squad “not good enough”. And all those years they have been led by the same star player. Two of those series losses happen to be in the WCF. I see you trying to low key sneak some stuff Sam ; )

    The Raptors have a better record without Kawhi
    Do you think the Rockets manage that for over 20 games???

    Until then.......
