    You’ve gotten worse at trying to argue you’re points _holic. Your losing your grip on your debate techniques and prowess’s. That plus being senile and it seems your 50s aren’t treating you well.

    I wish you better health going forward.

    Not gonna pretend i read the first 5 pages. Just my response to LMM quote:

    Time to trust that sh*t bro. If you re-injure it, oh well.

    Yes, you should sit out if you let things get into your head. I feel bad for Luc, but his defense was desperately needed.

    Every time he comes in he's an immediate liability on offense as the Warriors have no need to stay close to him and can help on defense against Harden or Paul. It might be time to unleash Iso Joe.

    At this point Joe will give us another dimension on the offensive side with his post

    KD faced Capela up and destroyed him. Capwla can't defend him. So Javale....Capela......what difference....

    I never said they were the key to stopping the Dubs. What I said was there was no difference.in their defense and Capela's. Although Bogut st his advanced age is still a very good defender, probably better than Capela in set defense.

    If he has doubts in his physical ability, his confidence is unreliable. At least he's honest about it and said something. Give his minutes to Green and Joe.

    And you are using literally zero plays to make your point that he was a “non-factor”, since you can’t point to a play in which he was supposed to do something and didn’t do it.

    No. I'm using all of them. All of them. He was a non-factor. And will likely continue to be a non-factor since we already know running pick-and-roll against Draymond is playing right in to their wheelhouse. You combine that lack of offensive spacing (he's essentially standing around as a garbage man on offense, while letting Draymond be a detriment to any drivers and convolute the paint) with his mediocre rim defense....And he's anon-factor.

    Because of the lack of pick-and-roll and the hindrances that adds to our offense....He has to be super good defensively to warrant bring a positive contributor to winning against the Warriors. It's not there. And he's only going to get worse as they continue to wear him down physically.

    LMM can't sit out, the matchups are razor thin even with adjustments. He just has to push a little harder beyond his comfort zone.

    I wish we could give him some guarantee that he'd be taken care of in case he reinjures his shoulder, but that's all on him to decide.

    its pretty clear moute's mindset is still not playing freely and likely very cautious bc of his shoulder. hes thinking way too much and playing to avoid contact on those easy baskets at the rim. the shots hes missing are being spoon fed.

    eventually hes going to need to get passed that bc hou needs his spot minutes of the bench. after the first two games, it doesn't look good though and if he plays like that he doesn't need to be in the game. need the positive vibes sent to LMM!

    Even during garbage time he couldn't make a layup. Something might be wrong with his shoulder.

    He made his last layup, he has turned the corner.

    What an absolutely ridiculous take. Capela once again last night successfully defended Curry on the perimeter and Durant on the perimeter.

    Can Capela consistently lock down either of those guys? Of course not. He does however have a chance on them, something that none of other the centers on either team except Draymond can say.

    In the last round, Capela's ability to guard the perimeter was huge and he frequently got switched onto Joe Ingles and nerfed him.

    Now I do grant you that Draymond negates Capela offensively.

    Your anti-Capela hate is out of control.
