    Would you look at that another team makes 12 threes and there in the game at the end and they won.

    Warriors 7-7 a .500 ball club when teams make threes against them.

    Ya Morey harden and MDA know what there doing.

    Rockets are trend setting along with the Cavs.

    Hopefully we can clear him from the books and sign somone. Would would have 19-20mil to spend if we can clear his contract which shouldn't be hard to do.

    I love Ariza but I'm with you, he's the weak link and knowing how Morey operates hes not going to hang onto him to much longer because I'm sure he sees what we do.

    Only thing I disagree with you on is I don't think we're overachieving. I think we are this team. I think we'll be even better next season. We've lost more games we should have won than won and we should have lost imo.

    I think this is a bonafide 55-60 win team and I truely think we'll be better next season with added growth from Capela and dekker and adding another piece with atleast 12-13m in space and maybe more if we trade Ariza.

    We don't have to beat the Pacers. We just need to have a team flexible enough to take out Memphis, strong enough to beat the Spurs and lucky enough to put down the Warriors.

    i get the plan, but we still need a beast rebounder. i agree only teams with a slight chance are teams that can match them on offense. there really is no defending this squad as far as holding them under 100. even the best defensive teams would only be able to do it once in a 7 game series. any team can get tight and feel the pressure when the other team is matching them shot for shot. they play more hero ball late when other teams are scoring against them.

    Phase one of the plan is nearly complete, take Durant out of the equation. Phase two will be a little trickier as we now need to find a way to obtain some Dmo butt sweat.

    Well what if they don't fall like the Indy game?

    Ariza has been on regression mode since the 2015 season ended. It has not been a steep decline but enough to be worried about his long term place as a starter.

    If you have four games in a series where they don't fall then you lose.

    The point of the strategy is that if you tried to play them in a straight up game of normal offense you'd lose anyway. This at least gives you a chance.

    And I do hope to see Calderon, Lou, e.g., harden, and Anderson on the floor a few minutes a game, just to see which team (us or them) score 20 points in 30 seconds first.

    That lineup could make the pacers bench look like MJ and Pippin. Then again, it still may outscore them.

    I don't wanna hear about beating GS until we get another big that can rebound like a man. Right now we're giving up too many 2nd chance points it's embarrassing. This is the part of the game Morey can't input into his calculator. Go get a bigman, A REAL bigman (not a 6'8 undersized PF) that is not afraid to bang. I don't wanna hear about jacking up more 3's or hypotheticals of how we can magically "get hot" and beat GS.

    The game plan is to win 4 games, not 3, not 2, not 1.
