    Honestly, I'd take 5 Jabaris; he can shoot, block shots, play defense 1-5 and dribble.

    He'll be gone in the offseason but back in the Fall. Who are they going to trade him for? There's nobody out there worthwhile. KD is old and overvalued. Book, contract is too high. Who?

    If he bombs in this series, it is what it is. I look at it as their first Playoff Series going against a veteran team....EVERY YOUNG TEAM HAS TO TAKE THEIR LUMPS.

    Shaq and Kobe's Lakers, MJs Bulls, Hakeem's Rockets.

    Maybe this guy should look up FVV's career playoff stats.

    He averaged 4.2ppg in 10 minutes per game and shot 39% from the field, dished out 1.3 assists in his first 13 playoff games (over two years) barely earning the right to get on the court. His team sucked, they went 3-10 in the games he played.

    For his career in the playoffs he's averaged 10 points and 3.5 assists. On 38.5% from the field. Other than being a microwave bench scorer backing up Kyle Lowry, he's been absolutely atrocious in the playoffs.

    One of these guys is 32 and getting paid $40m. The other is 23 and getting paid $12m. They both sucked in game 1, and yes that's more concerning for Fred who was brought here precisely to be a role model for guys like Green in pressure situations.

    So let Mr. Kural know he needs to hit the books before he compares FVV's 53rd playoff game to Jalen's first.

    With all due respect to my Turkish brother of course.

    I could be WRONG but I think what he was saying was FVV played bad but Jalen was played wrong. Meaning Jalen was played wrong by the coach?

    Draymond pushed Amen into Butler. Why am I not surprised?

    Great start and great response to a poor game 1 so far. 3 more quarters like this would be lovely.

    Jalen Green currently going off against the Dubs. Nice bounce-back game from him.

    That Jimmy Butler injury unleashed Jalen, he was getting locked down prior.
