    Hope Lakers can have full team for Houston testing. Sign back Michael Beasley and Gerald Green can fix all problems

    What's BS is you forgot that amazing small ball team almost lost to OKC and got destroyed by the Lakers in the second round. Even if you excuse getting hammered by Big Ball AD and Lebron if their defense is so elite why'd a young ass OKC team with CrippleP3 take them to 7 games?

    Switch all defense is not sustainable it is amazing when players' legs are fresh but when they are tired they lose concentration and focus and our offense takes a hit cuz guess what hitting 3s requires a lot of energy. Simple is good because when the going gets tough all those fancy Xs and Os are hard to execute having a complicated switch all defense is a recipe for disaster when everybody has tired legs and refs aren't calling every foul they see. You have to look at things in real life situation not just in a vacuum.

    When's the last small ball team that won a championship? And pls don't say Hamptons 5 cuz KD is freaking 7'1 and Iggy is 6'8, Klay is 6'6 and Steph Curry is 6'3. They are an average height team if you consider Draymond's 6'7 height is decent for a small forward.

    Is it me or does Boogie look extremely unhappy on the bench?

    I hope he doesn’t quit on us because of Ego....

    I don’t like his body language or lack of energy on the bench...

    Maybe I’m over reacting?

    KD is 6'10

    Iggy is 6'6

    Draymond is 6'6

    These are official NBA measurements from last season.

    Switch everything defense is what took GSW to 7 games when that team was at its absolute peak potency.

    Why do you have to lie to try and make a point?

    There aren't official NBA measurements every year genius these are just regurgitated from their draft combine stats. These players grow an inch or two after getting drafted esp for guys like KD who were extremely young. Tmac for example grew to 6'10.

    How can Iggy be 6'6 when as an 18 yr old he is listed as 6'7? He shrunk in 2020? Add shoes he is 6'8
    http://www.draftexpress.com/profile/Andre-Iguodala-2918/

    Here is KD saying he is 7'0 with sneakers on.
    https://www.slamonline.com/nba/kevin-durant-finally-admits-hes-7-feet-tall/

    Draymond Green is 6'5 1/4 without shoes add shoes he is over 6'6.

    You really think Iguadala and Draymond Green are the same height? STFU.

    Tell me how there are official NBA height for players every year? Do they measure every player's height before season starts? If you can't then STFU. Why you always lie to make a point?

    Maybe you should STFU and do your due diligence.

    You dont even know that the NBA officially re-measured all NBA players last season.

    The current heights on NBA.com are the most up to date accurate measurement of players without shoes.

    LOL

    Your ignorance is hilarious.

    Do they play barefoot?

    Let's assume you are correct and KD is 6'10. How d hell is that small ball? If you think 6'10 is small ball then what about Tucker who is 6'6?

    You are the dumbest MFer on CF, I cant believe I thought you were worth having basketball discussions with at one time.

    Even after you've been educated, you lack the character or wherewithal to admit you were wrong.

    You were wrong and cannot admit you were pushing disinformation to further your point.

    Nah what's hilarious is you are missing the point as always.

    OK let's say you are correct and I'm wrong, I didn't know the players were remeasured before season started. I'll even give you that GSW was indeed a small ball team? How does that detract from my point? The only small ball team who won a ring had 3 of the best shooters in NBA history and had 4 all stars? OMG that's definitely an indictment that small ball is better than big ball.

    How does that detract from my point at all? You think Tucker/RoCo/Green is comparable to KD/Iggy/Dray?

    Maybe if you bothered to read before you typed you'd see I already said I was wrong and didn't know players got remeasured.

    How was I pushing disinformation on something I didn't know? KD going from 7'1 to 6'10 doesn't push my point either way both are taller than 6'6 PJ Tucker LMAO.

    You agree you'd rather have Tucker and Roco over Cousins and Wood?

    What's RoCo doing on Portland again?

    SMH.
