    Winning an NBA championship is hard, Cuban has it right. It's not the coaching staff's fault that their peak strategy and talent pool wouldn't be able to overcome the Clippers humming along at 75%. Better off looking at making player moves as it's clearly Luka time right now.

    Porzingis played like his knees hurt.

    porzingus was better last year. he is getting paid superstar money but impact of a role player. they don't need a new coach they need to find a way to upgrade the roster. they probably should have kept seth curry.

    So we don’t give the unicorn a break because the coach has asked him to spread the floor and not post up (takes the ball away from you know who).

    ??

    Porzingis sucks at posting up…he was in the 59th percentile on post ups during the regular season, and was a pathetic .75 points per possession on postups in this series…that’s barely higher than Westbrook’s PPP on Iso’s these playoffs, and Russ shot 33% from the field

    Kristaps can't post up. He's terrible at it.

    Clippers have more overall talent, but Luka was the best player on the floor and Carlisle was the best coach.

    Very hard for one-star teams to win these days. Makes what Trae Young has done even more impressive to me.

    Kawhi was the best player. Defense matters.

    bro I think CP could stand his ground against KP posting up. I had tore acl just like Kristaps and I see he is playing it safe with one leg jumping and change of direction.. he is done this can't happen at pro level. Every time he didn't have 2 legs take off for a layup/dunk he stopped his penetration for some bullshit pull-up and when he was brave enough to take 2 steps he did it without force at like 30% just so his leg won't hurt. He shouldn't pass rehab tests to pro level playing like that
