    It will speak volumes about how good and bad a general manager Daryl Morey can be.

    That is a more than sad narrative you have for him as a player. I don’t know how to answer because it is the same either way. An absence, excuse, or moral victory all look same.

    I think the same way. We were there with all the pieces in place. Last year’s OKC series was more of the same.

    If Morey had been able to snag Wood as he planned, OKC series would have been a sweep.

    Harden-EGo-RoCo-PJ-Wood

    With Green, House and BMAC off the bench.

    Russ or no Russ, OKC would have been routed and Lakers series would have been so much more competitive.

    It’s a done deal. We can blame Harden, Tilly, Morey, whoever. Also can blame media and fans including the infamous Lin fans. Imagine carrying a team every year to face a super team that can focus on you and being labeled a choker. Imagine being judged for your career based on winning a ring. Best chance was 2018 but CP3 went down. Then Tilly ducked tax and the message was sent, even CP3 checked out he’s not dumb. Harden saw how to do it. AD and Butler forced their way out. Durant showed if you can’t beat em join em. If you think a team can beat a super team operating way above the tax threshold that has those names on it you are mistaken. Maybe warriors next year will get a third star but that’s about it. So who’s to blame? It actually makes more sense to hope they win now and dismantle. That would come from the owner cutting back plus a star like Kyrie might retire.

    With Harden, Paul, Capela & company, IMO, we would beat the Lakers. We just imploded. The players, coach & management team where all in place. The smartest man in the room was Les, because he knew when to sale high.

    Tilly said he never stands pat because he knows shet. CP3 trade was all Tilly. Period.

    Well, let us say he was very optimistic that they would turn out to be a lot more than they did IRL.

    It still stings seeing how Paul is taking a less talented team to the NBA finals.

    Harden is cursed, he won't be making out of the second round. That's what happens when you take the easy way out.
