    We don't need to worry about Durant being out. Our genius coach will have the team prepared and ready to win

    There's players, coaches and teams that consistently make things happen for the better... then there's players, coaches and teams that things consistently tend to happen to for the worse.

    Our ways, decisions and actions lead us to be where we end up year after year after year.

    In a moment like this, you want your coach to exude positivity and confidence - you want him to believe in his guys, so they can believe in themselves. But does anyone really think Ime is doing that right now?

    Tari Eason randomly becoming Jalen Brown for 2 weeks is our last hope.

    The line up they should use is Holiday, Reed, Amen, Jabari and Sengun.

    Ime will never do it of course.

    KD missed one game due to injury the entire regular season.

    He's already doubled that number only 3 games into the first round.

    100% to all of this. You think you can outrun the Lakers, but any fast break with Tari in it is a turnover waiting to happen.
