Milwaukee is a very likeable team, and probably the best team

That’s my pick as well

I love Monty, but CP3 has done that thing he does everywhere and turn his team into little versions of him, and makes me root against them.

Push comes to shove I’d probably even take GS and Draymond’s dirty arse over the Suns now.

It is scary if the Warriors win. They are loaded and have pieces to get even better for years to come. Need them to lose and panic, making a huge move that blows up in their faces. Otherwise they could be dominating for the next 5 years..

This might be a dumb question, but what if Bucks and Lakers picks are both lottery in 2024, can we only swap ours with one of them?

We own the Lakers 24 (or 25 pick), it's not a swap. In your scenario, we would just swap with the Bucks.

I'm not sure they will ever be the powerhouse they were at their peak, but they will be contenders for quite a while.

And the team essentially taking a couple years off to reload with high draft picks is the key.

It's why I always shake my head at people that shortsightedly immediately rationalize giving away all your picks for short term gap fillers the moment a team starts winning.

The Pels have a similar path laid out for them and it is specifically because of the 8 pick this year and potentially at least a couple more top 10 picks in the next 3-5 years to go with them.

Oh ok.. in that case I'd like to see Milwaukee win it all, Giannis win finals mvp, and then decide to call it a day and move to Greece

I think the suns might sweep the Mavs.

If the refs don’t frick us. I think there’s a real good chance we’re in the WCF.

It is very easy to quickly hate a team after you play them in a playoff series. It wouldn't have mattered who we played, most people will end up hating them and not want them to win ever again.

Yeah CP3 is a little bitch, but if he was on our team you'd still love him, and i still want to see him win a ring.

other than that, i don't mind Milwaukee winning again, although i'd much rather Miami win it all since i placed one of my $50 free bets on them to win it all back in February and i would really enjoy the $750 winnings from that.

they literally have no one that can defend the 5 position outside of undersized Draymond. I don't think they could beat us in a 7 game series right now, and definitely not with Zion. They sure as shite couldn't beat a healthy 76ers team, or a healthy Denver team, or Milwaukee.
They are doing what they always do, having fun, making highlight step back 3's and what not and everyone thinks they are greatest thing in the world just b/c of highlights, all while playing an severely depleted Denver team, and now a Memphis team with no low post presence.
No one will ever out small ball them, and when they finally play that team with some presence down low and enough perimeter players to take advantage of Pool and Curry's defense, they'll get whipped. But i will say, with how they shoot they can beat anyone on any given night.

I dont think that's an unsolvable problem given the assets and young players they have though.

They could bundle a first and Wiseman and filler and probably get a Myles Turner and solve that issue.

Or Wiseman himself continues to develop on the Hayes-like trajectory he's been on and it solves itself.

I want the bucks or warriors to win it. Mostly because those are the two teams I took a future bet on months ago. Will cash out a few hundred if it happens.

Jrue Holiday will play his 60th career playoff game tonight. He's 1 of 6 players with 1000+ PTS, 300+ REB, 400+ AST, and 50+ STL within their first 60 playoff games:

Michael Jordan
LeBron James
Clyde Drexler
Magic Johnson
Jason Kidd

You must understand this poster is betting on LeBron playing center for the Warriors next year.

OP: Heat Bucks and Dubs

You keep bringing this up. At the time, it looked like James was going to force his way out (he still might). The Warriors played this season with Looney at Center. Then they used Kuminga at Center as well, with pretty good success. So it's not strange for them to go smaller at Center.

They need to open a spot for Poole next year. So they can move Wiggins, Wiseman and maybe Moody (I saw people say that Kuminga is almost untouchable for them now) to add a big piece. Especially if they get knocked out early. James and Green are super tight. If James were to move, the Warriors would be where he wants to go. He played Center for the Lakers this year (where they had some of their best success). It all fits to me. Doesn't look like it's going to happen. But I like talking about it. It's a fun rumor.

If the Warriors get knocked out this round or next, changes are coming. They spent like 300M on this roster and they aren't going to hold pat. Who else could they go after? The other popular one I just saw is Gobert. Is he a better fit than James?

When someone says something astronomically stupid, it discredits them. So when you post, people should be reminded of that. Much like your shitting on Ingram. You will be reminded of what a dumbass you are.

I skipped the rest of the post.

Yeah. I've decided to not let this pass anymore. I've let you chase me out of threads and not engage, cause I did not want to get people thrown off the site.

But seasons over and the time has passed. You can't help yourself and will go too far. You are on the edge already. You really think it's ok to personally attack people?

You wanted my attention. Now you have it. You won't last the month. I don't even have to do anything to get it done. You will do all the work for me.

Thank you..
