Re: Load Management

As long as yall equally give LM credit for playing a role in TOR winning a ring as you do for give LM blame for LAC being beaten, cool. Keep it up.

But that takes a level of consistency that most sports fans don't possess.

OKC is the obvious answer

If they move CP3 for sure

But that’s what everyone thought last year as well.

Blazers are expected to rise with a healthy Nurkic

If Luka and KP can stay healthy Mavs could be a top 4 team

Also need to consider what Pop can do with the Spurs.

Memphis is on the rise as well

Suns and Book if he can make another step up

We’re also waiting to see what a healthy Zion and Ingram can do.

Not saying GSW won’t make it, but someone has to lose out.

West is pretty deep.

He won't even be top 5 next season. That body isn't going to hold up, unfortunately.

Gonna be magnificent when he realizes he wont be successful again as the main star and comes to the real LA squad to join Bron and AD to be the number 3 he needs to be

I mean Kawhi has to do it but he was breaking down as last years playoffs progressed as well. His percentages dropped pretty much every series. What was the difference with TOR is that the rest of the team had been together/had continuity and weren't load managing. Clippers had no regard for any type of chemistry whatsoever. Everybody was load managing/in and out of the lineup. I said it back on the trade deadline day when they acquired all those guys.

Kawhi slander? After the man still averaged about 28 in the playoffs. Clearly y’all were threatened by him ****tin on Bron’s legacy AGAIN but with advent of Lebron winning this title under lucky circumstances comes the possibility of Lebron losing another NBA title on the biggest stage... there’s something here for everyone :Nthat

antidope · Sep 17, 2020

If anything he started breaking down earlier than last year's playoffs. Games every other day effect him more than any other player. It is what it is at this point. After this contract is fully over I expect him to hang it up.

not only will the warriors be in next year's playoffs, they will be the #1 seed & will start off as underdogs going into the season - it's gonna be a 2015 type of a vibe. i suggest putting $$$ down before it starts.

that sounds good but how much you putting down?
$100 they dont have a better record than the lakers

Was this the narrative when the Lakers failed to make the playoffs last year? Or do you still believe Lebron’s groin injury was a factor? Lol I expect him to magically hurt himself again once he sees defeat coming.

Lmao the audacity of being a fan of a team that hasn’t seen the playoffs in over half a decade calling anything flabby and sick :lol

Not sure how anything is reallyindisputable outside of Jordan being #1.

Yea but at this point Jordan being #1 is widely accepted.

LeBron being #2 is a bigger sell.
