Yeah i mean just raw talent.

Personally I didn't think he was ever going to be an All NBA level player.

Ja and Ant have accomplished way more but they've also had way better squads.

One of the best conditioned players in the league.

Saw him in Portland last spring. Sat center court, few rows up. He is an insane player to watch in person up close. I was literally, like, "how does this dude do this?"

Been that. Remember the 4 OT playoff game in Portland?

Charles Lee ran basically a 7 man rotation to lose to THE BUCKS?

A fun trip down memory lane is looking at the East records from the 2000s. No wonder some of those teams won titles. They had a cake walk to the finals and were rested. The West was a bloodbath every year. I think the 8th seed in the west had 50 wins twice in the mid-2000s to early 2010s.

That 2015 year was insane. The spurs were the defending champions with 55 wins…as a 6 seed. Playing the 56 win clippers as a 3 seed.

Meanwhile, in the East….

An early sign on how much of a **** up coach Doc Rivers would be, is when he let a 37 win Hawks team take his 66 win team Celtics to 7 games in 2008

Thinking back further, Doc blowing that 3-1 lead with Tmac against Detroit was the firs sign. That’s the year they went to 7 game series in the first round, and I remember T Mac in the post game conference joking that he wished it was like before

Injuries.

Miles out. Mann out. Richards out. Mark out. That’s 2 starters and 2 backups.

Not much you can do at that point, especially with a bench that’s lacking. Tidjane Salaun shouldn’t be playing heavy minutes like he is, but here we are.

That’s also how you get Lamelo shooting 36 times

Somebody gotta do it and he certainly doesn’t have a problem with it.
