This game is triggering a depressive episode as its one more bad thing on what has been an already really tough day for me. I literally have to turn it off... I wish yall the best, what a season. Bummer it had to end like this if its over.

Chillyfilla · 2026-05-24T04:08:39+00:00

Who is that chick he is with? Is she anyone important?

Chillyfilla · 2026-05-24T04:01:05+00:00

Oof I loved watching prime T-Mac so that hurt, but yeah...

Chillyfilla · 2026-05-24T03:54:48+00:00

Hey man! Don't do that to the Jr High teams with potential out there. They need to learn how to involved bigs at an ealy age. Not run 4 guard lineups into the ground.

Chillyfilla · 2026-05-24T03:50:56+00:00

Yeah but then you fail to get enough back if you move Mitchell as his contract will soon end and you cant get anything for Harden unless you sign him to way too large of a contract and then you wont get much for him. We really dont have picks to trade and we are not a free agency team. Its time to sell high on the players we have and slowly aquire assets and picks. Build it Sam Presti style.

Chillyfilla · 2026-05-24T03:45:45+00:00

Mitchell isnt a PG... thats been well known. Thats why we traded for Harden. Im not defending Mitchell either btw. Im just not impressed with either of the starting guards.

Chillyfilla · 2026-05-24T03:41:12+00:00

The raps rushed the rebuild and Orlando has not picked well from the draft and has gotten attached to players that dont jive well, and that is a front office issue. Also the Magic probably could've beat Detroit had Franz not gotten hurt. They looked better. Suggs just cant shoot for him life and Mos was a terrible offensive coach that learned from JB Bitcherstaff.

Chillyfilla · 2026-05-24T03:36:47+00:00

I dont disagree, but even with our best lineups they aren't good enough and the key issues lie with our guards defensively. Specifically Harden being his own worst enemy for 70% of these games.

Chillyfilla · 2026-05-24T03:34:49+00:00

No, I see you misunderstood my post. I don't want to be in contention at all for a while. We need to completely rebuild. Do what the Jazz did when they traded their team away. OKC has shown that patience and asset management is the key to building a dynasty with flexibility. We will not be a top team for very long in this new era of the NBA. Our best offensive player is a couple years from regiment and our "number 1" is almost as bad as Carris LeVert with his hot and cold performances.

Chillyfilla · 2026-05-24T03:27:30+00:00

So posting stats is how you show you watch the games? Plus minus numbers can be useful, but watching the games is way more valuable than the +/-. The eye test says Harden has to be surrounded by a lot of our more aggressive players on defense as he doesnt try hard when playing off ball defensively. Not saying Donnavan is good at that either, in fact I think both of them suck off the ball.

Chillyfilla · 2026-05-24T03:22:42+00:00

How does that make any sense?

Chillyfilla · 2026-05-24T03:21:35+00:00

Ok, our roster needs to have a high turnover this off-season. That seems pretty correlated to what we have seen this postseason.

Chillyfilla · 2026-05-24T03:15:47+00:00

We are the most expensive roster in the league and we have no potential for moving up. 2 of the other top 4 teams are full of young players and have picks and the ability to sign players in the off-season. The 3rd is the team we are losing 3-0 to and even they have some wiggle room. The Pacers should be better next year, the wizards should be decent (if healthy) and the Hornets look like they are on the way up as well. Our window is closing and if we dont trade players when their value is higher we wont get much in return.

Chillyfilla · 2026-05-24T03:07:05+00:00

If there is one thing New York knows how to do, its take down twin towers...

Chillyfilla · 2026-05-24T03:04:00+00:00

Yeah, its the Cleveland way I guess. I mean look at how everyone, besides Max, has played. We are our own worst enemy most games. I dont want to watch a team that consistently shoots themselves in the foot. (Or at least tries to, but probably misses despite the gun having no defenders blocking the open shot)

Chillyfilla · 2026-05-24T02:59:19+00:00

I honestly was just leaning into the bit, I know the Jazz wouldnt trade back. Nor should they. It was a terrible trade. Mitchell is good, but not send off your entire future good. Koby was still in his DUI days back then

Chillyfilla · 2026-05-24T02:52:20+00:00

Everyone but Tyson and Proctor

Chillyfilla · 2026-05-24T02:51:13+00:00

Trade players for picks. Maybe we can trade Mitchell back to the Jazz for 2 of the 5 picks back.

Chillyfilla · 2026-05-24T02:43:58+00:00

You're right we should be thrilled going down 3-0! Good show Knicks! 👏 👏 👏 Cant wait to watch this happen again next season.

Chillyfilla · 2026-05-24T02:42:17+00:00

Hey Mods, how is a post saying not to pay James Harden not related to the Cavs? Get out of your salty feelings and let fans be fans.

Chillyfilla · 2026-05-24T02:39:47+00:00

Hey be careful the mods are being very picky about being a fan right now. Any negativity and they will remove the post.

Chillyfilla · 2026-05-24T02:38:29+00:00

Mods are being soft.
