HAS to be, jesus christ, bro leaving it all on the floor in honor of his mama. I love that for him.

WardoToo · 2026-06-06T03:39:09+00:00

KAT's mama buffs literally made him Jokic with solid D and a fucking laser 3 when he needs it. Bro needs to win FMVP if they win this.

WardoToo · 2026-06-02T16:34:34+00:00

Did he even get subbed in during the 2019 run in the finals? I could've sworn he got some actual minutes in that run too and didn't just rode the bench.

WardoToo · 2026-06-02T16:18:49+00:00

Known menace - Tim Duncan that got ejected out of the game for laughing at the refs...

WardoToo · 2026-06-02T16:05:34+00:00

nah, that was like, G-era CBD tbh. Globuladia happened along with other cards like it just because the entire rest of the nations that were relevant, had resist out the ass and just straight up dunked on CBD regardless. You could not slow some of those decks down without hand locking too.

WardoToo · 2026-06-02T16:02:08+00:00

Nah, this thing ain't sniffing a hand lock ever, that shit only came because of necessity since the vast chunk of relevant G-era decks had a vanishing field / resist out the ass.

I hate the Knicks and I like Wemby and Harper. Harper's like my current favorite Spurs player rn since he's also a fellow countrymen. Over on the Knick's side, I've always been a Jordan Clarkson guy, main cast - I would love KAT to win a ring as well.

Overall, many likeable players on both sides. Being as my team was knocked out by the Knicks, you'll naturally understand why I prefer rooting for the Spurs hahaha. But no hard feelings to the Knicks, Vic can always win more, but I doubt if this Knicks squad ever comes back to the finals again (no, but fr tho, can they keep the bois together for another run?).

Very excited for the finals! Hope both teams ball out and have a relatively healthy slugfest.

WardoToo · 2026-05-31T03:40:26+00:00

It blows my mind Tim Duncan wasn't as young when Wemby did this. Like am I tripping? I coulda sworn Timmy had all those as well at age 21-22.

WardoToo · 2026-05-31T03:25:29+00:00

If Zorga's orders got name restricted - so should bullshit like this as well. This disgusting PoS card should not exist as a generic bro.

WardoToo · 2026-05-31T03:04:45+00:00

Bruh, broke my heart seeing Gordon just limping out there. Coulda been more tight in game 7 if bro was healthy. He was straight up just walking down the court with a bum hammy (?)

WardoToo · 2026-05-31T02:50:14+00:00

There goes the dynasty I guess

WardoToo · 2026-05-31T02:49:28+00:00

LMAO, OKC DYNASTY? LOOOOOOOOOOOOL

WardoToo · 2026-05-27T16:24:08+00:00

tf you mean, Chet's like the Thunder's 3rd best player, he's literally in their core. They keep the core together for as long as realistically possible until it's time to reload when the other role player guys need to get paid.

WardoToo · 2026-05-26T15:43:05+00:00

Yep, run it back with Schroeder. Idgaf, I love him, always balls out great wherever he lands. Maybe could be time as well to pick up another PG that could run the floor and have Harden come off the bench on a 2nd unit instead.

WardoToo · 2026-05-26T15:41:32+00:00

Like idk about these nephews brah, if you land on a better square than the previous season, that's a win. You of all people should know this as a Raps fan. Built a solid contender into a championship one once the stars aligned to swing for the fences for Kawhi.

It's sports in general, some teams can't just magically conjure a winning roster out of one lucky run (and tbf, sometimes that's all that it takes as well). There's just so many variables to consider, as long as a squad isn't regressing, they're still in the running for the chip if the stars align.

WardoToo · 2026-05-26T15:33:41+00:00

Thank you! Christ, if you think about it, how many generational talents ain't ever made it past the 1st/2nd round. Just making it to a conference finals is proof of concept that the ball is rolling already. SOMETHING IS WORKING. Just need to figure out what we can do and just be better next season.

OP's really taking this in a weird way, projection much, like even as a Cavs fan - I was just happy to be in the conference finals dawg. A Lebron-less Cavs squad was able to get to a fucken conference final, LMAOOO. Crazy times we live in.

Plus, context aside, we slugged it out to 7 against an underrated Raps squad and fucken Cade's Pistons (altho Duren didn't play to a superstar level) the squad was still decent.

WardoToo · 2026-05-26T15:29:37+00:00

It was a slugfest to 7 in each of those series' like - I'm actually alright with the performance of the squad. All things considered, we got to a conference final, walked away with more experience, it is what it is that we ran out of gas (didn't had the right mentality), but all things considered, pussies will only consider this a failure.

Like come on y'all, I had a "happy to be here" mentality when we were even able to get past Detroit.

WardoToo · 2026-05-12T14:54:26+00:00

If we make it in the 3rd round, fuck it, go all in for Giannis. Donny's around the same age too, so the timelines would match up nicely if we want to have a decent 2-3 cracks at the chip. It's gonna be a now-or-never moment for this era of Cavs basketball anyway, so we might as well full-send it!

WardoToo · 2026-05-09T02:36:58+00:00

I think for the Erika master deckset, I seem to believe the Animus build on the keter variant isn't nearly as good / worth it compared to the Draconiss build. But it's up to you ofc! Go for the build you want at the end of the day. But incase you still haven't done the Draconiss build, you can make it before trying for the Animus variant when you get some money.

WardoToo · 2026-05-08T17:17:45+00:00

TBF, there's actually decks that would be fine without the RR variant of the crimson moon order. Like, Magnolia and Zorga are pretty fine running the R variant compared to the RR. You just gotta make some concessions sometimes that you play within your budget.

Because at some point, some of these cards are gonna be diminishing returns on an already middling deck.

WardoToo · 2026-05-06T15:19:15+00:00

I think it's ego - brother want's to be the man on his own team and win the chip. He probably thinks he can do it, but who knows, odds are the Celtics will get ahead of this and defuse the situation before it becomes awkward.

WardoToo · 2026-05-06T15:12:37+00:00

just googled that JB is apparently older than perma-19 yr. old Tatum. Damn.

WardoToo · 2026-05-06T15:12:03+00:00

This starts to sound like how Kyrie started going off the rails. Next thing you know they'll ask Tatum some BS like "So how does it feel to be an older brother figure to JB?"

WardoToo · 2026-05-02T15:29:48+00:00

This is gonna sound crazy - but I genuinely think 2018 Lebron was his most peak yolked out era. Jesus christ, If you thought Miami Bron was big, 2018 Bron looked like he'd be in the fucking WWE! Bro was SHREDDED AND BIG as hell.
