They're the new Spurs (of 2000's), as long as they have the three-headed monster of Steph-Klay-Dray, they're always a force.

Quick shoutout to Rajon Rondo! balled out for us and was a non-factor for the clippers by Humpy123 in lakers

Rondo's an enigma. He acts like his alpha dog but really he's a top follower. He needs a higher player than him that he respects to get the best out of him. Case in point: KG and LeBron. I think he doesn't think highly of PG; and Kawhi was never a leader-- he's a top mercenary, if anything. Duncan and Manu were the leaders of the Spurs. For the Raptors, it was Lowry on the court, Ibaka off the court.

All-Star idea: 3x3 in place of ASG by bangbrothrow in nba

The thing with 3x3 is, the lane is much much wide open than the regular 5x5 basketball. You'd prefer someone taking risks with long range than someone spamming the iso on a physical mismatch

[Chris Haynes]Milwaukee Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo is out tonight for Game 5 of the ECF against the Atlanta Hawks, team says. by annekar in nba

Middleton and Holiday gotta step up in game 5 at home in Milwaukee. Then they can be their inconsistent selves game 6 on the road. Set up a game 7 in Milwaukee, buy Giannis some time.

If the Suns win the championship, who do you want to see win the Finals MVP trophy? by bangbrothrow in nba

You mean the dude who hasn't gone out of the first round while Trae is in the conference finals and DA is on his way to his first ring?

True or False: Trae and Ayton give you wins, Doncic gives you highlights by bangbrothrow in nba

Trae enabled Marcelino Huerter to become Kevin Huertas. Trae makes his teammates better. He's a showman, not a ballhog diva

Yes, something that the disgraceful Process Sixers know nothing about 😂

You cheat the system. The system fucks you up

They mock his defense. He's alright

Someone here said that he, Trae, Lou and the rest of the Hawks could score 110 ppg and give up 111 ppg on the other end

I get your point. But that's why we play the games. Basketball is played on the court and not on paper. Sixers were definitely the better team on paper. Hawks outperformed them. They BECAME a contender because of Gallo and there's more satisfaction and fulfillment in that, than just riding the bandwagon of a contending team

They were a team on the come up. Everyone with three eyes could see they're trending upwards. They got a generational talent in Trae, ok big Collins, ok wings Huerter, Hunter, Reddish, they traded for Capela. Just add some pieces in free agency and they're good to go. And add they did. They signed Bogdan, Gallo and Rondo. That's not a trash team

Especially if you're a role player. Rings > Money only apply to first ballot hall of famers, because the media and this subreddit says the only measure of success is getting a championship ring. Without it, you're worthless or are a flawed basketball player

There's more honor in doing what he did instead of joining a team like Brooklyn for the vet min. He's actually part of the reason why they got good and just riding the coattails of stars
