This is how to execute in the clutch. Not all that rubbish OKC and Blazers were doing.

I hope wade comes back next season. I am impressed with the poise of this young philly team. Heat did everything they could. Wade gassed out trying to make a run. And philly still kept that double digit lead
Re: The NBA Begins by Roland17(m): 3:49am On Apr 25, 2018
Going into next season, the focus of the Heat should be recruiting offensive hands. Despite the grit, hustle in their play, they lacked a skilled offense, particularly perimeter scoring. It speaks volume when your best offensive player is a 36 year old veteran. Dragic who was supposed to provide some offense struggled during this series and that is because the matchup at the point against Simmons was a difficult one on both ends. It was difficult to navigate the offense with Simmons in front of him and that made moving the ball very difficult.

I did not watch a single game vs Spurs. Never wanted to. Only checked score report and read comments.

We need SC back. I heard the 4th quarter was a sh-t show.

Been saying this for years. No other superstar in the NBA would be humble enough to allow another superstar on his team to take some of the spotlight, w/o any adjustment periods or growing pains leading to a wrestle for the reins. Such an underated part of who @StephenCurry30 is. https:///9YdRIWs6Wv

"That's why I think people underestimate how valuable Steph Curry is."

KG, @Candace_Parker and Gary Payton talk how unique of a superstar @StephenCurry30 is and why it makes the @warriors so special.

Am an OKC fan but have to admit steph is so underated....maybe cos he doesnt dunk like LBJ,Russ or he doesnt really play much in the 4th quarters where warriors have already wrapped the game up leading to his decrease in numbers...Just imagine if steph played the same minutes like other elite stars of their teams..

Still the best shooter in the game(my own opinion)....

Too many isos from and we didn't take care if the ball.. We had many offensive rebounds though. KD and Draymond made sure it didn't get out of hand..

Who plays point guard? The biggest disappointment for me is Melo. Without the burden of being the first or even second option on offense how are you able to suck this badly with all your veteran experience.

I always thought it was a poorly assembled team but I felt they would squeeze past the Jazz on talent alone but the ROTY had other ideas

I thought they would even be able to challenge the warriors a little, this heathens can't get past a rookie led team.

Get felton to play the PG, anyone but russell grin grin

I was going to say move WB to the SG but he ain't even a good shooter

We've gotta be better against NOP though. Smother them with great D and take home games. We can bring Steph away and crush them with spacing.

Donovan is a special kid. He's not just any rookie

Russell's problem is he does not take to correction. As you grow you listen to criticism. Filter the constructive ones and work on them! You listen even to his post game comments and you see a guy who is just not ready to change. If I'm Paul George I'm definitely getting the hell out of dodge.

As a PG you can lack every other skill (shooting, athleticism, speed) but the one skill you should never lose is your decision making. It's why Jason Kidd could still play at 38. It's why Rondo still looks decent now. It's why Derrick Rose with all his injuries is still looking like Minnesota's best player.

I expect Westbrook to have a big game today but if he consistently made the right plays in these late game situations it would not have come to this

No need to talk about Cadaver Melo. The OKC GM was naïve dealing for a guy with a player option.

Felton? Don't make me laugh

Totally agree with all your points..I dont think nobody even tells him as it..They all look at him as some 'god' or untouchable...That's where Billy Donovan missed it for me..Even if you want to move him to the shooting guard position,he is not really that a great shooter..

For me(contrary to what others may say or think),i dont think it will be that difficult for russ to change cos he already has the talent...he just needs a change in attitude cos with positive attitude,he can listen and learn from positive criticisms...

We may or may not go out in this first round but in all,the team should have a rethink about the system in place....

He doesn't believe his game needs some tweaking. He still thinks the world is against him or something. Always aggressive and always on the defensive each time he speaks.

I don't think he can play SG. He's still by all intents and purpose a PG. Just him admitting to himself that he needs to work on his late game decision making would make a dramatic change in his game. He's 10 years in the league so I can't help but wonder if he would ever realize this

Lillard Klay Kawhi LeBron Durant.

Solid defensively and all the other guys save kawhi can shoot so they can play off of LeBron. The prices are messed up though, KD for 4 and Kawhi for 2? LOL!

JRs shots aren't falling but again his defense is just as important. He's got that baboon thinking he's in Oklahoma again.
