What is your point here? Wear and tear matters. I think that's obvious. I'm sure it contributed to two of the three achilles tears we've seen the playoffs this year. Lillard is just old as shit.

Just bad luck? Maybe it's the court? Lol.
fuckin sycamore courts
 
I feel like giving up Jalen Green for a 37 year old Durant is a mistake. And I'm a KD fan. Green is going to be all star level for at least some of the next 10-15 years. Maybe I just prefer young talent over old legends, I dunno.

KD is good for 26/6/4 on 64% TS. Jalen is dropping less on 54% TS. Durant fits into most offenses seamlessly and gives you elite spacing and efficiency. When youre competing in the stacked West this could be the difference between a deep run or first round loss.

KD has played on gutted rosters where as the Rockets have a lot of youth and athleticism to back up his shooting.
 
The Pacers are more talented than the shitty Warriors. The Warriors had Quinten fucking Post starting.

Just shut the hell up

Post plays his role well and hits the three. Pacers are deeper. I’ll give them that. Much more equipped to deal with HaliFOURton going out than GS is with Steph going out.

You're complaining about last years Olympics ruining this year's playoffs. Thats retarded.
Hali was playing injured and now paid the price. Oh they should have played less games in the NBA and its the NBAs fault gtfoh

Yeah let's shorten the league for the most paid players in sports in chance they don't get injured. Most don't even play hard until the playoffs come.

I'm taking probably 12 years of Jalen Green over 1-2 years of old KD. I guess that's what it comes down to. Yes, KD is a badass, he's the Slim Reaper, but I have to weigh 12 years vs. 2 years.

He also doesn't have to be the #1 option, Sengun can run 2 man with whoever and KD can be the outlet. He can be the 2nd or 3rd option while dropping 20+ and still being the best shooter in the league. It's an insane fit.
 
Still struggling.

Looks like Bangladesh might be getting some new championship busses if the Thunder don’t pull their head out and start stomping these guys
 
If the Pacers didnt choke game 4 Hali would have never got hurt tonight

After this post season there is zero reason to keep Jalen Green, I think he's incredible, he's an athletic marvel, but he's absolutely not ready to contend and with the new CBA he can't be around. You have to shoot now. He's not a 12 year player for Houston.

I'll say it now for posterity then admit I was wrong later. Trading away Jalen Green is almost as bad as the Flerps trading away SGA.
 
LMAO at Dort flopping like a fish trying to draw a foul looking like he tore his Achilles. LMAO
