Spurs without Kawhi game 6 Clippers game 6 on the bench Last year, game 7 vs Denver Philadelphia, game 7 against Boston It's ok to call a spade a spade.
How many guys make a huge leap in their 4th and 5th years? Your returning injured players are over 30 and average at best. Your best player is 37. And you're gambling that the BKN/PHX/DAL picks will hold their value. That gamble involves betting on those teams to suck, making an additional bet that they'll actually draw a high pick, and making a third bet on the available talent pool in a particular draft year. But we already played this game and lost - we never got to pick Cade, Chet, Wemby, or any other transformational player. And while you are wasting time gambling you're best player is aging out. The Rockets think slow & steady wins the race, but they have already been lapped by the Spurs, and now the Wolves and Lakers are on their heels.
We literally beat the clippers. And the Spurs were a great team. I also said when he was here I don’t care what he’s done after he left. He’s old and past his prime. The Celtics series was more Embids fault than his. He literally carried them for 3 games that series. Joel didn’t show up. You can say he’s had some bad games but to say we underachieved is false. He wasn’t favored to win any of those series.
