The thing with Kerr is he's not afraid to say that isn't working, let's change it. He tried an ultra small lineup in the first half that didn't work, got killed for about 3 minutes, pulled it and never went back to it.

Poole starting for Draymond they win 3 in a row, but Poole is clearly struggling, so he starts Draymond today to send a message to Poole.

Can we sign Looney please lol

I think lots of Warrior fans would rather keep him and let Draymond go if it comes down to money.

Just remarkable the guy has asthma, and he's had surgery on both hips and he's dominating the glass in game 7

And the Suns have a 3 day break between games 2-3…

That’s crazy

They just never learn. In the postgame interviews multiple Warrior players referenced a comment by Malik Monk after game 6 that "they are old we gotta finish them." At one point late in the game Curry made a bucket and turned to the cameras and said "they can't finish", people thought he was being cocky. What he was actually doing was referencing the comment by Monk.

Draymond said after the game he actually likes Monk but admitted yeah some say we're old, I say we're different.

He also said he pulled Fox aside and told him how much he likes him. Had a weird way of saying it he said in the playoffs he often "loses respect" for guys on other teams because they don't play hard enough or shrink in the moment etc, but he said in every playoff there's other guys that I gain mad respect for because of how they play the game. Joker was one last year and this year he said Fox is definitely one. He said that guy is cut from different cloth than most guys that guy has it and I told him to keep his head up.

They had showed him at the end of the game talking to Barnes and then talking to Fox. So you kind of assume it's implied the first part was about Barnes but I don't know.

I'm kind of on board with the idea if Butler is iffy they should just sit him in game 2. They already stole a home game so the homecourt advantage is gone. If he's iffy, sit him, give him 2 days more rest to rehab the ankle and have him back for game 3.

If he's ok obviously play him.

Warriors v Lakers will come down to durability and conditioning.

Lakers and screwed with that schedule.

Embiid's health issues are going to end up becoming this generations Derrick Rose, Greg Oden, or Grant Hill where we end up wondering how different the league would look if he could stay healthy. Damn shame. It sucks as basketball fans that we don't get to witness it.

Of course as Suns fans we've had our fair share of bad luck in the health department. I feel 100% confident that the Nash Suns would have won a title with Amar'e had he not needed micro-fracture. Add him to the 05-06 Suns and they roll past Dallas and then Miami.

They gave him a plasma platelet injection and say he might play game two. That is supposed to alleviate pain and most often is used to treat arthritis. The injections have to be a month apart and it is not like some miracle shot. For most it takes a few shots to feel much better.

So, he is done IMO. We will see.

We’re like in year 9 of “the process” wake me up when this guy actually delivers in the playoffs. Never made it out of the second round despite playing with multiple all stars and all defensive team members

 

[Chaplin]

Pj tucker just hit Jayson Tatum below the belt. Bush league stuff.

 

[Phrazbit]

Wow... Maxey ends up way out of position, totally lost on defense, defending no one... and Boston throws the ball straight to him.

Amazing.

Sixers have a real chance to win this without Embiid.

Harden doing a nice impersonation of Book!

Old school James Harden!!
