probably because some advance the argument that the warriors would have definitely won had they not had injuries to Durant.

 

What does that have to do with a star failing to get the job done in the biggest moment?

 

he definitely would have with Durant, right?

 

The opportunity likely doesn’t present itself if Durrant plays because they probably win going away.

 

so that's why. people like you.

 

Okay.

 

So Curry is now 0-8 on lead-changing shots in the last 20 seconds or something?

 

You sound so bitter.

 

Hadn't seen that stat, but it supports my stance on Curry, so I'm going to assume it's true.

 

saw it elsewhere last night but i just happened across it again

 

Sportsbooks favoring the Lakers to win the title next year now that Klay and KD are injured just goes to show you that LeBron is still the best player on the planet.

 

Yes, duh, but not wrong.

 

Interesting stat.

And the guy who people claim isn't clutch and is afraid to take a final shot happens to be at the top. Go figure.

 

That's go-ahead, doesn't include game-tying which I assume would ruin the bagel.

 

Anthony Davis to the Lakers

 

Wow, they got it done. Gotta think that helps their chances with a big name free agent.

 

They kept Kuzma. Good trade for both teams

 

3 first round draft picks seems like a lot though.

 

Two of those picks will likely be in the 20’s since the lakers are going to be pretty good. Maybe the 2023 first, if the picks are in ‘19 ‘21 and ‘23, could be worth something. It’s pretty much Lonzo, Ingram, Hart, and this year’s 4th overall pick. That’s seems pretty good from a lakers standpoint.

 

It’s definitely a good move to add more draft picks if it allows them to keep Kuzma. I was just surprised they had to give them three. It didn’t sound like anyone else was even at the table.

I’ll be curious to see what additional moves they make. I think Klay would fit with LeBron and AD amazingly, but he’s not leaving GS. Jimmy Butler would be a very solid next option.
