Paul being out is to be expected. Getting injured during the playoffs is part of his charm.

Draymond is the biggest piece of shit in the NBA by a mile. How the **** does Shroeder get a T for that? Hope Dray has a career ending injury tonight.
Lakers are getting ready to blow the game open and the refs toss Schroeder. Fix is in
Dray getting away with being an asshole is nothing new. If they officiated him like everyone else he would have 100 Ts a season.
For a guy that at times has taken an incredible amount of shit for doing his job poorly, Rob Pelinka did a hell of a job rebuilding this team without many assets to offer in return.
It goes without saying that James and Davis being healthy is the biggest part of how this team has improved but the added players fit so much better In what this team wants to do.

Bye bye, Warriors. Go **** yourselves.
Warriors screwed themselves by giving Poole that giant contract, he was a mess in the playoffs.
48 3pt attempts by the Warriors. They are the definition of live and die by the 3. Almost half their shots came from behind the arc.
It's just a basketball game that has zero effect on your life.....and you are so triggered you wish serious injury on a complete stranger.
And people wonder why we have so many shootings in this country.
Are you new to sports? This has been going on for decades, but continue on with your hyperbolic social commentary.

Jokic is every bit as good as Embiid
Nice to know that you are ok with wishing serious physical injury on an athlete you don't like. That says a lot.
Nice to know you are making sh*t up. Where did I say I was “ok” with it? Just that it’s happened for decades and that it’s an incredible stretch to link it to recent uptick in shootings. You aren’t bright, are you?
Ok, I was rooting for the Lakers to beat Golden State, but damn…now the Lakers love is going to be insufferable, isn’t it?
Supremely interested in the WCF, and whst the center position matchup looks like. Jokic’s numbers in the Sun’s series were ridiculous.
I don't think Davis can handle Joker. Joker is so unselfish, he'll get 15 assists if they double team him
Time will tell, but I believe the Suns have put themselves into a title or bust situation in 2023-2024.
While they may not have had a chance at a title this year with Bridges/Johnson (plus all of their picks), they were younger, deeper, and had a long contention window.
With the Durant trade, they put themselves in a situation where they have only four good players:
- Booker: stud, one of the best 6-8 guys in the NBA
- Durant: a top 15 all-time player, but closing in on 35, and seems to miss 1-2 months each year with an injury. While his skill level is still great, if a sports book offered an over/under on Durant regular season games played of 59.5 for next year, I'm hammering the under.
- Ayton: talented, still very young, but questionable how much desire he has. Also, it seems that he and Monty Williams have no relationship.
- Chris Paul: 38 years old, in the twilight of his career
The new Collective Bargaining Agreement is reportedly punitive against luxury tax teams, making it harder for them to improve with options such as the Taxpayer Mid-Level Exception.
Bottom line: Phoenix has their work cut out for them this summer to put a championship roster together. They pushed all of their chips into the middle.
It's hard to watch Klay Thompson. You can tell that he still believes he is a great player. Every time he puts the ball on the floor, the outcome is not going to be good.
I would say that Klay is like a once great MLB starting pitcher. He made some All-Star teams, had some great playoff performances for World Series runs, and is a Hall of Famer
But then he had two very serious injuries, and aged a bit. Once upon a time, he could throw 97 MPH. Now, he can only throw 90, but he still attacks hitters like he throws 97.
Klay needs to be a 20-24 MPG catch and shoot guy who is not allowed to dribble.
He just is so unreliable. Curry made him. He'll suck most likely at his next stop. My biggest beef with him is that if he is not scoring he is just standing around on both ends.
I hope you aren’t saying that Curry “made” Klay, as if Klay would have been nothing his whole career with Curry. Klay is a shell of what he once was due to injuries, but he is one of the greatest shooters of all time and was a plus defender in his prime. The guy made 11 threes in Game 6 of the Western Conference Finals to stave off elimination.
Klay isn't a team player. If he isn't getting shots, he just stands around. And if you want to go defensive route, Lakers owned him.
