They were solid players on a contender when they had top players like Kawhi, Lowry, and Marc Gasol. They've each been thrown into a role that they can't handle and the results are what they are.
The Raptors should be beginning a rebuild around Barnes. [Reply]

So you are all for "load management" ?
Sounds like you took a load to the face and can't see straight.
You think the NBA hasn't turned into silly drama with all the bullshit? :-) [Reply]

You seeing a lot of load management in the playoffs?
It's fairly clear from your post that you understand very little about basketball in general, but that shouldn't necessarily mean that you're also too much of a coward to answer my questions. [Reply]

No doubt regular season load management sucks. NBA regular season is a joke but there is no load management in the playoffs. All the stars are playing heavy minutes.
Next to the playoffs the NBA drama\pettiness is best thing going. NBA twitter is fucking awesome. [Reply]
Sacramento Kings star De'Aaron Fox has suffered a fractured index finger in his left shooting hand, sources tell @TheAthletic@Stadium. Fox is expected to be listed doubtful to play in Game 5 vs. Warriors.

Gobert and McDaniels in the playoff game.
Ja is fine, he just had the best game of any player in the playoffs so far after the injury. The other players missing are role players.
Fox is the best player by far on the Kings and a player the Warriors had no answer to. Without him, the Warriors will win the next two games easily in a series that was likely going 7. Luckiest franchise in sports.

Ja is fine, but he missed a game. Which may be more than Fox ends up missing. And while there is no doubting fox is the best player on the Kings, the warriors have shown capable of slowing him down... "Fox only made 5 of 15 shots in the second half." And they held him to 40% in game 3.
Adams played 27 mins a game during the season. A role player with a fairly involved role. One that probably would have been somewhat useful in trying to stymie Davis. Clarke played 20 mins a game and would have also been used to guard Davis.
But continue to show your hypocrisy. It's nothing new. [Reply]

Steph can't win anything without star opponents getting hurt. Fake legacy. https://t.co/CSizvdYHm0
