No more small ball unless it’s are bench, 2 bigs in the starting line up. Only the warriors won a chip playing small ball. And to be honest they didn’t even win small ball they won with looney at the 5, draymond at the 4. So it’s just the way it’s always been. U need 2 bigs in the starting line up to stop joker, Gordon, and Porter.

I feel you, but Kwahi might have long term risk and they already signed him and need to protect him for years to come. It's more glaring that the non injured players don't come to play.

[@lookfeelbehealthy6320]

@@jamesc6876 The problem is he played a game and then decided to go back and not play. The other thing is with his 'injuries', there's no such thing as long term with him. He'll play another 2 years at most. I can almost guarantee that.

[@Wokonwater]

Kawhi tried to play. The team shut him down. He was barely mobile

[@lookfeelbehealthy6320]

@@Wokonwater Lol. No, he wasn't barely mobile. And he could've easily insisted that he played. You're making excuses for him.

@4:44 “play great for your superstar”?? What is she talking about. They should want to play great for their fans, their pride and the respect of their franchise. Not for a “superstar”.

[@navblue20]

She may not articulated her point perfectly but she's valid. Your superstar is out so you have to play and you have to rise up so you can make the next game. And the fans do not play the game the players do. Make no mistake they are important but it's up to the players to step up

[@adh2298]

Just remember, 1 conference finals appearance in 54 years as a franchise. Never even sniffed an NBA Finals but somehow y’all supposed to be the new King of LA 😂

[@alexbowman4392]

Changing of the guard indeed. We are looking at the possibility of early exit of Durant, Curry, Lebron, Harden, Westbrook. All former MVPs, all out first round. Time to hand the keys to the youngsters.

[@TingTingMelody]

Harden doesn’t show up in crucial playoff games? This is not news but an annual event

[@StylistecS]

I guess I had to watch the entire segment but the dismissal of Dallas in this video is very noticeable. I really need the NBA to get away from ESPN.

Kawhi has degenerative knees, everyone knows. AD gets a lot of weird ticky tack injuries, that are probably serious they’re just odd
