@JustEsBaraheni This, including a high level of conditioning, endurance and sadly playing more than 35mins, if he is the most impactful and best player on the team playing vs elite opponents.

@Persevere21 That’s a great point, Molly. Think the difference is that those other guys are used to a high minute total. Wemby averaged about 29 minutes in the regular season. This is the most he’s played… ever. Big difference between Game 1 off time off vs Game 5 with a game every other day
English
Wemby looks pretty tired out there.
Working on his 5th straight game of 30+ minutes. He averaged 29 minutes in the regular season. Think the games every other day adding to the wear and tear.
English
@JustEsBaraheni I undersrand but if you are a generational player, the best since Lebron and a true leader sometimes you have to push pass your limits to get to where you need to go. He wants to be on mount rushmore then it will require winning at the highest level consistently.
English
@0uttis They do the same with another star in the East but then they add "he needs help"?Yet still his pnr partner was 3rd team All NBA,another starter 3rd in DPOY voting and a vet who had 8 straight 20+ pts in the playoffs. How about 6"7 shooter who was top 4 in made 3s in the playoffs?
English
@0uttis I just say the same thing under Es post when he said Wemby looks tired. They do the same in the regular season. Like he played 48/ 58 mins in gm 1 and they won and he was a big reason and the media make it appears he is the best ever but tonight he us tired. Come on!!

@JustEsBaraheni I don't think Kawhi has slipped a bit with his hands/ anticipation; his lateral.quickness is not the same due to multiple injuries and knee series+ he has to save his energy for offense.
English
@Persevere21 Pound for pound means relative to your size. Think Kawhi has slipped quite a bit defensively but CMB is absolutely up there
English
Pound for pound, Alex Caruso has the best hands in the NBA, I think
English
@JustEsBaraheni Caruso is 6"5 & CMB 6"7* some say 6"6. Yes CMB has like 45Ibs on him but in terms of height that's relative. CMB don't to dig like Caruso to get the ball or deflections. The difference is Caruso's reputation itl allow him to get away w/ fouls. CMB just needs the refs' respect.
English
@TestudoJK @IsaacOkoroFan Guard Shead? You mean he would hace gotten bodied by Shead? Did you see Shead's ball pressure on Harden. Don't be fool by Shead's height. He is very strong & pesky w/ a hjgh bb iq. His oy isdue he can't shoot. If he could make 3's at a solid clip, Raps won in 6.
English
I love Darius Garland but if you think they could’ve hid him on defense against Tobias Harris, Scottie Barnes, Mamu, or CMB like they did with Harden, then you’re just lying to yourself.
Doesn’t mean I supported the trade but Harden’s size helped them win those two series.

@chelsealeite The line ups/crowds yesterday was much different than today. I could barley move exiting the office yesterday. I've since learned that when there is a giveaway the crowd is massive.

For people who disagree with this: outside of the Warriors, which NBA teams /stars haven't underachieved over the past decade outside of the Golden State Warriors?
Celtics on CLNS@CelticsCLNS
Have the #Celtics underachieved in the Jayson Tatum & Jaylen Brown era? “If you say that they underachieved. Then everybody has underachieved. Except for the Golden State Warriors since 2015. Everybody. Cause nobody else has won more than one title. So, in that case, you are for the last 12 years. You're saying that the entire league, every star has underachieved” @NoaDalzell
English
@SixthManSlabs @mynaymeismud @D_West30 This was the case in their first 2 series for most game. The difference in the case of the @Raptors while they scored a lot of points in transition they would have gotten another 15 pts if they had knock shooters or didn't make silly turn overs.Their best shooter, IQ didn't play
English
@mynaymeismud @D_West30 Oh, I agree. They got beat down the court very frequently. Often times even off of MADE shots. Low effort all-around, not going to pin it on Harden.
English
Do you know how many coaches you are labeling "suboptimal coaching" on if I apply what you are saying here to my own basketball learning journey? This is a wild statement to make.
BBALLBREAKDOWN@bballbreakdown
@Ezsilk323 If anyone coached you that the shooter in the above alignment isn't responsible for being the safety valve back, then you received suboptimal coaching in this regard, unfortunately
English
@WolstatSun At least they won more playoffs game from 2013-2020 than the Ny knicks.
English
I’ve compared the Leafs and Knicks many times over the years. So many similarities. But Knicks making a finals is not leaf-like
Toronto Sun@TheTorontoSun
New York Knicks can finally end Toronto Maple Leafs comparisons, from @WolstatSun torontosun.com/sports/basketb…
English
@WolstatSun How many of the rotational players on the @nyknicks was drafted by them? The Leafs has 3 core guys they drafted for years and were too attached to them even w/ the data of mediocrity& their lack of toughness. No leaders on that team. Sometimes you have to take risk.

@hellowelcomepod You got called out so now almost 5 days later you online commenting?

What will it take to acknowledge that Scottie Barnes is a top 5 defender in the NBA? #raptors #nba #nbaawards

@PensareBBall Probably you should start with @Raptors media personnel. @michaelgrange , @SmithRaps and @WolstatSun has vote. There are at least 3 more but I don't know exactly so I don't want to tag them.
English
Darko Rajakovic finished 12th despite
✅ Exceeding Vegas expected win total by 9+ games
✅ Turning Toronto into top 5 defense
✅ Integrating Brandon Ingram into one of the youngest rosters in the NBA
✅ Having one of the 8 youngest teams top 4-5 in the east all year

@Bluetears21 @SamQuinnCBS U.S media don't respect us so what did you expect him to say?

They lose to Detroit with Garland. I’m pretty comfortable with that. Harden saved them as that series progressed. You can still question the process on the trade but I do think it ultimately made this year’s team better. Just not better enough.
Raheem Palmer@iamrahstradamus
We’re all blaming James Harden but do the Cavs even get this far with Garland? They should definitely trade him and fire Atkinson but there’s a bigger problem here……
