    I wish we could get our hands on Mathurin. Tough luck for Haliburton

    never been as high on him as most of our fan base. he's solid but has significant holes in his game. carlisle is just good at hiding flaws, imo.

    mathurin could be a guy who late blooms into a semi-star. but i think he needs to go to a losing team that can let him fail some in a bigger role.

    Refs giving OKC a lot of calls. Dort flopped like a fish there.

    Simply put win it for Haliburton. Nemyhard has to be Stephen Curry. The kid can do it. Run the offense through him and give him all the Haliburton sets.

    and Nembard and Mathurian can win this.

    Dame, Tatum and now Haliburton.

    To keep going at this pace is irresponsible. I don't know how they settle that tab with investors and ad buys, but ultimately what's more valuable? 82 games + IST and having watered down product on the floor that will turn fans off OR 60 something games where you have the best players still on the court through June.

    I'm also not sure how they make that work with stats and records. People will say anything after deserves an asterisk. It's an ugly situation but these injuries are getting to be too much

    God I've grown to despise OKC: such floppers and they don't gets call on all the reaching they do.
    Mathurin gets an absurd offensive foul for one of the most obvious flops I've ever seen and he gets hit on his jump shots by SGA no call.

    yeah, you can't tell me AD and luka both didn't sit longer with calf injuries because they worried about being one of these cases. and i don't blame either and wish both had sat out longer, tbh.

    I don't know it's coincidence or conspiracy but over the past two months, this is the third torn Achilles - Haliburton, Tatum and Lillard. A strange coincidence, but they all wear number 0 jersey

    Now that Phoenix is in rebuild mode, I’d love to see if we could get Nick Richards.

    I’d take Beal for the TPMLE. The issue with Westbrook was his contract when he came here. Having over the hill ex star guys on a TPMLE is a low risk, medium reward play.

    Well, this was a good close game...and then it wasn't.

    At least the off-season officially starts in the next 30 minutes.

    he probably wont come here unless we trade Austin, plus he'll probably have some teams offering him more. His numbers haven't gone off a cliff yet

    too bad mathurin doesn't know how to flop like SGA: Indiana might have had a chance. Dude's getting hacked like crazy and he can't buy a call

    Feel if the refs didn't call all these soft fouls/foul baiting and no fouls for Dort, the Pacers might have had a better chance.

    OKC with one of the luckiest rings.
