The owner/GM builds the team. The stupidest thing for the coach to do would be to ask who are the 5 highest paid players and make them the starters. Dollars paid shouldn't have anything at all to do with PT. It's the stupidest thing in the world, yet people believe it is right. An organization who follows that practice is incompitent. This is fact, not my humble opinion.

You, I, and most rational people would think this..... but......

I almost opened a can of worms with substituting incontinence here.... lol. But I'll be a bit reserved with it, a few of these owners should be (and maybe they are) wearing Depends for sure!

Dallas upper mgmt was concerned with Luka conditioning/weight gain for years. Plus contract expiring. Horrible deal but it is gonna work out OK with Flagg.

The Wolves would have never beat the Warriors without the Curry injury. They exposed the Lakers inability to play defense, but got lucky to make it to the finals. We're lucky they did, or Shannon would never have had the minor postseason breakout that he did.

Never? I don’t know about all of that but they did so it doesn’t matter because we’ll never know.

Warriors won the first game of that series, then had to play without Curry for the next four and lost them all. A couple of those games were pretty close, and none of them were blowouts. You really think having Curry wouldn't have flipped at least a couple of those games? I don't think GS is shooting 8-27 from 3 in Game 4 if Steph is playing.

I'm not sure how much any of it matters. I think the Den/OKC series was the NBA Finals. The rest will just be a victory lap for OKC.

True. GS would've ultimately suffered the same fate as the T'Wolves if they made it to the Conference Finals, with our without Curry. It's a shame Denver's seeding got dragged down by the internal struggle that was apparently going on all season. Would haven at least been nice to save OKC/Den for the Conference Finals.

That’s awesome that they won the first game. Series are best of 7 not one game. Neither you nor me know what the outcome would be if Curry had played so to say that Wolves would never win is asinine. He didn’t play and the Wolves won. That’s all that matters.

Jeez sorry I offended you. I'm not the one that said they'd never win, but a thing sports fans have done for time immemorial is speculate on alternative outcomes under hypothetical circumstances. It makes for fun conversation. But since you've decreed it doesn't matter I'll start circulating the memo to everyone to stop immediately.

LOL this is the typical response when someone like you is wrong in what they are saying. You didn't offend me dude. You can't say a team could never beat another unless that is a fact and what you said isn't a fact. The only person offended is you because I called you out on what you said.

First off, I want you to re-read my post. Slowly. Really try and sound out every word. Ask a trusted grown up for help if you need to. Because I'm pretty sure I never said what you think I think I said.

Second, yes, you can. You can say another team could never beat another team. And another guy can disagree with you. And a third guy can be completely and verifiably wrong and say "hey, you can't say that." This is a sports message board, not a peer-reviewed academic publication. Speculating about this stuff is what people do on message boards, all day, every day. A lot of times people are wrong. A lot of times people say stuff that will never be able to be verified. That's the nature of the beast and last I checked there were no rules, laws, ToS, or regulations barring it.

LOL.

Why don't you take his advice and go back and figure out who said what you are accusing him of saying.

I'd hate to see you blow a bunch of money hiring a private detective to find the wrong poster who had the temerity to use the word "never".

I'm the one who said never, and watching this unfold is pretty hilarious.
