    Naw. We need the young guys to have some momentum going into the summer. After last game nobody in this organization should be under disillusion. If we hear a bunch of run it back nonsense from Stone after the season then maybe we can look back here and say they should have lost this one.

    but if we got swept, we all would have lost faith in our young core

    Most everyone agrees with you about Amen. Only a few Reed Only and Sengun Only fans are holding out. Anybody watching the last 2 games and wanting to park Amen in the corner is an idiot. He should initiate virtually every play. 3 pointer or not he gets in the lane and almost always makes the right decision. We need to trade Sengun and KD for young shooters and athletes and fire Ime. Nobody can stop Amen one on one. Surround him with shooters and our offense will be top 5. Get a rim protector and Reed might actually be able to stay on the court and do what he does best, shoot. Amen, Reed, Wiggins, Jabari, Ware. Get it done Stoner.

    Super negative man.

    Texans win a playoff game = make thread about how it leads to over valuing CJ

    rockers win a playoff game = make thread about over valuing stone and ime

    just enjoy the win

    I think we’re stuck with them regardless. It was nice to see the young guys bounce back.

    Getting a win on Playoff Bronny is no small feat.

    It’s only a matter of time before the series is over and we go home, but winning without kd does feel bittersweet.

    Would love to know what the speech was. But glad it helped. This is something that builds chemistry AND character. Amen mentioned the speech in his interview at the end of the NBC broadcast. So apparently it resonated to a few of them.

    Don't worry, we'll be reminded of this team's flaws when we force Game 7 just to get blown out by 40.

    What good does being happy we won a meaningless playoff game do?

    I think it's good that the young guys proved their heart and honour. I refuse to believe that the final 40 secs of game 3 really happened. In my mind this series is at 2-2.

    I hope they go out next game and fight with everything they've got. Just don't give up. Even if they lose, it will be an experience that they can build on in the future.

    What does it do? This is such a weird question. It makes you happy. You don't understand the concept of getting joy out of experiences in your life? Why do you watch sports?

    It was actually a very good thing to win this game. They can't use the "but KD was hurt" excuse. So, when Rox inevitably get blown out in game 5, probably with KD back, it makes Ime look worse

    Series should be tied. Gift wrapped them a victory. Now LA has to give us one in the same manner.
