Late games suck. Luka out sucks. Need something good to make up for this. Must win game.
I want to believe we can beat them with Luka. But I don't think we can without him.
I was pessimistic not a long time ago, and thx god I was wrong. I hope I am not wrong again thinking, that this game could prove and cement worth and role of some of the players in the team, like Brunson and Bullock - and many others. So I see it not only as a hard game to win without Luka but also as an opportunity for a plethora of our players. I hope...
If I had to choose now, today, I'd pick the Suns to make it to the finals out of the west.
It's going to be a tall order to beat them tonight, especially without Luka (if that's the case).
If they win, GREAT. PARTY TIME.
If they lose, I hope we'll all meet the result with grace and perspective...unless that perspective means saying anything even partially critical of the Great Dorian Finney-Smith.

DUDE! I watched Life Aquatic over the weekend!
I always knew it was great, but for whatever reason I remember being slightly disappointed with it at the time, especially as a follow-up to the Royal Tenenbaums.
But man, this time around, ZERO complaints! Masterful film.

More than I like WCS, less than I like DFS, yes.
Man it sucks that we didn’t get Crowder when we had a chance.

We might of had to miss out on the Chandler Parsons fashion show era

Totally.
Seeing how Finney Smith and Cauley Stein play mostly, I am happy that Luka is not named Dončić Poterbin (after his mothers maiden surname, and yes, sometimes she looks better than her sons game...).

I get the trade desire if we are getting Lillard back but some just keep throwing Brunson in every side ways move trade proposal after 1 playoff run against his worst matchup team...the player who had never played a NBA playoff game before the Clipps...

I'm with you...but I also get how the uncertainty of his future plays in.
I wish we knew if he was just going to leave next summer. Because if he is, they absolutely should trade him at the tdl. But, I agree the "can he play with Luka" conversation has been in the rearview mirror for a while now.
