Boston played tough. Honestly you could tell they were the aggressor for the series after the first game.
He’s already in his first year of the extension at almost $9 million/year.
But even at that number I think he’s been a solid value as an upper tier starting point guard for them this year.
Remember when people on here thought George Karl was a better coach than him?
That's right, he signed a year ago didn't he?
But yes, a great price for the Nuggs.
If Toronto can hang onto Nurse and their young core, they'll be a fun team for a few years. Punched above their weight tonight.
Barnes is a beast and I like Mobley too don't have too much issue with how Roy played out.
He's a goofball but he stuck around after the game and congratulated all of the Celtics players. A lot of times players will just bounce.
I would say it is more on the players. They just didn't look like they wanted it last night. I also think Embiid's thumb is really giving him issues shooting the ball and I think he needs to stop shooting outside shots due to that.
This is the case every single year. Just no shortened off season or excuse to create drama like last year.
They've got all their main guys locked up for the next two years. They are the second best team in the league at developing guys at this point, they're going to be very good, but do they have enough to win a title during that stretch?
And if not, how do they get there? Do they move Siakam to find another version of the Kawhi deal, an unhappy superstar, Zion maybe. Do they hope Barnes becomes that dude and they have a strong enough supporting cast to get by Boston and Milwaukee with prime Giannis?
Seemed like they made a run late and then Harden had two or three turnovers in a row
