  1. The next time someone tells you Beas doesn’t belong in the starting lineup… first, block them because they shouldn’t be discussing anything basketball related… and then laugh laugh laugh

    Same for the Brook haters

    Same for the Dame haters

    Same for the Pat haters (Doc clowned the haters for us in his post game conference already)

    Same for the Bobby haters

    WE WINNING THAT RING BABY

    🔥 🦌 🔥

  2. Records can be misleading.

    Before Doc Rivers, the team had a very good record, but when you watched the games, it seemed that there wasn’t a clear plan on offense, and on defense that there was no plan at all. Giannis and Brooke looked like amateur players instead of top defensive ones, and the guards were running in panic mode to cover positions.

    Now, they look like they are organised, and that there are multiple plans on both sides of the floor.

    Personally, I feel that the players have their confidence back.

  3. r/nba talking about cherry-picked minutes and BS like that. First of all, our original starting lineup has been the best with +300 minutes for months, as they hadn’t played since Jan 31st.

    Even when you look at the top-5, it’s the teams you expect: 1) Bucks, 2) Nuggets, 3) Celtics, 4) Clippers, 5) Suns.

    The same lineup with Crowder instead of Khris is 7 minutes away from being 2nd, ahead of the Nuggets. Lower it to minimum 250 minutes and we have the top-2.

    I know Doc’s playoff record is shady, but otherwise this team is built for the playoffs, more than ever roster-wise.

  4. The biggest thing is that they’re focused, and got their mojo back.

    Rest of the season is about honing that edge, ironing out as many communication wrinkles as possible. Watch Pat Bev’s [post practice presser today.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O3SP36r4HKY) Comms, comms, comms.

    All I want is a healthy, locked in squad when the playoffs start. And it seems like the guys are having fun again. I’m excited.

  5. Outside of starting 5, BP, PB,PC, Jae, and AJG in small doses if shooter is needed. I’ll take that as a playoff bench mob any day. Even if we lack extreme athleticism we have plenty of toughness, scoring and crazy to go around there. Hope guys hit their shots and we can make opposing wings have to work but if everyone is healthy and clicking, bring on anyone.
