the nba finals were a failure. the season as a whole was not. we found a great coach, a strong 1-7 rotation with no defensive weakness which is locked up long term, with room add to it. tatum became a far more complete player than ever before. this team as constructed will have a chance every single season.
Roster needs to be tweaked some but Tatum and JB will be fine and grow from this.
Bron and Kobe had struggles too their first time in the finals
Tatum isn’t Bron or Kobe
Ya can’t assume we’ll be back just cus of the age. We got lucky to be here in the first place
Tatum isn’t Bron or Kobe
so if better plays than tatum can play like s*** in the finals, maybe we should realize that sometimes s*** just happens
Tough tough way to go out. Looks like it's still GS league, gotta give it up. But we have more runs left in us

Says who? we could do everything right next year and go out in the second round
there are players that make the finals and never get back, players that are much better historically than the guys we've got. we thought we had the makings of a dynasty back in 2017. look what happened
The only solid fact is that they blew it. I don't see them getting back to the finals, and the fact they blew it should haunt them the rest of their careers.
ownership better be ready to spend well into the luxury tax. the warriors were and look where it got them
Painful, missed opportunity. Hard last few games to watch. You could literally see them 'run out of gas', while GS got better. I do see them getting back to the finals, at least our core time frame says that it's possible. Injuries and roster shake ups will happen in the East so anything can happen. But I believe in the Jays, Robert & Udoka.

Our main guys were babies in 2017. But I feel your overall point
I expect 60 wins and the 1 seed next season. that’s the pace we played at since turning our season around and I don’t see any reason for that not to continue, given the same team is coming back with added depth.
an easier path would’ve made a difference this playoff run. I think it showed that we had to run through a brutal, extremely physical gauntlet to get to the Finals while the Warriors were able to cruise there.
Not tryna be an apologist but Warriors were a lot more rested and didn't even play an actual series. Tbh never thought we had a shot since we tried our best to choke a series that was ours to Miami lmfao.
Game 4 man. Up 4 with like 5 min to go. Chance for 3-1
I can go on... Just come back and erase this feeling next year
This team ran out of gas badly. If we played like this vs Nets we don't even get past them. They ran out of gas vs Miami. That series vs Bucks should've been ECF at least
Any trade that we make this year, grant williams better be in that package lmao
We were awesome first 2 series and I barely recognized us over the last 2. Didn't have the mental/emotional fortitude to keep playing lol. I was so disappointed after the Mia series that I resented having to watch these stupid games. Also Marcus Smart as a PG is a joke, unless u got Lebron on the wing

Williams -18, White -26, Pritchard -20
What a time to become absolutely useless
