I hate Draymond but you’re dead on. He really is a great player for GS. He’s just a wanna be Rodman while being one fifth of the player.

One fifth of Rodman is still great.

His threads are actually pretty great. He does live analysis for every game.

Chris Paul looks washed. If the Suns are going to make a deep run, Durant-Booker-Ayton have to be the big three.

I just don’t think Ayton is at that level. Paul is still a good play-maker and passer, but he doesn’t like to shoot, and his days as a good defender are gone. Booker was just a monster last night

Paul definitely “looks” cooked, but he played a great 4th qtr last night. He’s still the #3 on that team. Booker was awesome, though

It’s not a very deep team. Ayton’s really going to need to step up if they’re going to seriously compete for it all.

Kevin O’Connor not a fan of Jordan Poole

KOC is below the Mendoza line in terms of accurate takes.

That’s the price they have to pay for trading away a lot of pieces for KD. Their bench isn’t good so they really need the 3rd player to step up aside from KD and Book. I just don’t see them coming out of the west

He’s awful at player evaluation.

I mean there are lots of valid criticisms of Poole. And I think he’s aiming at one, but Poole is obviously injured right now and not being good enough to play 35 minutes of high stakes playoff basketball (which I think would be an accurate statement of him now) doesn’t make him bad. I think he could be a good floor raiser on fringe playoff teams, but that’s obviously not what GS wants

I also think KOC is a doofus

Who had “Xavier Tillman” as the best player on the floor pre game tonight

I remember when he was saying pre Ayton draft that he’d trade jokic for ayton

What they heck is going on in this Bucks-Heat game? I need to check the box score to see how the Bucks are scoring.

Never thought I’d say this after his first few years but really don’t think towns is a max player anymore

Keep in mind that Towns has been out like 50 games with injuries this year, and came back just prior to the playoffs. He is not likely anywhere close to 100% right now.

He was actually pretty great in the 8 games he played when he came back

But he’s a consequence of the NBA cap rules

You probably have to max him out but there are like 20 guys who make the same you’d rather have
