Was he having fun when they were down 3-1?

There's literally nothing to indicate PG is having "fun". What are you basing that off of? The dude scoring the basketball in a comeback?
They have to beat Utah 3 straight times, and once more on Utahs floor. That doesn't sound fun.

Say we sign 2 of LBJ/PG/KL as FA's, no trades. How do we clear up the logjam in the front court with Randle/BI/Kuz?

Bringing players off the bench isn’t stunting their growth. Likely Ingram and Kuz would be off the bench. You would have amazing options for a death lineup.

OK, it's fine to think that. But that's not really what was claimed. But will PG and Russ put up a combined 80 points on Friday at Utah as well? |

He meant to say benching players that allow Randle to start won’t stunt their growth.
Duh.

And do it with Gobert and Favors not being out of the game early thanks to zebras?
Yeah, Utah will close this next game.

| Man, after clearly looking at the body language of Jazz fans, it’s making me sick that we are more upset about there lose then they are, they don’t even seem worried... can we stop embarrassing ourselves because we want a specific player to come here? I bet a lot of fans are laughing at us... |

Show me where I said it would stunt his growth. He needed to start because he was the better player and better fit, as we saw once they did start him. And that is why Ingram and Kuz would be coming off the bench, there would be better players and fit at their positions. The lol is on you for not being able to comprehend what was posted.

| Why do fans believe players make decision based on winning one individual series or games? KD left after blowing a 3-1 lead, LeBron left after taking his team to the finals. |

No, they're just laughing at you, since you can't control yourself emotionally. |

| Think it was Mitchell after the game that was hunched over really thinking about the loss. He better get over it quick or it'll cost him next game |

PG13 did look like he put his heart into that game though. He was very passionate about the game. He's a competitor for sure. Westbrick getting hot has me worried. I mean he was a big part of them making a comeback. If OKC wins this series, then I'm going to become the biggest Houston fan.
Our chance of acquiring PG13 greatly decreases with each playoff series win. I think he said that if they made it to WCF, that he might consider staying in OKC. It's understandable since no one expects any team to be able to take down GSW at the moment.
