But, since we're talking about it, I watched every game of that playoff run about 3 times during the pandemic (all but maybe 2-3 games are on Youtube).That’s the thing is you never know. Most though we had a great shot when we lost first round as 1 seed to GSW. 2011 many people picked us to lose first round to Portland. We want to give every year a chance with Luka but the approach must be different than with Dirk. Vucevic and Gordon don’t move the needle enough
I was shocked at how much help Peja was in the series he played. He wasn't much help in the last two rounds, but you're absolutely right. He was a LEGIT contributor in the first two. I couldn't believe how different some of those things had gotten in my memory vs. reality. There were definitely a couple of games in that run that Shawn Marion won almost single-handedly, too.
