The Lakers vs Kings series in 2003?(I think). So not really surprised that this series is poorly officiated. 0 free throws and still 57 points for the raptors, I think that sends a message to the NBA. reminds of of this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EdUr43acx94 Edited May 24, 2016 by blaise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apple Juice Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 I kinda see similarities between Big Ben and Biyombo although the comparisons are a bit too much. I still remember that Pistons team and Big Ben in his prime shutting it down. Nobody else was better and Biyombo has some similarities to his game.

oldnews Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 (edited) Thing I love about Biyombo is that he combines that power presence with agility - a quick leaper - who has really good footwork, hands and versatility. Imo these can be the most difficult and rare players to find - and can make an absolutely huge difference, as we've already seen. Will take the likenesses in a different direction - to guys like Marcus Camby and Shawn Marion (these aren't tight comparables, but) long, relatively quick and agile players - good in the paint and the open court - rebounds, steals, blocked shots,...and difficult to matchup/contain. They wreak havoc defensively. A combination of build/athleticism that is special and a real joy to watch. Edited May 24, 2016 by oldnews Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heres my history of basketball fandom for 2 years I cheered for the raptors. Then cheered for Steve Nash and the Suns.

So I'm watching sports nation and Colin cowherd said he would invest in warrior season tickets(their like last place at the time) so I start cheering for them, they trade Ellis for bogut then the rest is history. I I feel so unpatriotic right now though, and I'm from Saskatchewan so if I stick with the Warriors that's a lot of late nights being a Canucks fan as well. Such a big life decision.

Sit down gs bandwagoners NBA from where I'm from is boring people in my country watch and follow it a lot but they don't have any affinity for a team. Back then everyone had Lakers jerseys, and Heat jerseys, and now people are wearing Warriors merchandise. I always laugh inside that for a country where basketball is a religion and NBA has a following no one follows a team from thick and thin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apple Juice Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 Not a Warriors hater by any means but OKC just laid a thumping on them. And everyone thought the Warriors were unstoppable and was going to make the Finals without a doubt. Time to shut up the bandwagoners. Anywho, gonna jump on the Raptors bandwagon this year. Games 3 and 4 pretty much showed the entire NBA what the Raptors can do and if the Raptors can make the Finals, I'd just laugh at how angry and upset all the NBA analysts and people at head office will get when they see a Canadian team in the Finals.

That's a pretty good reason right there to change loyalties. I did the same. I was at Uvic when Nash was in high school - getting schooled by Eli Pasquale. He used to come play scrimmages - us (Senior Varsity Volleyball ) vs the Junior Vikes Basketball team + Nash. I chose to play VB - but was also a point guard - so I can say I've guarded Steve Nash - when he was a teenager. He was pretty good already - but honestly, in those times, it just never registered as a possibility that this young man could in fact one day be the best basketball player in the world. We were Canadians - just not on the radar. His high school coach wrote to countless American universities - and only one showed interest - Santa Clara. The rest is pretty epic, After that, watching this young man - not particularly fast, not a particularly good leaper - but unreal fundamentals and creativity - progress into an NBA MVP - nothing short of surrreal. Sorry Xavier McDaniel, Tom Chambers and the rest of the Supersonics, but there's a Canadian kid in the NBA! Whomever he plays for - that's my team (except Kobe's Lakers lol).
