MVP Candidate as early as next year. Insane that he was playing in the 2nd best league in the world at 16 and was that league's MVP at 17. My roommate first year and a basketball guy that I trust, was on him being the best player in the draft for a while. Dude is sick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonder if we'd see a blowout if Steph and Draymond were in the game, but even with Klay and KD they're already pretty potent. Hope we're not in for a yawner of a Finals, and that Toronto or Boston really brings it. Its 1 game, chill. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xbox Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 Hayward starting to look like his old self again. Was worried he'd never be the same player again after the start he had but glad he's picked it up these last 5 games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a Raps or Warriors fan but if they had Steph and Dray back then that'd be a lot less shots for Durant who was unstoppable that night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got s breakdown for the game? Raps basically executed everything better than the Warriors did and outhustled them. Raps size and length gave GS fits. Curry got picked on defense. Raps worked him repeatedly and I guess it threw his offense off, only 10 points (3/12). Lowry and Green were awesome on both ends. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUPERTKBD Posted December 13, 2018 Share Posted December 13, 2018 Danny Green said after the game that they caught the Warriors on an off night, but the fact is, it's not "how", it's "how many". A win is a win and beating the Dubs on their turf, without Kawhi, is huge for the Raps, especially on the heels of disappointing losses to the Bucks and Nets. That being said, Green has a point: Any time Klay goes 0-fer from behind the arc, you've gotten a bit lucky. (Still can't believe there was no foul call when Draymond hacked JV under the basket, though...) If they can somehow come up similar performances in Portland and Denver, they'll be looking fantastic.

The new angle I hear is how the Western Conference is weak now Yeah all those haters who said he would never come over to the West, because he was afraid of G-State, OKC, and the Spurs, along with how deep the conference was, with the Rockets and Trailblazers and Pelicans and Clippers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruce Boudreau Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 Also it's disgraceful how the NBA doesn't include the Raptors in the Christmas day games ever... they are so scared of the American tv audience not caring enough to watch. They are a marquee team this year and deserve to be in there, especially now that they have a top 5 bonafide superstar in "The Claw" and have the best record currently in the NBA. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think its fairly compelling, I mean why come to LA if you have championship aspirations. How long before Lavar is on CNN criticizing Lebron for not letting Lonzo get enough touches? It will be a circus that will generate ratings but won't result in any titles. What do you guys think? Has Lebron given up and decided that chasing Michael B. Jordan is a more achievable target than the GOAT? 18-11, good for 4th in the West And doing it without Rondo and Ingram. Just tings! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meh, not like Ingram was tearing it up either way. I still don't see a championship in this squad's future. Maybe if LeBron can recruit that second superstar but I think it will be difficult. In many ways KD is right, its hard for the egos of superstars to deal with all the media fluffing that LeBron gets. AD? KD? Kawhi? More like Kemba or Bradley Beal. Basically they will be good but not great. Lebron will put up gaudy stats but there will be no hardware to follow. Meanwhile them boys in the Bay area will be stacking chip on top of chip. To the point where they can go... PS: Forgot, Lebron should beat out Michael B. Jordan and win his first Oscar, so we can add that to his trophy case. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gurn Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 https://www.msn.com/en-ca/sports/nba/grizzlies-gm-upset-with-trade-fiasco-im-not-happy-about-what-happened/ar-BBR0F0v?ocid=spartandhp " It took Memphis Grizzlies general manager Chris Wallace less than a day to comment on his frustration with how Friday night's three-team trade debacle ended. This Week's Circulars "I don't carry grudges, but I'm not happy about what happened," Wallace said, according to Houston Chronicle's Jonathan Feigen. The Grizzlies were prepared to ship Wayne Selden and MarShon Brooks to the Phoenix Suns in a deal that centered around forward Trevor Ariza heading to the Washington Wizards. Unfortunately, Phoenix thought it was receiving up-and-coming forward Dillon Brooks instead. Wallace was adamant that he had absolutely no interest in dealing the Canadian sophomore. "We were very clear about who was in the trade," Wallace added. "Contrary to reports, it was not Dillon Brooks, which put us in a very difficult situation with our players. Individuals from one or both of those teams leaked the deal, while we were playing last night. That forced me to do something I've never done in 30-plus years working in this league for seven teams, which was to drag two players out of the locker room and tell them they have been traded and eventually have to come back in and tell them, 'no you haven't been traded.'" The Wizards and Suns continued negotiations without the inclusion of a third team and agreed to swap Ariza for Austin Rivers and Kelly Oubre on Saturday. Despite being left out, Wallace remains certain the Grizzlies communicated Chronicle's. "What happened last night was unfathomable," Wallace said. "I've never experienced this before. We were very clear with who was in this deal. Dillon Brooks never was intended to be a part of this. From our standpoint, we made it very clear it was not Dillon Brooks. "We were very clear on what we communicated. We don't have any issues with how we conducted this. It was not our problem." Dillon Brooks started 74 games for the Grizzlies last season, averaging 11 points and 3.1 rebounds in 82 appearances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J-23 Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 Murray, is a stud. I've been following him since high school and he's been solid on the Nuggets. Playing like a true PG. Jokic and him, have been killing it. I watched their game against OKC, and Jokic dominated. This guy can do it all, he's a great playmaker and can knock it down from deep. Also happy to see Stauskas doing well. Looks like he has found a home in Portland. He's been in their rotation from what I've seen. Love seeing the Canadian kids make it. Used to watch Stauskas shooting videos, kid has range. Wiggins has been rather disappointing. Expected him to be a superstar. He puts up good numbers, but I saw way more potential in him. Not enough heart. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J-23 Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 Also wanted to say, an underrated player in the league right now is Lavine. His numbers are really &^@#ing good. If Chicago wasn't trash, he would get more recognition. Same goes for Kemba. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's perfect for tanking teams lol. Kemba is way better but it's sorta the same theme. Hard to build winning teams around small guards. Fun to watch though! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
