Bojan has grown so much since being a Net. Love watching him own LeBron with these daggers!

Has he grown? Didn't he score like 30pts in a final regular season game to put us in the playoffs?

He looks like the same guy he was with the Nets. He's just not put in a position where he has to do more than he's capable of.

yep. Bojan being with some solid starting veteran talent and an all star level player in oladipo on the wing next to him makes a huge difference. he gets some really good clean looks thanks to the attention that attention that oladio and turner draws and his defense has actually stepped up a bit in Indy's scheme. good for him :nod:

seeing former teammates bring it to Lebron should be good motivation. Caris needs to get his 3pt% up to 38% next season. Bojan has been hitting at a 40% clip this year.

Watching the bucks celtics game dinwiddie is such a good fit for bucks it’s ridiculous.

Bogdanovic with 13 points in the 4/4, 12 straight with 3 threes and a 4 point play. He and Thaddeus Young with solid defense on Lebron. Happy for these two guys!

he would be a good fit in kennys offense and half the price of crabbe but it also means no jarrett allen.

Yeah, he would be good on offense but can you imagine his defense at the pace we play at lol? These slower games where neither team has to run up and down the court at breakneck speeds definitely keeps Bogs from being exposed defensively, since he doesn't have to defend someone running at him.

Plus, I'm sure we'd all prefer to have Allen 100 times out of 100.

I'm just glad to see him coming up big for a team who needs him. I felt bad for him the last year he was here. He needed to be traded.

yeah, with the defense its a tougher call but offensively id take bogs over crabbe 10 times out of 10. He is just as good a shooter and he can also score in other ways. for me the extra 9 million makes up for the D but its a non starter once you factor in we wouldnt have allen

He was still awfully inconsistent on the road and his D and his handles were suspect during his rookie season. He eventually hit big shots against the Hawks in that series, though.

Why aren't people talking about Ricky Rubio and Donovan Mitchell as one of the NBA's most interesting backcourts???

Blazers look done. two straight home losses and Davis, Holiday, and Rondo are kicking their asses up and down the court.

That was a fun game to watch. Davis is a monster.

Man the Blazers shell out a lot of cash for a team that just got swept in the first round. This is what you DON'T want the Nets to become.

The crazy part is though, that team is built relatively well outside of the boneheaded matching on Crabbe, whose now gone and the utterly asinine signing of Evan Turner.

Two true stars, one who is basically a superstar, solid defensive wings, a solid young big man, decent bench. I'm not surprised they lost the series, but I'm stunned they were swept.

You are 100% correct though, that team is the prime example of how not to build your roster around a pair of star guards. A prime example of how not to blow a gargantuan amount of cap space as well.

Exactly. Evan Turner and Meyers Leonard are killing them.

Excited to watch the Pacers game to see if they can go up 3-1 on the Cavs.

God I hope Toronto chokes this series away!

Harden is in straight god mode right now. if he wins a title and finals MVP his year he has a legit discussion as to being better then Curry or not.

guy may be the best offensive player since MJ
