Also, Brook Lopez is the Jeff Green of Kristaps Porzingises. In seriousness, it's stunning he's been this good for this long. I would have capped him at about 10 years before he fell off drastically. Like Jeff Green.


the changing of the game prolonged his career


Agreed but he changed his game too.

I remember him being a post player when he entered the league and his stats bear that out. He didn't take any threes until like year 5 and then he just started spamming. Also, his interior defense just keeps getting better somehow.


yeah, you're right.
posters were suggesting him as an iHart replacement. I thought was wild cause I figured he would have a massive fall off this year. i'm looking a lil wrong on that one.

If you're not Team LaMelo, I'll let it slide.

Raptors in free fall after having a bunch of close respectable losses earlier. Slaughtered by Memphis the other night and tonight by Hawks despite Poeltl and Bruce Brown return from injury

Other than the Knicks when they are at the top of their game, there isn't a whole lot to watch that is more exciting than LeBron during the 4th quarter of a close game, especially at his age defying all the odds.


It took me a min to get over the decision and also him leaving the heat had to happen. But I really really fcked with his 2nd stint in Cleveland. Him beating that warriors team was some fun hoops to watch.

Plus he just plays the game beautifully and outside of that seems like a good family man which I fck with. Easy guy to root for.


If you mean by “plays the game beautifully” by ring chasing, constantly cries to stack his teams and cries like a baby for fouls, while publicly calling himself the goat being the most cringe worthy thing then nah. I don’t agree.

I missed this post. What's funny is i actually watched this game too well the 2nd half and your boy Grimes was fooooooooood! Been inconsistent as hell, too. The same on and off again guy.

Anyways, congrats on ayton playing a nice game with a couple of the mavs big serving a suspension though. love to see ayton embracing the grind.

Mavs fans said grimes played well so I’m not sure what you’re talking about!!!

Mavs also had their starting C Gafford play against Ayton!! Liar!!

i'll bite since meLo is ducking me in this wemby vs randle match up.

must suck to be so emotional about one of the greatest to ever play the game you love but not be able to enjoy him perform. check out the roster he took to the finals in 2018 and tell me how stacked they were. and your goat jordan had the xman moved out west and did everything he could to get one of the greatest rebounders and defenders of his generation on his team. so miss me with that stacking teams bullchit. all the greats do it and will continue to do it.

The Celtics are way too streaky and spam 3s to win. In a 7 game series, we always have a shot at beating them, especially if we take home court.
