I was actually disappointed when I thought that Davis wouldn't play against us. I remember what I saw when we played them back in November without Lowry and Ibaka: a good, but perfectly beatable team.

There is no doubt in my mind that we can beat them again on Saturday at full strength while they are without Bradley and Rondo.

There are some incredibly obnoxious, arrogant, and ignorant Lakers fans in Portugal I want to trigger this weekend. So if Davis is playing, I'm positively thrilled.


Yeah I never get to watch much of AD. He was always ducking JV


Was he ducking JV? Or this guy

We really don't give Pascal enough credit for making moves like 0:18 just seem like a normal thing for him now, yeesh. That was an impossible shot for him last season.

He still has so many obvious areas of improvement that the fact that he is already an all-star caliber player is just crazy. His handle should continue to tighten, he'll continue to get reps on his above the break 3s, he kind of lost his touch on his inside game which will likely return, he'll improve on his passing out of doubles... crazy.

Gasol looks like he has another gear or so which he will showcase in playoffs

are you talking about the spin move on Collins or the jump shot behind the Gasol screen? He did a nice dribble move but it didn't really do anything, it was just regular open jump shot because the defender went under the screen

That stepback was nasty. Slow but silky smooth. He definitely added it to his game this year amongst other things that get overshadowed by advanced stats and metrics. Can't wait til he perfects these new tools. He's gonna be fun to watch.

Lebron looking pretty easy to contain.
2019 Eastern Conference All Stars

Derozan
Lowry
Ibaka
Valanciunas
Van Vleet
Delon Wright
Lebron
Embiid

There are only 2 teams in the league that rank in the top 6 in offensive and defensive efficiency: the Golden State Warriors and the Toronto Raptors.
