Where did that come from? Danny is like the last guy I would expect to have a put-back dunk highlight.

Ross is the better player but ross still seems phased by the playoffs

Yeah i have a hard time believing the raptors didnt want him back because of his lifestyle. We just came off getting our ass kicked by washington in the 1st round and we needed defense. Cojo became available and it was the obvious move

Clown ass. WE rejuvenated his chucker of a career, and let him do whatever he wanted on offense. Show respect Lou Willy

Casey going to break the again-o-meter. I think after a loss he's especially bad doing it

Kawhi not looking good out there at all, moving slow as hell, no lift.. not playing any defence at all too. Dude is playing because its a national TV game and because the pressure is building after missing the last 3 games, but he really shouldnt. Doesnt look healthy at all.

Kawhi playing like ass, injured, our medical staff was really a key to his success last year. When we played them the other day you can tell the first person he wanted to see was Alex.

So Milt Palacio was falsely reported dead this morning. He was struck by a vehicle in Toronto but it’s been confirmed that’s he’s in the hospital and doing just fine

Gotta love Wikipedia. How can someone be dead and still currently coaching?

the best choice for his career was to really stay.....i guess it's really hard to replicate what alex was doing

just watching a few mins of the clippers-rockets game, kawhi's letting PG carry the game while he watches...

man...i know PG's a few levels above pascal but, ya, long term i think toronto was best for him

Lonzo Ball on the 5 toughest players he's guarded.

Demar DeRozan, SG, San Antonio Spurs

I’m going to use this last spot to show some love to Demar DeRozan.

I give him a lot of respect … well, obviously because he’s from L.A. But also because the first time I stepped on an NBA court after getting drafted was against Demar.It was during the offseason and we were at the Lakers’ facility before training camp even started. There was a bunch of guys working out in L.A. and we got a game of five-on-five going.

They put me on Demar.

And I’m not even joking … this guy was calling out his moves before he was even doing them.

Going right. Going left. Fadeaway. Stepback. Shimmy. Turnaround jumper.

And he just kept hitting shots.

It was like clockwork.

There was nothing I could do with it.

He put like 40 on me that day. It was definitely my “Welcome to the NBA” moment. So out of all the guys in the league, I gotta respect Demar DeRozan, because he was the first one who showed me the level I needed to be at to compete in this league.

That’s something I’ll never forget.

I didn't hear any disrespect. He just figured that his lifestyle was a problem for the Raptors. Whether that is correct or not, where is the disrespect?

JV is everything Big Country could've been if he lost weight lol.

I know Delon got paid but he's not being played. His desire to get paid over winning is one major reason his game hasn't evolved another step to starter status like FVV.

Do you think the Spurs will trade DeMar, possibly to Orlando?

Lebron James is torching the Toronto Spurs: Carroll, Gay, Purtel, Belinelli, and DeRozan lmfao!!
