He learned that from Lebron? Wasn’t he doing this in Minnesota


Yeah that’s insulting love big time. He didn’t learn that **** from Lebron :lol:


Bron & Wade were doing it in Miami....I guess I didn't watch Love in Minnesota much. It went to another level in Cleveland though, with better athletes.

Notice the announcer says, "That's one of those Laser Love Outlet Passes, right on the money." Love has always had them in his game.

It s always the biggest scrub going off from three. I wouldn't t mind Brunson or Barrett making threes but why Obbi Toppin.

This is going to sound weird but imagine if Brunson and Jimmy had a baby? Dude would be such a player

Obi has actually come a long way in the past season.

Kevin Love used to be famous for those full court outlets. His stint in Cleveland stripped him of all his good reputation. Glad he's found himself back on a winning team.

Crowd lifting up RJ. Love to see it. He's gone into his head a bit after being decisive and assertive early. I think the middy is there for him, the Heat are packing the paint.

Knicks keep chucking 3s while their 2 pt% is good. Never accuse NBA players of being smart.
Organization can be defined as an organized body of people with a particular purpose. Not random.

He is tall and uncoordinated. Have you seen him run? It looks like a tall kid running at the special olympics.

RJ's jumper is so aesthetically pleasing that I never think he's gonna miss.

He is a wee bit over shooting them this game though. I guess since Randle can't go he has the green light.

RJ is actually impressing me this game.

Zeller is actually crazy athletic - he had like a 37 inch vert at the combine

I think he’s referring to Caleb Martin
