How strong is he, how is his vertical, how is his work ethic, how would he fit with the Raptors? I watch closely when they’re warming up because that’s when most people think it doesn’t matter, but it really does matter, because you’re preparing. How does he go to war?”


That is some real ****

Please tell me WHY the **** the NBA did not reverse IN REAL TIME the grossly missed GT call on Dame which cost the Blazers the game?
This excuse (“The play in question could not be reviewed as officials had to make a call in order to trigger a review”) does not cut it.
The NBA needs to change the **** rules.
Do they not give a flying **** about credibility & integrity?
If I were Dame or the Blazers HC or a fanatic Blazers fan, I STILL would be frothing.

OG is struggling a bit with his offence recently, however thankfully he is still completely a lockdown robot on D. That year of additional programming with Kawhi has paid off.

Yes.

It was a good run, but we are not close to 100%. Injuries this year....

If one of the lesser teams doesn't get us, the Pacers and especially the Bucks will.

(and through this whole run, we are only 2 games ahead of you guys...)

I respect your reverse jinx game.

Real answer, i expect the loss to come over the next few games. And we've won 9 out of 10 and lost ground lol, that's crazy.

The top 3 in the east are 28-2 over their last 30, god DAMN.

Best case scenario is getting the streak up to 24, and Nurse resting starters via load management during the next game to give our G-League bench more development. And providing another lowkey tribute similar to the one he started during that game against the Spurs, which everyone else followed due to social media exposure.

Why do we care that Toronto is on a nice winstreak?

Why do they care?

I mean this team won 16 in a row with Kyrie 2 seasons ago, how did that turn out?

We were minutes away from making the finals with rookie Tatum and sophomore Jaylen, which most likely doesn't happen if we don't have HCA throughout the playoffs.

If we end up playing the Raptors in the second round, I'd much prefer playing a possible game 7 at the garden.

Just because they are the 2 seed and having the 2 seed is better than having the 3 seed.
