Now that is a goat thread title
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.

Scottie shrugged after every dumb Kayla Kwestion.

If we’re going to insist on running those Scottie and bench lineups then I hope CMB at least plays alongside him

Barnes with masterclass on playmaking to close out the game. Huge contrast to Quickley.

I still think Shead is a bench player at this point in time but Quickley gotta figure his s##t out or Shead's gotta close out the games.

But maybe that's the right play.

Shead when holding into a lead late in games.

IQ when trailing late in games

22-15. On place for nearly 50 wins. 4th in the East, performing much better than teams with much older teams (Heat, Bucks, Sixers) and very few picks (Magic). Then you got Atlanta that is just a complete mess. Jalen Johnson is this year’s definition of empty calories.

4 of 5 on the home stand.

Hawk fans must hate us losing 2 in a row in T.O.

Nice mix of points in the paint and outside shooting.

Just like you could tell early on Scottie is a winning type of player on both ends you can see it with CMB.

He’s just not a point guard. 1 assist is unacceptable.

gets a touch in the crunch, instantly jacks up a 3

DJ goated at PG titles, but this one is recycled.

Having said that, great title.

The CMB game.
