I will actually be so disappointed. I love seeing the raptors win but not necessarily at the expense of seeing the game's best players injured. And not at the expense of premium prices.

An idealist. Don't delude yourself. Take the W.

Drummond doing his best Drummond impression at the line tonight. He's got to fix that.

He actually said that? Is this guy serious? It wasn't even the most important sports event of the week, let alone sports history. :lol:

The Cavs will eventually find guys who sign with them for the minimum and plug every hole they have, kind of like what happened in Miami. But I don't think they'd even be a top 4 team in the West.

Melo hit the dagger in his face. Then on the next possession LeBron passes up multiple shot oppurtinies to pass (he had a great look under the rim). Looks like the Cleveland pressure is getting to him again. We are going to see some epic chokes this year. Ahh its like 2009 all over again.

Looks like DJ Augustin is the new main point guard in Detroit.

Jennings playing 20 mpg will not end well in Detroit.

Just wondering, how much are these premium ticket prices?

170$ per ticket in balcony prime. Pretty ridiculous...

"I don't respond to nobody with dreadlocks who plays basketball," Smith said, referring to Faried's hairdo. "He's a clown, quote me on that."

"He knows it's coming, he knows, next time we play," Smith said. "In order to make those comments like that, you gotta be able to back it up and we'll see next time."

"I'll have some words while I'm busting his (behind). I back it up when I talk. It's gonna be a pretty good matchup."

"He fears me," Smith said. "He's scared of me, so, of course, he'll talk about me in the paper. He won't do it to me in my face. If you have to hide behind a microphone or smartphone, so be it. I don't mind."

"It's a lot of social media. I'm an older guy, I'm not on social media, Twitter, Instagram. It's a lot of media thugs and Instagram gangstas, I would classify him in one of those categories."

OKC is so good at acquiring late talent, it's incredible, awesome scouting department.

Let's see..

Mitch McGary looks REAL solid.. love his ability to bring the ball up the court and make some slick passes.

PJ3, Jeremy Lamb, Reggie Jackson, Steven Adams, even Andre Roberson is quite serviceable as a defensive stopper with some athletic tools.

It's incredible that they were even in that game yesterday. Sure, the Clippers were sloppy, but it was 5 starters and a deep bench vs 4 bench players/Ibaka.

I think once Reggie is back and assuming full time PG duties, this team will be able to stay afloat until Durant/Westbrook get healthy and make their late season run.
