It's a 9 point game, why does it feel like it's over already
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.

REALLY? Oh come on. THAT fall was enough to get Klay injured? Klay and Steph have such fragile bodies. I guess it's only fair to have that in return considering their ridiculous shooting talent.

Might as well blame KG and Ray Allen then. Because their moves to Boston started the superteam era.

None of those players moved to an already 73 win legendary championship winning team though. That's all on Durant. Absolute wuss.

By your argument he has made them weaker, given they were a 58 win team this season.

0-3, 0 points, 0 assists, 0 rebounds, 0 steals, 0 blocks and a -12.

Is that good?


Update: 0-4, 1 assists, 0 rebounds, 0 steals, 0 blocks, 1 turnover. Brutal.

CP3 is a trash can when it matters.

His performance in game 7 last year with the Clippers is one of the more overlooked horrific game 7 performances by any "superstar" player.


Hey that's not nice

Can someone explain the 3-second rule to me? How is Draymond allowed to be parked in the paint for something like 10 seconds on every Rockets possession.

Harden is one player. 90s basketball would not be as entertaining if things switched back.

KD is gonna have 3 titles by the age of 30 and then plenty of time to pass James all time...

KD will never get the kind of recognition Lebron is getting. There's nothing he's doing now on this Warriors team that Lebron wouldn't do if they swapped teams. Meanwhile, he's not taking the Cavs to the finals. Even in the East.

2 parts..1 He doesnt have to take that Cavs team anywhere...2 All you James guys think about is GETTING to the Finals...KD wants to win...Not look good losing...

Curry wanted no part of Capela on that drive/kick.

Klay is an iron horse, he rarely misses a game.

I don’t think it’s a “real” rule. Was shocked it was called last night.

CP3 is injured
