JVG said it; that is one fast release by Thompson. Unreal.

Cousins has no legs and shouldn't be starting this game. He is a liability on defense and his offense is no where near what it was 2 years ago.

Gonna be one of those games where Klay carries GS in the 1st quarter.

Raptors need to stop leaving Klay, they do a good job of getting back to him but all he needs is a split second.

Kerr wants at least one competent player coming off the bench


Cousins is a terrible fit with the starting lineup though. Only real value he has is in creating offense against second units. His defense is very poor right now. He should never EVER see the floor at the same time as Steph and Klay. I don’t mind though. Just makes it that much easier for us to see the dream of Raps in 4.

Seeing Klay heat up has to be one of the most terrifying prospects as an opponent

AD has "... resting alien face."

AD: "It's kind of rude, bro" :lol:

Not sure about this movie, but the NBA player tie-in commercials have been pretty good

Cousins has looked a bit clumsy but refs have been harsh on him compared to Gasol. He is rusty and out of shape but matches up with Gasol better than Looney. He’s made good contests too.

Did Klay not double dribble on that play?
Said in a thread about which point guards would make OKC better if they replaced Westbrook:

I don't entirely disagree but he's actually a pretty good passer. Looney is a much better option defensively though
