JR passed up a wide open three. That's literally what you're out there to do bro.

Nothing wrong, they just suck. What's wrong is that the media surrounding the NBA keeps pushing this narrative that they are good.

Nope, not without Jimmy they aren't...

Embiid was +21 and horford was -26. 100 million dollars well spent lol.

Dying to see a Horford for Conley swap or Horford and 2 FRPs for CP3

Jazz aren't going to take Horford's contract. I could see them attaching a pick to dump Conley if they can get a commitment from a guy like Christian Wood in free agency though

We would still like him because he plays with heart and grit.

Yeah, we wouldn’t have a chip.

AD is so rattled.

And Danny is still the raps' secret weapon.

They tackle OG and it's not a call...

Well, I like heart and grit too. But some of this is mad bs.

Yeah, we'd have been a bottom feeder for the last 8 years.

Nightmare scenario without super-elite Kyle.

Yeah, he runs our pregame flop drills. I don't know who else could fill in for him.

Raptors and Lakers are putting on a defensive show right now.

Raps doing a beautiful job on Lebron and AD. Nick Nurse is an amazing coach.

Davis is playing so soft.

Rainwater · Post #576 » by **Rainwater** » Sun Aug 2, 2020 2:11 am

Are LBJ AND AD even trying? They are not even trying to shoot, just over passing. They are treating this like a preseason game.

Ben-N1ce · Post #577 » by **Ben-N1ce** » Sun Aug 2, 2020 2:11 am

Is LeBron saving his offense for the playoffs?

Young Stapler · Post #578 » by **Young Stapler** » Sun Aug 2, 2020 2:11 am

Both teams not looking particularly awesome tonight lol

Not going to lie I'd hate him. He'd pretty much just be what Lebron is if he was on another team.

I was actually thinking that it’ll be tough for the raptors to match up against the teams with top end talent when those teams have the benefit of actually preparing for the way Toronto defends and having the motivation to play as hard as Toronto does.

Toronto defends so many different ways, different types of zone, etc., and refs let them get away with murder because they're so small. I think they will frustrate superstar players more than any other defense in this playoffs. Not sure if they can score enough to beat anyone though.
