My feeling is that Dame has always been a more impressive player. He is a stronger shooter; Curry's deep shot form is more of a heave rather than a pull-up. Dame is just cooler all-around. Better looking shoes, can rap and has more of a street rep than Curry who came from money and had basketball handed to him by his NBA dad.

Curry has won championships and MVPs but all of those were impacted by the teams around him. Dame's best teammate is CJ McCollum who isn't even an all-NBA caliber player. If Portland wins this series against LA, to me it is almost equivalent to a championship. There is no way Portland should even be close to LA considering the season they just had.

Mad respect to Dame. He is absolutely hoopin' HOOPIN' right now.

That being said, Steph is on another level. Real talk. Dame has narrowed the gap, no doubt. No Gwen Stefani.

Steph is great, but I’d take Lillard over him in the playoff game. He couldn’t even beat out Iggy for finals MVP.

Tatum can only be guarded by himself

And we were talking about how much hayward will be missed

Tatum shooting 5/6 from 3pt is not sustainable ...just because he has the hot hand doesn't mean they won't miss Haywards 18p/7r/4a in the long run

How is he not missed? Tatum isn’t going to carry them every night, and they had to go on a massive run right now to get the lead

I have no doubt Adobe will lock him up no problem, The only concern for me playing celtics are the refs

OUch!

Yeah, still baffled at how Iggy won it.

Right now RIGHT NOW? Yeah, I am taking Dame as well.

Examining the entire body of work, still gotta side with Dell's boy.

Celtics are still dangerous, I think they sweep the Sixers or go 5 games max.

LJKO · Post #755 » by **LJKO** » Wed Aug 19, 2020 11:34 pm

Guess it's the Celtics in the 2nd RD

Son Goku 25 · Post #756 » by **Son Goku 25** » Wed Aug 19, 2020 11:34 pm

We should start preparing for the celtics. Sixers just play really lethargic and dumb without any urgency.

Celtics match up with our guards really well, they have smart and eannamaker on defense plus kemba to score then you have tatum who can get his shot off plus JB to put on Siakam.

I have watched enough TSN Sportscentre to know Craig Button's very well, even if I am not a huge hockey fan.

And this analyst in the Sixers-Celtics sounds like Button... and he won't shut up either. It's annoying.

Sixers right now

Philly really maxed out Tobias **** Harris. I can't believe it, they gave him $180 million.

We gonna get smoked by Celtics in the next round
