Some of it was Kawhi being rusty but a lot of it has to do with the Raptors game plan. They consistently double superstars and let the others beat them. It's actually a great strategy for the most part.

It's ridiculous that any player can progress to the pros without someone stepping in, but huge credit to him for having the balls to man up and admit his shot was broken.

He is a legit 3pt threat now.

(If only Simmons would do the same, he'd be on another level)


Also timing is great for him to lock a fat, long contract.

If the Mavs dont re-sign Tim Hardaway Jr, im going to be so pissed.

Surely, Dallas will keep him. He has been money for them for most of the season.

I’ll say this about Lonzo, something I never thought I’d think.

If the Pistons don’t get Cade (or Suggs), and they don’t like the look of Killian’s development as a shooter and ball-handler in the off-season, I would not be opposed to making an offer to Lonzo. He’s very solid these days.

I thought it was crazy on Lonzo's part to turn down the contract extension he was offered prior to this season as his injury history was a major concern. He's still deals with those nagging injuries but to me he reminds me of Shaun Livingston with a 3pt shot. A big guard who could guard 1-2 and maybe the 3 with his 6'6 frame and long wingspan it's really amazing. Here's his shooting splits:

14.6pts/4.7rbs/5.8asts/1.5stls on 42/38/80 splits with a 55TS%.

Holy crap this dude is gonna get paid handsomely this off season. I can't believe Griffin gave Adams an extension for 35M over 2 years without seeing whether or not he'd fit next to Zion. Griffin better not let this guy go. Sure his decision making in the half court needs more improvement, but he's emerged as a great off the ball shooter whenever they go point Zion/BI.

He's gonna have a lot of suitors lining up for him and I could see him getting 4/100M easily if not more.

Man, Kyrie is so clearly full of it with his peace and love talk. Hoping that the fine money goes to people of need.... lol come on. What has he actually done to help other than refuse to play and talk to the media?

I know it’s unpopular and he is hated because the triple double is a “empty stat”....but Westbrook having another gem game

lonzo on a bad team is not something to build on.

he might be looking good but deep down in his soul he is a pass first player. i know he may look good NOW, but i don't have faith in him as a scoring pg. it would take more than what he's shown. i think he's best as a pure facilitator because that's the way he was brought up. imo he would be best on a team that doesn't depend on him to contribute as a scorer. he's a guy you get when you already have the parts

:lol: That’s why raw numbers don’t mean much. Jokic is having one of the greatest offensive seasons ever. Randle has been good, but Jokic has had a historic season.

They were half joking half hyping up Randle. But i agree its silly to compare them.

I actually feel bad for the Knicks. That was as dominant a quarter as I have seen since the Shaq days. 24pts 6rbs 2blks in 1st quarter is outrageous.
