It's the first time i've ever even mentioned Demar lol. Even gave him respect when he hit the shot. Get a better hobby bro.


No hate. But the thing is - if a Raptors fan criticizes DDR, no one is really bothered because those fans watched every game DDR played for years and years and there is some weight behind what they say, but when a Lakers fan - a fan of the team everyone thought DDR was going to this past summer - makes the criticism, it comes off different, like just saltiness because the Lakers(or, more accurately, LeBron) chose Westbrook over him and the sports media has kind of been making some noise about that decision.

Not saying that was your intent or how you feel, but I think that's what people will think.


Alright so first off. I literally watched the game im not box score watching Demar hoping he has a bad game because of saltiness. Im happy for Demar he's a baller.

Second: Could the Lakers even have gotten Demar? Salary experts where you at?


Yeah, they could’ve traded the pieces they traded for Westbrook(KCP,Kuzma,Harrell) for DDR instead. Money would’ve worked. In fact it would’ve been easier to make it work money-wise because DDR’s current deal is less than Westbrook’s(by a lot).

Warriors are arriving in Salt Lake City in time for dinner and to celebrate New Year's Eve.

Kyle Guy is a superstar.

Man Hawks fell off. I know theyre missing some guys, but theyre legit losing big to a team with like 1 rotation level guard atm if that.

Last year was a fluke. In no way shape or form should the Hawks have been in the ECF.

:lol:

They have one NBA center and, with Cam now injured, no one you could call an NBA-level forward. Trae and Capela are being doubled every time they touch the ball. At this point, I'm finding it amusing.

Dallas is better with Brunson as their starting PG. Doncic has been a minus for them this season on both sides of the court.

I will say this, there isn't a coach in the NBA that lights up the refs on a consistent basis like JB Bickerstaff. He's like a fan lol He sticks up for his players on every single bad call.

Raptors are quite bad. They are having trouble beating a Clippers team which is missing both Kwahi and Paul George

JAFRO is such a beast... All the work the Nets put into him really paid off, and makes me super excited for their plans for Nic Claxton.

Rockets were extremely stupid to unload JAFRO for as little as they did.

Cavs got a really good one...
