But the raps have no real shot at a title. The east runs through Milwaukee

Naw, it probably runs through Phily. But listen, to be the man, you gotta beat the man. i dont care where Kawhi is. We're the champs until we aint. Masai will pull an ace out of his sleeve and give us a chance.

Glad that they paid Kyle and Pascal. Last thing toronto needs is to show that they aint willing to value their talent.

They'll be a 3 and D team this year. Barring injuries they'll cause all teams grief.

My raptors gonna be alright, Pascal just gotta tighten up his scoring, and Kyle gotta play up to the money. 34 pts and 18 boards in regulation for Siakam. Might have to move Gasol or something. We'll be fine.

Oh ya.

With Lebron aged and slowing. Steph a 1 way player. Durant set to not be 100% again. Unless Giannis takes some crazy step forward. Kawhi is the best player in basketball. Those boys aint losing with a fresh PG13.

Damn. WTF happened to bron and Davis in the 4th?

They got eaten and tired. They need Rondo and Kuzma. But the clips were without George. So its one game, and its only the start, but Kawhi came out of the gate firing. He's happy as fuck, you can see it in his game, dudes in commercials and shit. He's home. Lebrons greatest rival, the Lebron stopper, the guy who will put a fade on his legacy, plays in the same fuckin city. This might be the best year of basketball ever, post Jordan.

Only if the lakers can be just as good as the clips. We need a REAL rivalry within that city. Can't be 1 sided.

If Philly plays D like that all year, they are gonna be a fucking beast.

MJ is on some special sauce if he doesn't think Curry is a lock HOFer right now.

I get his point. Keep it up, keep doing better, stop crowning these guys too early. He's Mike, so he can get away with it.

But Steph is a HOF lock on his shooting clip alone.

yea if thats his overall premise. i get it. he just said it wrong. shouldve said he's a definite HOFer but lets reserve judgment on ATG status until his career is over.

Well just one game in, it looks like nights where james shoots awful will be a bane. The would have waxed the bucks if harden shot better.

Well...the Clip show looks legit.

Can't remember the last time Golden St. took a hiding like this.

If the lakers dont get it together, the clippers win this year, easy. Kawhi is prime and jordan esque on a ridiculously stacked, deep, 2 way team.

My dude Siakam, playing like he's worth the max that we paid him.

are the Rockets big men clearing the way for Russ to collect all these cheap rebounds the same way the OKC big men did?? thats garbage. not winning basketball. i hate that Russ has taken his stat padding BS to a team that would otherwise be a championship contender.

Russ is a special basketball player.

Houston is just a horrible rebounding team. Other than Capela they have no big men, rebounders. They actually need Russ to rebound. Tucker only averages 5 boards per game as a starting power forward.

So was okc lol. Seems with Russ running and distrbuting, Harden is thriving as just a scorer. Less responsibility for him. Of course Houston has better offensive weapons to compliment russes work. Lets see some gamea against better comp.

27 free throws in 3 qtrs for Anthony Davis. thats rather excessive.

Anyone else fucking sick of coaches challenging fouls?

His FT numbers are probably going to be enormous playing in LA along side Bron one of the more star call benefiting players in the game.
