Wow. Kyle Lowry literally won the Raptors the game tonight. All around one of the best performances in a while.

Sulligner had Bradley wide open at the end..yet he dribbles all the way out to the 3 pt line

[GD]

That was such a smooth stepback

Demar had the passing line semi-decently protected

[SpeedyGose]

out rebounded by 31 lol

[burlingtonbandit]

Biggest reason Raps won other than Lowry. Raps 7 TO, BOS 27.

[burlingtonbandit]

out rebounded by 31 lol

 

Part of the benefit of going small is you will force more TO (hopefully) and will give up more OREB.

[Angrioter]

Rondo is damn good. Smart overrated (Elfrid Payton underrated)

nah

[dineke]

Toronto is the #1 seed in the Eastern Conference. Start the parade.

[jays_fever]

Rondo had more rebounds than Demar, Patrick Patterson, Terrance Ross, James Johnson and Greg Stiemsma combined

[burlingtonbandit]

Demarcus Cousins going HAM in the first half vs DEN. 26 points and 9 REB in only 16 min.

Do you think its worth trading kobe straight up for lebron? Yes lebrons struggling but this is how the heat started out to and he went on a roll? FG percentage is a thing in our league and kobe is terrible with that but he will score 30-40 a night with the offence he's rollin with.

Lebron James >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Kobe Bryant

[baseballsss]

lol fair enough just afraid kobes gunna go on his 50 point streaks and that would suck

[burlingtonbandit]

Lol that has to be a joke question. Im not big into fantasy basketball but Lebron is so much better. Even if they were similar Kobe will probably get hurt since hes so old.

Not really Kobe doesn't have an offence and is a selfish player. He'll score a ton more points while still putting up some assists. Lebron isn't selfish and playing with Love who's a decent shooter and a big will see more of the ball. Lebron will get 25 points a night his usual 8 rebounds 8 assists. Lebron is 20x the player in real life but fantasy wise not sure if the value is there when Kobe can atleast win FT and PNTS category(not by himself but he'll put up a lot)

My thinking would be the bump in points isn't nearly enough for it to be worth it. Lebron will shoot a really high % while still giving you a ton of points and tbh I don't see Kobe scoring much more than Lebron anyways. Kobe also sucks for 3s if thats a cat you have.

Yah fair enough you are right. 3s are a category and FGP wise lebron kills kobe. Point wise I was thinking long term that if the lakers keep losing kobe will be paddin his stats. But yah overall your right.

That's the type of win that can create a ton of positive momentum for a team.

 

Lowry is such a bulldog.

[burlingtonbandit]

Lol Lowry ORtg last night was 169. His shooting in the first few games was off but hopefully last night turns it around and we see his 3 point shooting like last year.

So much win in this gif. Great steal, great awareness to see Demar trailing, great finish by Demar.

It's incredible he even knew Demar was there from that replay.

Would either team (Cleveland, Minnesota) do a trade for Ricky Rubio for Kyrie Irving?

[Dr. Dinger]

Why on Earth would Cleveland consider that?

[immature]

Why on Earth would Cleveland consider that?

 

Better defender and far better distributor. Cleveland also has a plethora of scorers and a past first point guard would be a good fit.

They're both overrated but that trade doesn't really do much to make it worthwhile. I think Irving for Rondo would be a better fit.

[eastcoastjaysfan]

Irving is a ballhog, plain and simple. That is an off-the-wall trade idea but it might actually make Cleveland a better team.

 

I'm surprised Waiters hasn't been traded yet.

[burlingtonbandit]

No one probably wants him. Hes probably a negative player.

 

Sounds like JV and Amir are GTD. If both are out of the lineup this game is going to be really hard to win. Gortat is going to go nuts.
