Bebe has been great! Are there really people complaining about him? Get back to me when jv can defend a disabled person!

 

Get back to me when Nogueira can grab a rebound with his two hands or properly box out someone at least 4 inches shorter than him.

[West Texas Forever]

Imagine if Harden, KD and Westbrook would be on the same team still? OCK would look really amazing if they would have stayed.

[jays_fever]

Not sure if anyone caught the highlights of the Knicks-Nets game a couple days ago but the final play involved Melo not even trying to get a hand up agaisnt the game winning shot...and then called out his team

 

Also Rose wants a max contract. That franchise is a disaster

[burlingtonbandit]

I still don't buy on/off numbers

 

Certainly not the be all end all but its a good stat used in the right context. Like JV and DD have always never had good ratings and the sample is large enough where it can't just be a coincidence anymore.

I don't think so. Harden needed a new place to play alone and develop his tools.

Not if you use a cheese grater it's not. You are forgiven for misunderstanding what I was trying to say.

[Dr. Dinger]

No wonder you're so grumpy.

[Abomination]

Wow, this game turned around fast. Funny what happens when you actually decide to put in some effort.

[Orgfiller]

Lol the Knicks are hot garbage. The Raptors are having their way with them. I'm pretty sure they didn't score in the third quarter for like 10 minutes.

[John_Havok]

Best part about the game today.. Lowry and Derozan played 28 minutes each. Coach finally realized when you're up by 40 you don't need your best guys on the floor until 4 minutes left in the 4th.

[John_Havok]

GS up on the Cavs by 19 with 3 minutes left in the half. It's like Cleveland isn't even there right now.

 

Here's hoping for a LeBron wake up call to make this a game

[burlingtonbandit]

This might be the best I've seen the Warriors play. NBA is the best sport to watch entertainment wise when you get the 2 best teams playing.

If I was better at research, I'd try to find the last time someone dropped 78 points on the Cavs in a half. This is dominating

[burlingtonbandit]

Like they just dropped 78 points in the first half on the NBA champions. That last sequence was ridiculous.

[Orgfiller]

Did you guys see LeBron's flop at halfcourt on what was later ruled a Draymond Green flagrant? Just lol

Shot 62% from the field and held that Cavs to 34%. Dominate on both sides of the ball. Lol best stat of all might be the Warriors had 3 FT attempts in the first half.

Looked like he was shot. Lol.

[GD]

Nogueira at the 4 just f*** up my s*** fam

[GD]

f***

up

my

s***

lmao

[John_Havok]

Nogueira at the 4 just f*** up my s*** fam

 

Nogueira hit a 3 point shot?

 

Why isn't Lowry playing?

 

So many questions......

[Abomination]

Why isn't Lowry playing?

 

I was wondering that too. Missed the first few mins.

[jays4life19]

Resting him since the nets suck.

[John_Havok]

Resting him since the nets suck.

 

Better hope Demar starts shooting better than 20%. Quite honestly I don't believe the Raps are good enough to completely rest 1 of Demar or Lowry in any game and feel good about their chances of winning. Demar can now be focused on with 0 others real scoring threats.

 

Granted it's the Nets. ..

[John_Havok]

Lol at DeRozan halftime stats.....

 

3 of 14 from the field, 10/10 from the line.

I think the Raps would be just fine without Derozan. You give his shots to more efficient shooters like Lowry, Ross, Carrol etc..

 

Without Lowry this team finishes bottom 10.

[burlingtonbandit]

JV needs to be better defensively. Nets had 38 points in the paint.

No argument here. Derozan is only scoring because of free throws, and volume shooting from places on the floor that don't really get defended anymore because they've been found to be inefficient shots.

 

I guess kudos have to go to him to a point for developing his game to take advantage of it, but theres a reason why you don't hear younger players say they model their game after his.

CoJo was amazing tonight. Really impressive
