On some trill shyt, I got a feeling Rozier gonna be a household name after this series. The wildest shyt ever, we walking down the street in NOLA last month or so and no one other than my fam and I recognized dude. a 6'1 fella with his girl behind him wearing his jersey and no one batted an eye

Teginald gone have to come with an entourage after this series tho :wow: (also dude supposed to be a big blood so that probably helped)

Lebron working on that exit strategy from Cleveland? :patrice:


He made himself look good in the reg season by playing all 82 and getting triple doubles so that he’s free from blame.:banderas:
eh if he plans on doin this he'll probably do just enough to make this a hard fought 6 game/7 game series and then bow out next round. Statistics like that 12-0 first round shyt means alot to Bron, he aint letting that go just to find a different team lol .

Ben with 17 points, 14 dimes in playoff debut :wow:

Tatum with 19 points, 10 boards in playoff debut :wow:

Mitchell with 27 points, 10 boards in playoff debut :wow:

Mitchell got hurt and pleaded to get in the game, these rookies a different breed man :wow:
I was just watching this Celtics game runback on TNT and bro...Tatum is just worlds ahead of where a rookie should be in his situation. Donovan had it rough with there being no one else worth fukk on Utah offensively, but he was promised the offensive spotlight as soon as he was ready. Tatum was supposed to be redshirt freshman status going into this season, even after his SL stardom. Give us a solid 8-10 points and let Cacdon, Horford, and Kyrie lead the way. :wow: If Cs get that nikka Kawhi, the rivalry between them and Philly every year is gonna be damn near 80s Cs vs Pistons level

edit: I just realized the Cs could stack the chips with Kyrie and Kawhi and Philly might get Bron :ohhh: the storylines :mjcry:

Outside of Dame's game winner against Houston & CJ going off for 41 against the Warriors, Damian Lillard and CJ McCollum are worse in the playoffs than Kyle Lowry and DeMar DeRozan, but no one seems to notice or care.


Dame Lillard actually plays like what people said Harden plays like in the playoffs. Funny how false narratives just seem to spread.

What I said in another thread. With that exception of the 2014 playoffs, his production has regressed in the postseason every year. Yet somehow he has a safe reputation as a big game performer

At least when Lowry isn't shooting well he's done so much to help his team win playoff games. When Dame isn't shooting well he isn't giving you anything. He isn't playing defense, taking charges (or coming close to leading the the league in them), playmaking for other teammates, grabbing lose balls etc.

For the most part Lowry hasn't had bad games in the playoffs, just bad shooting nights. The narrative has been a bit overblown when it comes to him.

Then he complains he's not put in the same class as Curry and CP3 :mjlol:
