I’m here now. It’s gonna be packed.
I guess a G-League team is a guinea pig for a possible NBA team. I don’t know whether it will work though. The elevation is a bytch here.
yeah? All before they give Seattle another team
Here's a clip of the show I was talking about
First, you claimed he shot well in a game that "didn't matter", while trying to claim it was a bullshyt stat to throw out there - an elimination spot is a game that matters, you were wrong.
Then you claimed, "it didn’t matter because the points came after the game was out of touch" - I provided evidence that he only scored 2 of his 35 points when the game was out of touch, once again you were wrong.
Then you claimed, the game was "never close", and that "he put up a lot of points in a blow out with no pressure down 18" - you had the nerve to manipulate when he scored his points during the margin-leads of the game - I provided evidence to show that he scored 12 points in the first half, cutting down the margin to an 11-point game at the half. He then scored 18 points by himself in the third quarter to keep it a 12-point game at the end of that quarter, showing you that he was the main reason why the game was still within reach with a quarter to go. You were wrong.
Now you're claiming you remember that game vividly (you clearly do NOT), then you say they took LeBron out at the end of that quarter - what the hell does that have to do with the argument? Especially since he was taken out with 30 seconds left in the quarter. Then you say they went on a little run in that quarter, which conflicts with your early statement of the game never being close. You then said they knew what was going to happen in the 4th, now explain to me how the hell that is even relevant to the point you were making when Lowry was the one who kept them in the game, while you originally argued he put up points in a game that didn't matter; points that came after the game was out of touch; never close; and he put up a lot points when it was a blow out.
You basically shifted the whole entire argument, making misstep after misstep, into basically arguing some bullshyt about 'yeah, you could say the Raptors kept the game within reach, but knew they were gonna lose in the 4th'.
Do I need to reiterate to you how ridiculous you sound right now? You was wrong, nikka. No amount of deflection, bullshyt, lies and changing the argument is gonna change that fact.
Pathetic.
Stop pushing this talking point, you've already been proven wrong.
First of all, I remember that game "vividly", certainly A LOT clearer than you do - I was posting throughout the thread about it. Miss with me with that shyt. I'm showing you the play-by-play to prove that your recollection of the game was wrong, where you claimed he scored most of his points in a blowout/when the game wasn't close. Your preconception idea of his game is blurring what you remember during that series.
What legends did CP3 go toe-to-toe against and come out on top beside the Spurs in '14/'15? How is that series relevant to my argument when I specifically told you I'm talking about their respective states of play now and the last couple of seasons - that Spurs series was before then. Remind me what has CP3 done in the playoffs over the last couple of years?
He got injured in the first round of the 2016 playoffs
He choked in the first round of the 2017 playoffs losing to a lower seed - including a horrible performance in Game 7 where he didn't bother to show up
Lowry led his team to the ECF in 2016; including two back-to-back 30-pt performances against the Heat in Games 6 and 7 - you know when you claimed " he shoots well in non pressure situations but his shooting seems to regress in the biggest moments." On the back of that series, he produced two more 30-pt performances (one that came in a elimination spot, again he shot well in a "big moment" - his shooting didn't regress), including taking two games off the the eventual NBA champs - a series/playoffs in which he was dealing with an injury throughout pretty much every game, which directly affected his shot.
Lowry was most definitely "good" in that series, while he wasn't perfected, he was by far his team's best player, and had better performances than all the Cavs players too (Game 4 specifically).

First of all, the game is about getting buckets - scoring is the most important thing in the game; scoring skillset and scoring impact is the heaviest stone when weighing up who's the better player. The fact you're admitting that Lowry has been the better scorer over the last couple of seasons should mean that my claim of them being on the same level isn't as "absurd" as you're making it out to be. Other than Curry, Lowry has the best shot/pass management out of all the PGs in the game. Lowry is RIGHT THERE with CP3 when it comes to "pace, flow and distribution", he is a master at not dominating the ball while providing elite playmaking, not overplaying his hand and pigeonholing his teammates' skillsets, and playing within the flow of the offense (again, only Curry is better).
In the only playoff series where he was healthy over the last couple of years, he ended up choking in the first round. If you looked at this from a reasonable view, you would see that they've both been playing on the same level over the last two seasons.

Dwight Howard
Superstar
Wizards trade: Kelly Oubre, Marcin Gortat, Markieff Morris
Grizzlies trade: Marc Gasol, Jarrell Martin
who says no?..or
Cavs trade: Thompson, Osman, Nets Pick
Grizzlies trade: Marc Gasol
Cavs pick might be the most valuable asset..but..who wants to pay Trista Thompson 17m for another 3 years?..granted it would give them 2 lottery picks this year, but they are still paying Mike max money and he 30. The Wizards deal could pay off if Oubre pans out and continues his upward trend. plus you got 2 contracts coming off the books in 19.

Wiz say no imo. They should look to dump Mahinmi in a deal with Oubre. And I don’t think Gasol gets them over Boston or Cleveland.
Dwight Howard

theyd probably have to give up a 1st to unload mahimi. Gasol is 32, but he should have like 3-4 good years left at his position.
We know Grunfeld has no issue doing that. He gave one up for a half season rental last year.
I think they go after DJ if a trade happens.
