Cavs with Jarrett Allen in place of Drummond are a completely different team. Not saying they're serious Finals contenders or anything close, but their reputation as a dumpster fire lottery team that you should be embarrassed losing to every time is inaccurate now that Andre is permanently out of the picture. Team plays very hard and SexLand (:dead: at that nickname) are 2nd only to Chicago in terms of microwave backcourts that can catch fire any night in the East.

That Brooklyn Backcourt is pretty alright too...

Thats why those nikkas should have gone to the Knicks. To get the true acclaim they deserve...Knicks always gonna be synonymous with New York. I still hear a lot of dudes slip up and call the Nets “New Jersey”

Facts, shyt would’ve been on another level. Only thing I can say is that they might not have been able to trade for Harden. Other than that tho, woulda got more bang for their buck.

If you think you're lonely now, ohhh girl...
Went to the Jazz/Magic game last night.

I was really impressed by Joe Ingles. He’s a dude you can’t rush no matter how much you try to pressure him. He’s always in control and he understand his limitations as a player.

Clarkson has a lot of “pep in his step.” It’s really noticeable in person. He’s bouncier and springier than almost everyone else on the floor.

Spyda isn’t as quick/explosive as I’d thought he’d be in person, but his handle is way better: lightening quick crosses. Like, he’s dribbling hard and fast af but is in complete control. He was the only guy on the floor like that.

MCW = trash. Legit gets in the lane and doesn’t even look at the basket.

Yeah ingles is a baller :ehh:

it’s crazy watching these players in person

I saw Chris Paul play when he was with OKC at Barclays and dude just took over the game and OT. No wasted movement, just straight up midrange buckets

He's gotten better. I remember him with the Cavs a few years ago...kinda average with a streaky jumpshot. Now he's almost 40% from 3 and is improved in every area. I guess this is what it means to hit your prime...

Old Brooklyn


:patrice: Didn’t he talk shyt about Trae doing the same thing?

I don't like the Mavs or luka. But, Luka doesn't game the system with trying to draw fouls in a bytch ass way the way Trae has become a jedi at it.

Trae's whole game is fukking terrible for the NBA regarding how he hunts for foul calls.
