While every team just smokes the Lakers these days, it’s so on brand for the Raptors to have a close game with them and probably lose :beli:
Smacked them on Monday atleast. But yeah I figured that home game last night woulda been another W. Of all times for Russ to come through lol.

Whenever dude touched the ball last night in the late 4th good things happened. Problem is he doesn’t touch it every possesion sim the clutch or even every other possession. We’re a bad team based on record but Green looked hurt last night. He wanted that victory. You can see it in his post game presser. He did all he could with the opportunities presented. If we had a real coach he would tell the tell to run the offense through Green.

Green Wood and KPj all have some weaknesses but one thing that Green trimmed both in is decision making. He doesn’t have KPJ ball handling skills but he’s more decisive and cerebral when he has the ball in his hands. KPJ dances too much at times and is indecisive

The play-in format needs to be gone.

Wolves are 11 wins above the 9th seed. One more win and it's zero theoretical chances of a 9th seed catching them up. They should not be playing in this stupid win or go home play-in format.

I get it but I'm not feeling bad for a 7 seed that loses 2 home games in a win or go home situation, especially if its against the Clippers without Kawhi & PG13

They are also only 1 game back of Denver with about 10 games left so there's time to play their way into the top 6 too.

Yes I know and Denver also deserve the playoffs. Play-in only looks cool when all 4 teams look close to each other record-wise. Like the eastern conference.

Just saw this uploaded @42 Monks

Eric Collins (current Hornets play-by-play) was the Bulls sideline reporter in the 1990s? He hasn't aged much. Look at 45 minutes when he interviews Cartwright :mjlol:


Eric Collins been in the game forever man. College too. A lot of people think he's just some hype man called up out the stands, but in between the stuff he does (that really just took off because he always believed in making any kind of game exciting) dude will drop MAD history throughout the season.

Even before Saddiq Bey dropped 50, dude made sure to give a shout out to his mom - who wasn't just a MVP at her school but went on to do great things on and off the court. Dude was even making it a point to give love to Tyrus Thomas for all the community work he did for his hometown while he was halfway out the league. Every night some guy will stroll in during garbage time, undrafted out of whothefukkstate and Collins will have a whole biography ready to make you root the guy despite the scoreboard.

Steve Martin used to be the voice of Carolina college sports and hoops and did a great job here - still hops on the mic and won't give it up at times :dead: - but Eric been legit since Ahmad Rashad was making rounds.

Cleveland born & raised
This draft is just :wow:
Certain fanbase were hoping Mobley would fold since Allen went down:mjgrin:

Took over the game both defensively and on offense while being clutch against the nuggets :wow:

It’s more to the game than ppg

And he'll lock your shyt down on the other end too.

Can't believe there clowns who think he's not better than guys like Lavine, Mitchell, Booker, Ingram, etc. Those dudes aren't on his level
I agree with Lavine & maybe Ingram.The rest are same tier.It's Luka/Ja on the young superstar tier.Book, Mitchell, and Tatum on the Star tier.Lavine & Ingram on the very good tier.I would've had Booker on the very good tier, but he's actually playing defense this year.#1 rated defensive SG in the league up to this point in the season.
