These guys are big mad People really balled out last night Lillard dropped 60 D-Lo 52 Doncic 38 pt triple dub All losses Spicy P dropped 44 in 17-27 shooting and 5/10 from 3. This man looking like a candidate for MIP again. Scary how good he can be. Unfortunately looks like Lowry and Ibaka's injuries are pretty serious and they face the Lakers next. Smh |

A40: The Raptors vs Lakers game will be mad entertaining. Watching the Raptors play this season has shown that they are a good team, Kawhi was just a bonus. Montrezl Harrell vs Pascal Siakam, Landry Shamet vs Danny Green, Zubac vs Gasol, what about Fred VanVleet, Kyle Lowry and Serge Ibaka? Compared to the Clippers, that team is solid, they can afford to Load manage Kawhi. Even Carmelo Anthony would’ve made them win the chip |

Warriors sorry for the loss eeehhhh!! Sh1t happens! Timberwolves gave y'all serious beating |
Re: The NBA Begins by DeeMain(m): 12:05pm On Nov 09, 2019 |
xwolverine: I do not agree. Kawhi has the it factor. A player can be very good and not have it. A team can be good and still be cut down in the playoffs when the chips are down if they don't have such a player. Without Kawhi or a Kawhiesque player Raptors wouldn't have won that championship. 2 Likes |

xwolverine:Lakers would smoke them no cap. I'm not saying they're not a good team but they don't match up well. At all. |
Re: The NBA Begins by steady986(m): 1:07pm On Nov 09, 2019 |
DeeMain:You never can tell, after all, they faced depleted teams. |
Re: The NBA Begins by darkelf: 1:17pm On Nov 09, 2019 |
Nostradamus: Joy comes in the morning. Enjoy your gratification while it's lasts. I hope you won't cry that they have 5 all stars in the future when these current guys start to ball hard |
Re: The NBA Begins by darkelf: 1:19pm On Nov 09, 2019 |
SmooshCHN: As in, these guys are really vindictive ooo Na wa. Well, that's what makes a true champion. Everyone wants to beat the warriors |

A40:have you noticed it is the butthurt fakers that is complaining? They are looking for anything just to drag the brother. |
Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody: 1:24pm On Nov 09, 2019 |
One thing this season has taught me is that lethal shooter is a fraud. All the guys that trained with him are shooting even worse than usual, AD can't make his 3s, fadeaway and mid-range jump shots anymore, KCP has reached superhuman levels of bricking, Kuzma has gone from volume shooter to bonafide bricklayer. SMH |
Re: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 1:24pm On Nov 09, 2019 |
xwolverine:This is pure myth and Urban legend. They were a good regular season team till Kawhi's arrival. The league and NBA history is fraught with good regular season teams. Without Kawhi they barely make it past the Magic never mind Philly who would have swept them. Kawhi put them over the top and was the difference on both ends of the floor. You think LeBron would have been b!tch slapping Toronto if they had Kawhi?? Absolutely not Carmelo Anthony has only ever been to 1 Conference Finals but he would have led the Raptors to a chip. Leeeemaoooo |
Re: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 1:25pm On Nov 09, 2019 |
yomi96:Their team is 7-1 but they are worried about Kawhi. I'm really confused. Shouldn't they be happy? At this rate they are virtually assured of #1 seed for the rest of the postseason |
Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody: 1:35pm On Nov 09, 2019 |
DeeMain: Can't remember a team ever winning a chip without at least one superstar. The raptors without kawhi are journeymen. Sort of like the 60 win Hawks team or the clippers last year. It's the superstar that gives the team an extra edge. That being said, how good are the clippers huh? Seed doesn't even matter for these guys, they will destroy teams in the post season. Imagine this team with PG. Sheesh! |
Re: The NBA Begins by xwolverine: 1:35pm On Nov 09, 2019 |
A40: Laker fans are not going to let it slide as long as Kawhi and New Balance continue to make snide remarks like “it’s Kawhi’s town now” blaziblah, and who says they’re not happy? They are just letting the Chokers know what time it is and it’s personal now. Check the NBA hate map, the Chokers are the only team hated in their own home state. |
Re: The NBA Begins by xwolverine: 1:38pm On Nov 09, 2019 |
TalonVonner: PG is good but he’s not all that, he’s hella moist. Give me Iggy any day and the Lakers will match up. And Dame still dropped the half court buzzer beater on his ass last season. |
Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody: 1:40pm On Nov 09, 2019 |
xwolverine: Just admit it. The clippers with a healthy kawhi and Paul George are one of the greatest teams ever assembled. The Lakers will be in trouble. I'm a Lakers fan, I absolutely believe this. |
Re: The NBA Begins by xwolverine: 1:41pm On Nov 09, 2019 |
TalonVonner: People are out here planning how to get KCP re-arrested, lethal shooter is a con man. |
Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody: 1:41pm On Nov 09, 2019 |
xwolverine: Paul George is arguably the second best two way player in the league after guess who? Kawhi Leonard. In the right setting PG is a beast in the playoffs as he was in Indiana. Don't mess with playoff P. |
Re: The NBA Begins by SmooshCHN: 1:42pm On Nov 09, 2019 |
TalonVonner:He might not be fraud especially for who he is. He is called Lethal Shooter for a reason. Dude shoots lights out. The problem is players going to him to tweak their jumpshot in 2months from something they've been doing the same way for over 15yrs. It can never work. You cannot teach new form and when you step on court at any competitive level, your default setting kicks in and messes everything up. NBA players of all people should know that even though he is lethal, shooting form cannot be changed overnight. Stick to your form and tweak it yourself. I brick everytime I try to shoot like Klay. At this point, Kuzma, KCP just gave the dude free money and I'm sure he gave them what works for him which cannot work for them. 2 Likes |
Re: The NBA Begins by xwolverine: 1:45pm On Nov 09, 2019 |
TalonVonner: They’re are deep, but not unbeatable, calling them one of the greatest team ever assembled is a stretch bro, you want to put them in the same category as the KD warriors, Isaiah Thomas’ Pistons, Jordan’s bulls? Relax, they’re good but not Unbeatable, even LeBron’s 2016 Cavs would smoke them. |
Re: The NBA Begins by xwolverine: 1:48pm On Nov 09, 2019 |
SmooshCHN: To be fair, last season KCP avg. 40% from 3pt after working with him, not sure what’s happened this year |
Re: The NBA Begins by SmooshCHN: 1:53pm On Nov 09, 2019 |
xwolverine:He trained with Lethal Shooter and fuckéd everything up. That's the only cause we can point to. 1 Like |

SmooshCHN: I am not denying how good of a shooter he is. But you just explained exactly what makes him a fraud. |

Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody: 2:07pm On Nov 09, 2019 |
xwolverine: Best two way player in the league, Kawhi. Second best two way player in the league, PG. Best sixth man in the league, Lou. Second best sixth man in the league, Harrell. Best defensive PG in the league, Pat. Hall of fame coach, Doc. This team is on paper as great as some of these teams, they just need the accomplishments to prove it. On paper no other team in the NBA can come close. |
Re: The NBA Begins by xwolverine: 2:08pm On Nov 09, 2019 |
SmooshCHN: I’m saying he worked with him last season too and his threes improved from the low thirties to 40%. Something is definitely wrong |
Re: The NBA Begins by SmooshCHN: 2:14pm On Nov 09, 2019 |
TalonVonner:I see where you're coming from however, fraud would be wrong way to describe what's happening. |
Re: The NBA Begins by SmooshCHN: 2:17pm On Nov 09, 2019 |
TalonVonner:Warriors were the best team in the league on paper when they went into that 2016 finals with the 73-9 record. Key word: On paper. Nuff said. |
Re: The NBA Begins by SmooshCHN: 2:17pm On Nov 09, 2019 |
xwolverine:Probably his old technique coming back. The only way he can get out of this is to keep shooting. |
Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody: 2:18pm On Nov 09, 2019 |
SmooshCHN: He claims to be able to do something which according to you is not even possible and he takes peoples money for it. What does that make him? I mean i like the dude, he seems like a nice guy, but theres no other way to describe this. |
Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody: 2:20pm On Nov 09, 2019 |
SmooshCHN: Yeah but the warriors didnt have KD then. This clippers team arent like the 60 win raptors or hawks (built for the regular season). This team is built for the post season. No one can stop the clippers. |
