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

I don't blame him for trying


All these social justice workers online would have taken up his case and his firm forced to pay him


This new wave of political correctness will destroy America


If the forensic firm didn't find out that it was him, trust me trans, gay rights activists would have taken up the case


America is heading into a very dangerous place


Hahahaha update*
You think America is worse, try Canada with what Justin Trudeau is doing. Best thing is to stay quiet and watch everything unfold. grin

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

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.

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.

You never can tell, after all, they faced depleted teams.

Fans will be alright. Kawhi's injury clearly is debilitating and has to be managed just like Embiid was. Why is it so hard for people to understand this? You guys want another Blake Griffin, Brandon Roy case or what
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

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

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

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!

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.

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.

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.

People are out here planning how to get KCP re-arrested, lethal shooter is a con man.

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.

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.

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.

To be fair, last season KCP avg. 40% from 3pt after working with him, not sure what’s happened this year

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

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.

Warriors were the best team in the league on paper when they went into that 2016 finals with the 73-9 record.

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.
