    Nope. LaVar himself :D as well as really smart people here have me convinced along with my own eyes. When it's really cooking with Lonzo out there individually (offense and defense) and the team and Lonzo's hitting a good % of his shots .... he is not only a better and even more valuable player than Mitchell, he is more spectacular in doing it. Lonzo with the cat quick reflexes and brain and Boing Vert hops in same zip code with Mitchell. :cool:

    Definitely! Everything that Bob Myers and Steve Kerr are about and what they pass onto their players and how those players approach the game... Tons of respect from me.

    There are no winners in either of these videos, just both players in each flopping around like fish and embarrassing the league and themselves.

    The only person I don’t particularly care for on the Warriors is Draymond. Curry is my favorite, then Klay, then Iggy, then everyone else. But all in all the Warriors did it the right way, built through the draft and developed the heck out of their players. They’ve all bought into the system / culture and you can’t get mad at that.

    Really the only teams I despise in the nba (besides the Green) are Cleveland aka any Lebron team and Houston.

    1. The Raptors are pathetic. The Cavs have 2 players that don’t suck, and they’re letting one of them, Love, destroy them.

    2. The refs are awful, someone really wants Warriors-Cavs part 4 to happen.

    I don’t remember LeBron purchasing the Toronto Raptors, but he must have somewhere along the line, because clearly he owns them. Hell, he might have purchased all of Toronto, seems like he owns all of it. Lowry and DeRozan should be ashamed, I hope they see him in their nightmares.

    LOL at the Raptors right now. Just hilarious meltdown from these chumps. Number one seed in the East means very little, especially if you are Toronto.

    Pacers and Cavs would be a more deserved 2nd round matchup. Toronto should just play the regular season and forget about the playoffs and give their spot to the 9th seed

    Yep. Everyone, including Toronto, knew they weren’t going to win this series. Playoffs are a different animal and the Raptors always have been fake news.

    Is Philly really ready to go the Finals? At this point, I can't see anything other than Cavs/Warriors again.

    In the Lakers more desperate off seasons years ago I remember many wanting Derozan, if for no other reason than to snag a big name free agent. The typical hometown guy coming back to his origins. Boy am I glad we didn’t get him. I just don’t find him very effective, despite his stats. The raptors will need to make serious changes, either the head coach or adding a true clutch player on the floor. That team is forgettable.

    I've never been a Derozan fan and he's proving me right as per his usual. I didn't want him then nor now. He's a good athlete but man, his b-ball IQ is low and so is his skill level. Can't shoot to save his life. Un-clutch. Weak "star."

    Good to see Philly putting up a better fight tonight. I think this series goes 7.

    Yea the Boston-Philly rivalry is back. They both will be better next year and will battle it out for years.

    It’s good to see the Knicks get Fizdale. Finally a move that makes sense. They just need a few pieces and they will be in the battle too. Can’t say anything for the rest of the east though.
