    I don't think he is...and I don't think too many think that because as of right now he is just a very talented kid but in order to be a franchise player he would have to average at least 25/7/4 or something...thats a stretch I believe.

    What is scrary though is how good every C bag draft pick has become. They have their 2 best guys out and still not missing a beat.

    Rozier all of a sudden is giving them 20/5/7 or something like that. Brown has been very good even though inconsistent, and the other guys are just getting it done overall. No excuses. And I guess their coach might be top 3 in basketball.

    Stevens is legit. It's a shame he's a C bag.

    Is Nance injured or just completely out of Cleveland's rotation now that Thompson is back?

    Has a 1 seed ever been swept by a 4 seed?

    I think it'll be a Rockets vs. Cavs finals.

    James Harden is gonna dance all over Kevin Durant and Stephen, not because he's light years better but because breathing on him sends him to the freethrow line.

    I keep saying the Cavs might win a title and LeBron will stay in Cleveland.

    What a sad showing by the Raptors. Couldn’t even muster one one for pride’s sake. 13 points for DeRozan, 5 for Lowry, they’re screwed, they need to blow it up. What a ridiculous strategy to have a scared rookie like Anunoby guard LeBron and have him go off. They didn’t double him, and when they did throw help defenders at him it was players like CJ Miles and Siakam who couldn’t do jack.

    How in the world does a 60 win team get swept in the playoffs. The freaking Pacers put up more of a fight. What a joke. LeCavs have a pep in their step and will probably run over either if the inexperienced teams to reach the finals again.

    Well, it was nice to see the C Bags lose at least. Can Philly win 3 more straight? I'm not betting on it, unfortunately. Wish they could. I like that they at least fought back unlike the gutless and worthless Craptors.

    I'm pulling for the C Bags to come out of the east. One, they aren't winning a title so nothing to really about. And two, they're actually been a likeable team outside of Smarts flopping. I can't stand philly and the process and Simmons and embiids douchiness

    I don’t know if you were serious or not, but he did have a great game. Larger point maybe, putting him in the starting lineup and having him run point just showed that LeBron could in fact easily play next to Simmons. Simmons got 19 points, 13 boards, and 5 assists playing next to McConnell.

    I think people are way to quick to put put dirt over GSW. I see GSW's experience, physicality, and talent shining when they need it the most. However, I do think this will be the toughest test yet for GSW in the WCF in the last 4 years for them.

    I thought this was pretty much established the first time they met
