    Lol Simmons is a funny guy. He doesn't hide his hate for the Lakers. He liked Randle too. I recall him saying it was a great pick and he was upset because he hates us. I think he knows the only reason his team is better than us is because of the coach.

    Simmons is funny, but I don't like him complimenting us. I want the hate to run deep. You hate us. We hate you. That's just the way it is.

    That final 3 from Russell was a nice shot! Considering he doesn't jump that much for his jump shot, he arched it highhhhhhhh

    I've noticed that too. He barely gets off the ground. Can't tell if that's a good thing or not.

    Woke up, checked the box score (twice), WOW. I was soooo happy when we got him over Jah, told you so :p.
    This game should be more than enough to fire b0ron on the spot...

    Plenty of great shooters don't jump much on their shot.

    Just such an amazing night. Really proud of the kid. DLo seems to have taking this whole season in stride. Byron has tried his best to destroy him, yet DLo is on a roll.

    Am out of town and missed the kid's coming out party but to your point I think it's great he gives it right back to Scott the a-hole with nothing good to say about him in return. Totally jacked up his once in a lifetime situation of being "in the conversation" for NBA ROTY. With next to no communication from Boron at the time he and Randle were yanked from the starting lineup and their minutes cut Scott deserves no credit.

    This game is a prime example of what people were saying during the scouting process: its hard not to see little tiny slivers of Steph peeking through in his game. The same effortless shot, the ability to penatrate and use the Curry/Harden stop and go in the lane to use defenders momentum against them, the court vision.

    I doubt he ever becomes what Steph is now (will anyone ever again?), but if he's 70% of Steph, this pick will be looked back on with the same reverence as the Magic/Worthy/Kobe picks.

    Just absolutely LOVE this kid! Is it too early to give him the 25 year contract like Magic?
