    Man is playing impressive basketball at the age of 40. I have never seen anything like this before, honestly. His outside shot is just getting even better, seems like he has unlimited range on threes now.

    i need to just copy and paste my posts about this. i really don't think he was going to take the 20 million dollar cut it would have taken to get valanciunas with the mle. i simply don't believe it.

    the story that we just didn't want to do the third year on valanciunas doesn't make sense to me.

    I had really, really wanted that to happen too. We could have really used Valenciunas. Maybe we can get him still, but would have been nice to just do it in free agency and not give up assets.

    Ramping up again. Ridiculous performance tonight. Bonkers that the NBA all team leading score should have been a PG

    I realize some of you guys have Lebron in your top 10, but..... If Lebron decided to go for averaging a triple double this year (Less scoring, more all around play is what we need from him), and we win big in his year 40 22nd season, he will get more attention for GOAT. Until then, he's just top 20 at best.

    Get off my lawn

    Top 20. Ergo …. there could be 19 players ranked higher? At best. Even Kobe would :Laugh: at that.

    Enjoy it while he's still out there doing it



    Fan should've gotten game ball


    He found that gear when AD had to leave and had his finger prints over everything that happened from that moment forward. Historically, if there's an opponent he doesn't respect, he's not pulling that out of his bag in November no matter what. Props for ratcheting up the level of play and the team really fed off that.

    This is why we need reenforcements, Toronto was on a back to back, without their best player.

    Third straight effortless looking triple doubled, in year 22 is just wild. Shooting 44% from 3 before this game, hit 4/7 in this one.

    Did folks really think he's worth only 20 million a year?
    Bonkers that his 3 point shooting has gotten so good it's making up for the clear drop off in athleticism.

    If Knecht can play like this he might end up leading the league in assists
