The 2020-21 NBA Thread: Raptors in 7

i really hope rockets and clippers become a thing, bc they can have a better rivalry than either one of them can have with the warriors.

i’m down for some pettiness and scrap. but all that is meaningless unless its competitive. think the clips and rockets is closer in skill gap, and that paul vs blake rage is pretty dope as well.

LOL THEY SENT CLINT CAPELA AS A 7 FT DECOY SO CHRIS PAUL COULD LEAD A STRIKE TEAM THROUGH A SECRET PASSAGE TO SNATCH AUSTIN RIVERS ASS UP FROM THE LOCKER ROOM

Lol that was gold, cant wait their next game

Gerald is with the shits, he would’ve used all 4 fingers on his right hand to make an effective fist. Austin Rivers should thank his luck.

MLK didn’t march for this!

btw:

Summary:

The way it’s looking now there might be a repeat come playoffs.

Barring an injury i dont see how anyone beats GS. Shits been a lock since the start of the season.

A healthy Houston is capable of beating them.

Cleveland has been a let down so far. I watch pretty much all their games to a varying degree (playing PS4 while watching, etc) and a lot of these dudes don’t play hard. Only Lebron, Love, Wade and Korver have been consistent. Too early to say about IT. The rest of these dudes seem like they riding the Lebron train, assuming they’ll get to Finals.

In other news, SIXERS DIDN’T FULLY BLOW A LEAD! Even though they tried their best. I’ll say it again, Brett Brown needs to go. This dude’s rotations are mind-boggling. We’d be lucky if we could get Fizdale in here, though the Lakers job is probably more attractive due to location and clearly better front-office.

Heh, I always gotta smile when that bench line up with Dirk, Barea and Harris play smoohtly together. Specially seeing how hard it is for Dirk to get speed with tiny steps, or all the bending of his legs and back he does on the court. Pretty amazing that he can still play NBA basketball with his body.

Lmao

Can’t be real!

Well he is from Houston right?

Doubt it would’ve happened before last night’s events - highly doubt it’ll happen now.

I was watching First Take when Steven A. said it and it seems that some Clippers players miss him. I don’t think he and DJ had the best relationship, but DJ probably realizes he’s a better player with him than w/o.

Are you saying Stephen A Smith is lying?

No but remember when Clippers bullied Mark Cuban for him?

surprised nobody mentioned this yet.


lol…lowrey running off to scrap after simmons offers to serve him up a two piece in the tunnel.



Nobody was gonna do anything. Lowry went back there to decompress.

Lowry, Ibaka, DeRozan, they’ve all been pretty feisty these past couple of weeks.

Everybody tired of cold weather and they wanna fight each other.
