The way the media talks about it, you'd think New York is the best place to be and not the dumpster fire it has been for the last 20 years. They talk up the Lakers and Boston too no matter how bad they are at any given time.
Well, young millionaire players wanna live in cities with a pulse...so la, ny and Florida cities always have that pull

As for the lakes and C's...they have 35 NBA titles! plus each franchise has rings and multiple finals trips in the last 10 years what do you expect? That's never changing

I'm going to the Golden State/Phoenix game tonight.

I bet on Golden State, of course. Because I'm not stupid.

Hopefully I win back the cost of my ticket. :lol:

Tonight wasn't your night, thats the grind. Not every night is a money-maker.

Just heard that Jeremy Lin will be signing with the Raptors. There's a huge Chinese population here to reinvigorate 'Linsanity" if it's still a thing.

Looking forward to going to the game against Brooklyn tonight. I was hoping to see JV back in action;instead, I'll be welcoming the new, big guy.

Yes, really exciting!! Best game I've been to so far. Sting was in the crowd too and got a Raptor jersey with his name on it. He's in town for a musical he's in, The Last Ship. No pics today, too blurry to post. Nice home debut for Gasol, great reception from the crowd, got a standing ovation. Happy that Kawhi got the winning basket. He seemed out of sorts the last game in New York. I was impressed with Patrick McCaw, so fast! Those Brooklyn boys tho, wow! They got twenty 3s last night! I like the dude with the old school afro, Allen. :lol: Why did the Lakers get rid of D'Angelo Russell?? He is GOOD! My next and last regular season game is on the 26th with The Celtics. By then we'll have Jeremy Lin in the line up and maybe Markief Morris too.

So when is LeBron going to fire Luke?

During the All-Star break or at the end of the season?

If his antics with the Cavs are any indication, he will fire Luke when the Lakers have the best record in the entire NBA.

Fuck Lebron. That guy is literally the worst thing to happen to the NBA in the last 15 years.

I didn't know New Balances weren't cool until people started making fun of him. I like New Balance shoes. I've also been told Sketchers aren't cool.

My favorite shoes are these... I wear them pretty much every day. Super comfortable.

New Balance does 2 things well:

1. Dad shoes
2. Running shoes

Either way, most people don't wear them. They aren't build for style, they are built for comfort.

As far as Skechers... yeah. I don't get that one. I've owned a pair or two and don't see what the issue is. I think the issue is that they are cheap(?)

I had a pair I would wear to work when my old ankle injuries were acting up. They were built like an athletic shoe on the inside, but they were fancy enough on the outside that I didn't feel weird wearing them with slacks. :noclue:

A short doc created by CBC Gem series called 'Inside An Athlete's Head'. The latest one features Demar DeRozan.

Well done, worth a watch.

Miss this guy. :heart:

Excellent. Love him too. Of any place for this guy to get traded...to Pop was the best possible place.

Yes, seems to be a good fit for him.

I'm looking forward to the game on Friday when the Spurs come to town;DD's first game back since he was traded. I hope the Raptors organization does a good tribute for him. I know the fans will give him the longest and loudest standing ovation ever experienced in that arena. DD will feel the love for sure!

Good, he deserves it of all players. I was in Boston when Rondo came back with the Mavs and they received him really well and the video montage were all acts of magic and wizardry on his part as a C champ.

Pop gets the best out of the team both on and off the court, he doesn't want them to just be good NBA players but good people as well. DD was lucky to land with that organization. I'm pretty biased but even when the Lakers and Spurs were playing in the playoffs etc I've never felt animosity. (Hell I do not hate the Cs either just when they meet in the finals)

Good game last night.

I have to admit, I was a little teary watching this. I would have loved to have been there to experience it.
Exciting finish to an emotional night.
Jeremy Lin was good last night. I'm happy we got him.

Went to the Raptors vs Celtics game tonight...:rockon:
The view from my seat.

I'm happy my team won but am wondering what is going on with Boston?? The game was almost boring to me because the Celtics just weren't in it and it came across like they didn't want to play. There's not many regular season games left, hope Brad Stevens cam figure it out. Has Kyrie Irving poisoned the environment a bit?? :noclue:

You guys looked like us last year....impenetrable d and off the charts o....great spacing, passing, switches, picks, coaching.....fucking love playing. We are a total dumpster fire.....so much to blame; it started with Gordon and Brad's allegiance there and has festered to total chaos and destruction. :banghead: :balls: :mad: :nyrexall:
