Masai is the best! :heart:
News reports- without any specific deatils- are coming out that Kawhi's people were being very unreasonable with their trade demands from the Raptors. Now the trade with the Clippers is a 2+1 instead of 4.

Great trade by Houston for Westbrook and getting rid of Chris Paul. Paul already had enough opportunities, and for late round 1st picks It's a steal for Houston.

A recipe for complete disaster....2 glory/hero ballers who can't give up the rock, not to mention their personalities.

Can't give up the rock? Russell led the entire league in assists the past 2 seasons and the year before that it was Harden.

Of course they lead in assists...if you don't get the ball from them you aren't gonna have the ball at all...ask Chris Paul about both of them...ballhogs...no movement

Russell is known for creating scoring opportunities for his teamates. That's why Paul George had the best season of his career this year by a mile.

He's known for wasting the majority of the shot clock and then passing when he gets into trouble.

Paul George just happened to be the recipient of a lot of those passes, and possesses the skill to get it in the basket a large percentage of the time.

It's the same game that Harden and Lebron play. They spend the whole shot clock trying to get the points for themselves. If they can't do it, they pass. It puts high amounts of pressure on their teammates, who get the fucking boot if they can't do something in under 2 seconds.

But it leads to lots of points and assists for the heros.

If that were true Paul George would have never decided to stay with the thunder way before free agency began last year.

The Raptors will be playing their first Christmas day game against Boston. Also, Lakers vs Clippers should be very entertaining.

I don't know who this dude is but he seems pissed off. :lol:




September 6th, single game tickets go on sale. I'm going to try to see a few games again this year. I would love to go to the first game against the Pelicans and for the ring ceremony. I'll likely get tickets for a Nets and Kings game again. Not sure who else, maybe Clippers or Lakers, depending in the prices.

For someone who thinks he is "the greatest ever", Lebron sure needs a shit ton of fucking help to beat a handful of short dudes who can make a long 3 pointer.

….and the predictions begin

Who will win the NBA title?
Heading into 2018-19, the Golden State Warriors received every first-place vote in this category. Now there's more competition, with the LA Clippers leading the way as the most likely NBA champion.
1. LA Clippers: 117 points (54.5% first-place votes)
2. Milwaukee Bucks: 85 points (36.4% first-place votes)
3. Philadelphia 76ers: 38 points (6.1% first-place votes)
4. Los Angeles Lakers: 29 points
5. Golden State Warriors: 15 points (3.0% first-place votes)
6. Houston Rockets: 11 points
7. Utah Jazz: 3 points
