I rolled my ankle doing the edwards backboard lob in pickup today lmao. Getting old sucks.

Damien Lillard is a better shooter than Steph Curry.

Change my mind.

Dame is not a better shooter than Steph, not from the field, not from 3, and not from the line, however, he is more clutch. If I have to pick one to take the last shot I pick Dame.

Honestly between all 3, death ray pointed at Earth, I'm taking IgouDALLA.

Eh... I don't know. Definitely not from 3. Steph's had more space and easier shots his entire career compared to Dame.

Point taken, lets say Steph is better from 3 and FT's and Dame is better from mid-range, I'm still taking Dame in any clutch shot situation. Steph is best when front-running and he can make 5 in a row from the logo, Dame appears better under pressure. In the end, history won't be that kind to the comparison though because FiTP has 4 rings.

Agreed with that 100%

Clips besmirched the highly rated Nuts in the 4th. Conference banner looms.

Lmao at Lefraud and the Fakers trying to pull their yearly Shenanigans of keeping LeRoid happy with some bs trades.

Get him out of the fucking league already

Best player of the past 25 years.

I agree it's unbecoming / annoying with the constant trades and whining about 'deserving' more help.

But this era is so freakishly talented, that if Bron is going to win anything, he has to do this.. there are elite top flight talents popping up all over the league, so many stacked teams.. the number of star players is way bigger than in previous decades.

I would say the parity is higher but the stars of todays era are weaker than the stars of previous eras

I think super-star players are up for debate, but in terms of star level players, there are so many more now..

High pace in the Mavs/Celtics game, a ton of missed buckets, but a lot of running.

 

[MM808]

Embiid with 60 after 3 quarters lol. Not watching but is Wemby the main defender on him?

 

[Johnnny]

Embiid up to 65 with 4 minutes left. Karl Anthony Towns has 44 pts at the half.

Damn, Embust's points is insane.

 

[heavyarms21]

Amazing D from Wemby holding Embiid to 70.
