Just terrible officiating all game and they screw toronto over with a call that never should be called. The female official specificly was just atrocious.

Kyle Lowry(30 mil a year)- 5 points 1-7FG 1-6 3PT

Leonard should join Denver next year to create the new Warriors. Yet another quality road win...

I feel bad for him. Pretty shot too. It doesn't matter for Atlanta they be losing anyways but at least their fans got to see Prince get better...

Lou is ridiculously clutch once again. It's nice to have a real closer in a Clippers uniform for once.

In other news, I'm already sick of Avery Bradley. Dude is a scrub who tried his best to chuck the game away. Sadly, Doc will always give him way more minutes than he deserves because he's a former Celtic.

But GNSF insisted that he was the real MVP and carrying Kawhi!

Tough loss but an entertaining game. Momentum changed late when Randle fouled out on a dumb reach. Also wished AD got more touches late.

It's like if you're not already a total bitch you will become one after joining the Golden Phaggots.

I would say accidental but Livingstons body language was like 100% intentional. Even his walk to the bench looked like guilt.

Sadly, Doc
I see where genius chained Boban to the bench again vs the Mavs last game.

DJordan going off for like 20/25 while Gorat barely phased him and put up 4/4 himself.
Ya Boban is a *matchup problem*

Missed free throws cost the Pels the game. The front office is about to make a horrible trade where they give up way too much for an overrated player and nothing is going to change. Gentry needs to go before it’s too late.

But AD doesnt have any help :cry.

Id argue out of the top 8 players

He has the second best help. At least the starting lineup. Mirotic, Randle, Holiday have all had numerous monster games.

Hes got better help than Giannis. Better 2nd, 3rd option than Kawhi, and dont even get me started with bron

Maybe the Kevin love comparisons are real.

He’s underachieved so far this season, no doubt about it. Thankfully it’s a long season and the West is an absolute joke other than the Warriors. Comparing him to Love is retarded though. Love in his prime couldn’t hold AD’s jock strap.

Just being hard on the guy since he claims hes the best player in the world. Ive never considered AD a franchise changing player. And hes been in new orleans for years. Sure they probably have one of the 5 worst front office but this year specificlly, hes got all the help.

Kawhi with those ugly TO tho tbh, 2 in the 4th Q and unforced... He's just doesn't want to pass the ball.

anyone find the raptors roster is overrated as hell?

a bunch of perimeter players who are flukey with the 3pt shot, rely too much on athleticism to get inside to score easy baskets...

ouyanby whatever his name is, overrated as hell
van midget, another chucker...
cjmiles sure does chuck alot for a guy coming off the bench
siakam cant shoot for shit...most of his baskets are cutting to the key for easy layup drills...
theire 2 bigs ibaka and euro wanker, rather get their numbers first instead of passing it out for a better shot

Raptors are pretenders. They have 3 big problems

1. Their rebounding sucks
2. Terrible 3 pt shooting
3. Kyle Lowry never shows up in big games/playoffs. They don’t have a legit 2nd option

Yeah.

They're gonna win 60+ though. Its funny because the narrative is that kawhi is getting so much help :cry..

The only help kawhi is getting is from siakam.

Cant believe SF is leading rebounder for raps. Ibaka is comical with rebounding.

Happy for Jules.
I know slightly inflated due to pace but his energy has been missing from Lakers this year.
No way yal can keep him at that deal you have him for thsi year he will opt out and cash in.

They were a 59 win team with DeRozan instead. So yes - Kawhi has help.

Kawhi is simply a better player, period ... so of course, he has helped.
Record ultimately shouldn't matter ..eye test, advanced metrics whatever way you slice it KL is better.

But I will say this DD is a much better playmaker than I thought and SOME aspect s of playmaking I think DD is better at than KL ...

He has help but Jrue is struggling playing the point. He doesn’t run the offense well and commits a lot of turnovers. This team missed Elfrid Payton running the offense. Plus the team defense is bad. AD has been hurt too a bit this year.

Pelicans' offense is fine, it's their defense that is the issue..they shouldn't be so bad with Holiday and Davis there, but I guess nobody else tries on D + a poor system..

My point had nothing to do with DeRozan being anywhere near the player as Kawhi...

Even this not-quite-fully-normal Kawhi is miles better. I'm saying Kawhi has done nothing with the team (which actually got a stronger supporting cast with Danny Green) to really desperate himself as a MVP candidate, versus someone like Giannis. Being a better player than DD isn't enough.

I agree and taking those rest days doesn't help his case either. BUT mvp is a media narrative award.
Playofs are all that matters
