    The Sixers are scary man. Better get used to seeing them or Boston representing the East in the finals for the next 6-8 years. Both teams are set and still have high lottery picks in the pipe line. In Phillys case it's looking like the Laker pick this year that will likely be in the 6-10 range. Plus they have their own pick that will be top 20.

    The Warriors better get busy while they can because in a year or two they're going to finally have some legit competition in the finals.

    Just because it's so rare these days I've always appreciated Demar Derozans mid range game

    If he could ever be a consistent 3 point threat that would take him to another level but every summer you hear about him working on his 3 point shot and its always trash when the season starts

    2co3o9i.jpg

    appreciated

    stop it

    raptors fans dont even like watching demar derozan play basketball

    i hate how unfluid his whole game is

    it just looks sluggish

    or

    instead of sluggish

    i should say

    like his 2K fatigue is all the way down but hes still holding sprint down anyway

    I'm dying but I'll say this

    he has some of the best footwork in the league, I do enjoy that part of his game

    They could be there final form today like a dragonball z character and still wont give the warriors a real

    I dont think ? understand how absurd the warriors are i really believe you wont find a combo of 4 stars and role players that would beat the warriors

    I did like what I saw from Ingram last night. He looks better every time I watch him. It might just be by chance cause I dont watch the Lakers often. But from how better he has gotten compared to last year, I wouldnt trade him. Id keep letting him develop and hope he continues to get better at this rate.

    I said 4 stars not 5 you have a bunch of bigs than can shoot but operate best in the paint and arent knock down 3 point shooters wheres the room for kawhi and lebron to drive? You would have to dumb down cousins and gasol to kevin love status without the skill from the 3pt line

    You got 4 ball dominate players on one team

    Which one of your bigs are coming out on the perimiter when the warriors force yall to switch because of all the screens i mean kd still dropping 30 on bron can kawhi chase klay for 35 minutes? Probaly

    Can mike conley gaurd steph?

    What if bron has to gaurd klay he def going to have a issue running around all day? Even tho u cheated and used 4 stars that team still isnt flat out better than the warriors

    The only negative id say about Embiid is he has to stop trying to dribble. When he catches the ball outside the post, if hes open he should shoot it, and if not pass it, cause hes a great passer too.

    Thats honestly the only negative I can find in his game, and thats not even a huge negative.

    I like ben simmons game but duke gotta expand his range.He hasn't made one shot outside the free throw line this season

    The warriors were backing up like 10 feet off dude.He has to expand his range or he's a 6'10 rondo

    I'm late on this post but i agree. Also GS did a great job of guarding space in the lane instead of Ben. They did a good job of fronting JoJo and shut down that give and go ? Ben and JoJo like to do. It also helps that GS have length that can move their feet like Green & Durant. He will see alot more teams covering lane space but not too many teams defend like GS. I can see Boston using this type of D next time we play them. Simmons really needs to get that jumper going asap. JoJo will benefit big time if Ben can hit a few from now and then.
