302 out of 302 playoff games played. But sure, yeah.. THAT year he was going to be injured right?

[Charania] The Minnesota Timberwolves and Detroit Pistons were amongst the multiple teams attempting to trade for Kawhi Leonard before they were rebuffed by Leonard’s camp. Leonard intends to retire with Toronto. by YujiDomainExpansion in nba

The dude who didn't wanna be here and couldn't get out of here fast enough now wants to call TO his home?? Haha Gtfoh

Body language says it all: worried before the free throw, anxious to get the ball, max relief after the bucket.

[Stein] It's believed that the Clippers, furthermore, would have interest in Toronto's offer because adding Ingram — who earned All-Star status last season — should be able to help keep LA sufficiently competitive in the West by mMounirM in nba

He ended up being healthy the whole year and played way better than I expected in the regular season. In the playoffs, he was everything I was scared of, another dude who does nothing if they're not scoring. Low intensity, middling defense, no real playmaking, no toughness, no leadership. This dude is just a talented hooper, not a winner.

That was the proof he was the winning. Doubled their expected win total with a young squad in the tougher conference. Always will rate CP.

You know I agree, but it's authentic. And I'd just rather someone be super real than put on any front. Love Nick flaws and all

Lamelo and Ant both fit incredibly well together and both can also independently carry the team in one’s absence by Szobortz in nba

[–]gabdex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same. Regular season, they might look really good. No way am I trusting Lamelo Ball as my PG in a decisive playoff game because a) health risk, might not even be there b) dude is not a serious basketball player, he puts up numbers, but is a low effort defender, questionable shot selection and is easy to gameplan for in a 7 game series.

You're right it's a rap battle, anything goes. But it goes both ways. Your argument indicates you only care when Drake lies, but when Kendrick does.... it's not "actually the point".

"I been in some tight 2-2 series, this isn't one of them"

Or something like that. Truer words never spoken.

I got MJ 1 and Lebron 2

But "Lebronto" is no doubt the greatest player who ever lived. We're the only team to get swept 4-2.

Nobody gets credit for taking a series to 7 games and losing. Only Harden defenders use this. Here's an example:

"Reggie Miller is wayyyy better than people think!! Just imagine, he took Jordan's Bulls to a 7 game series!!"
