Let’s goooo!!!!
car-stranger things here
Holy Handsome🤭
Just waiting for the day I can get some lakers glaze man idk what they gotta do
no friday show? well i guess ill just sit in a dark quiet room until sunday night
Carson styling with that new haircut. Also I like Logan's drink!
Lakers still not a top 10 team? 🤣🤣
Tre Johnson has been failed by the wizards so far this year along with a hip injury, he hasn't been given the proper light to shine and its upseting.
Can you imagine if Knueppel and Flagg would have stayed at Duke another year. Would have been the best team in college in a long time.
You’d get fired for taking Maxey over Cade
Scottie Barnes has been amazing on defense this year
As a Ravens fan, having us over KC is nuts 😂 the defense looks better but Lamar has to get healthy and the offense needs to get back on track in a big way
I agree Cade's a sketchy scorer but I think his passing has elevated to a really crazy point that puts him near brunson and mitchell. Like, hes elevated some really crazy lineups to wins.
Hes one of the best floor raisers in the league, teams are throwing crazy doubles at him even though hes not a great scorer.
SESH!
i’d consider giving my life up for either one of these two. with that being said i hope everyone has a great thanksgiving
Maxey being in Booker Brunson Mitchell conversations is literally EVERYTHING I have ever dreamed of, this quite literally brought a tear to my eye.
as a raptor fan this team is genuinely the best thing to happen since the championship, such a nice feeling after all those weird teams. also shout out scottie he looks like freakin shawn marion some nights its crazy
i love maxey but yall went too far here saying the pistons would be straight up better with him, dude is NOWHERE near the playmaker and defender that cade is. guys like duren and ausar would be significantly more limited playing with him. hold your horses guys
Kon is killing it.

Flagg is ROY
Maxey over CADE ????? Dude what a horrible take. Cades 6'7 with a handle a shot and vision, his defense is better too.
You are overrating Poeltl…he is still the worst shooter in the NBA and the worst rebounding center. His defensive positioning is good but you can just get past him too easily. He also can't guard the rim. You got pretty much everything else right though.
Battles defense has improved a lot this season.
27:29 did bro just pull a Pablo Neruda quote out the duffy 🤣
I don't think Lamelo has any problem with the Hornets, they have been very patient with him and they have struggled to build a team around him since 2022. But the rumors about Lamelo weren't true he came out and said as much in an interview,.
Maxey is literally on the Purina dog show. All dog
I’m a die hard suns fan and I’m out on Booker. He’s an empty stats guy. He’ll put up 30 on the wizards and kings but he’ll score 16 points on 40% shooting on the rockets and thunder. Booker ALWAYS struggles against the better defenses and I feel like I’m the only one who sees it. Booker it shooting 32% from 3 and averaging 4 tos. Booker ain’t him. Bookers biggest issue is athleticism and shooting. He’s not fast enough to get the rim and he’s not a good enough shooter to be elite at making threes.
Ravens at 3 was geniunely diabolical
It should have never been unexpected. All starters did not play due to injury last year. It was grow the bench year and it worked guys. Facts. Raptors with BI, SB, IQ, RJB are all capable 20pt offensive guys, JP 10. That's a pretty good offensive team. Defense speaks for itself. When engaged they can shut a team down for minuets at a time, SB is a beast on D. They are not going away. They just might be a whole lot better by the end of the year.
