    Color me impressed! Maybe Lillard will get that extra whistle per game that we all want him to get. Once his drive is more legit, his long game will come back.

    Congrats to both!

    Barkley is hammering on Lance Stephenson not making the team, but it's funny, he and Batum have VERY similar stats and nobody is talking about Nic.

    The soft porn musical score could have used some work. Is Dirk Diggler running the sound department?

    I was almost going to post Nic's stats as compared to Stephenson's. Kawhi Leonard's are very similar to Batum's too.

    Shoutout to the good guys! Congrats to #12 and #0 both! I'm stoked we got two guys in! (LaMarcus still should have started)

    Barkley doesn't base it just on stats

    Lance is certainly more talented than both. I like Leonard because of his defense. He has a good reputation going for him after the playoffs last year (especially the finals).

    Stephenson has Roy Hibbert behind him.

    Funny how that works though, right? He's going on and on about how Lance and Kawhi should have made the team. He's saying that he rewards winning, but Nic isn't anywhere to be found. Not necessarily saying Nic SHOULD make it, but if you're going to start throwing names out like Stephenson and Leonard, I think Nic should be in the same discussion.

    :lol: Kobe isn't on the all-star team this year, so there's a chance he may get it back.

    Barkley says Portland isn't a surprise team but none of the TNT guys, including him, picked us to make the playoffs at the beginning of the season.

    Please, I've watched Lance and he's not more talented than Nic. I think Batum is a much better passer. They excel at different areas of the game. They're both good players, but I'm not convinced that Stephenson is "certainly more talented." Not by a mile.
