    Right. So they paid for it. It's a one year deal, I believe. And the guy just won the team a championship. Sometimes players get paid for what they already did and I think Lowry earned it.

    Toronto is making an unusually large amount of mistakes defensively (Particularly FVV), but Miami again proving their legitimacy as a top Eastern team.

    Favorite team to watch so far this year.

    And a random note, former Blazers John Crotty is one of the best color guys in the NBA.

    Nope.

    Blazers haven't been fun until the last few games.

    No Zach or Nurk doesn't help. Favorite players outside of Dame.

    It's not an opinion. Just a short time ago the Raptors paid Lowry an extra $30 million. They are rewarding the guys that got them a title. VanVleet and Lowry play together a lot and they value both of them.

    If it was my opinion I'd agree it was foolish to give Lowry that kind of money.

    Not tonight it isn't. Lowry 2-18, 0-11 from 3, -14 +/-. First game back, sure, but absolutes don't age well.

    I'm sorry but when a player shoots 24 fucking free throws, their 50 pointer is bullshit.

    Or a player only shoots 26% from the floor, yet STILL has the game to get 50?

    While I understand the reference (how king used to say "learn the game, then post), the ability to read a graph isn't necessarily something that comes easy to everyone. Hell, I don't necessarily understand how to read the graphs.

    But in the grand scheme of things, the ability to read those graphs don't mean shit.

    I have replaced the timing belt on a car, along with the radiator, water pump, carburetor, overdrive, power steering pump, power steering rack, suspension, fuel tank, fuel tank sender, have re-done the entire interior of a car, replaced a harmonic balancer and many other car related repairs. I find it very easy to do that kind of stuff. But I don't think it makes me better or smarter than others (I just am...haha, that's for you tlong!).

    My point? Just because you understand something doesn't mean others will or that you're better because of it. So instead of being snarky about it, maybe just don't.

    Oh and I thought you guys had agreed to not interact with each other?

    Would you prefer if we said, "that would be a funny post if directed to anyone else except someone with whom you've previously had repeated negative interactions"?

    As the adage goes--"know your audience".
