    Luka = Current day BRoy/Joe Johnson, but with elite vision. The game has just changed and the faster pace and increased focus on threes is getting him more stats than those guys.

    I remember getting crap from someone here when i compared Luka to Joe Johnson pre-draft. Still think that's a great comparison. The size, the way he gets to whatever spot he wants, the step back, it's the same stuff.

    Porzingis hits a deep 3 against the LAC and the announcers say “That’s from Dame range!” Nice

    makes me very happy to see that the clippers gave up their next 89 first round picks and SGA for paul george and his playoff shooting.

    Man Seth Curry is a great player. Could you imagine him and Trent Jr off the bench for us? That wouldn’t even be fair

    Man, the Mavs could be up 2-0 if KP was not ejected. I love this no home court advantage playoffs

    But way better. Johnson couldn’t carry Atlanta to any significant success. He can, will, and is.

    Schroeder singlehandedly eliminated the lead OKC built in the 3rd. If he wins 6MOY, it will be a complete joke.

    i have no idea who is even in this draft. Didn't even realize the lotto was today, crazy.

    All i'm hoping for is GS doesn't get top 3

    Magic had 31 FT attempts to 16 for the Bucks...and still got rag-dolled.

    It's sad when you can't stay in the game even with the refs putting their sweaty, greasy thumbs on the scale! :blink:
