Raptors wanted us in the second round...too bad we squeezed the top seed.
For some reason Derozan's kryptonite is lebron and the Cavs.
But when he plays the Cs he can put up 40 points easily.

Because he torches Crowder

Brown should have guarded Derozan

Lebron is killing Toronto

He went to the line..20 times tonight

nobody can stay in front of him.... nobody can block him near the rim

If the celts can get by the Wizards...  need a serious game plan to slow down this guy


My idea

Have Jaylen Brown guard him.... yes he is only a rookie and gives up 20-25 pounds...but he is the one guy in the team that can hang with him in the "explosiveness" category.  Has the wingspan and is a pretty strong kid

Also i would cheat and make lebron shoot the ball , all day and night..... don't allow him to drive past you...  with him having a million options to pass to.   Let him shoot...and if he nails 10 3s... its better to lose that way vs have him "play" with you

Just please don't put Crowder on him... the experiment has failed too many times

The problem is they play the 1-3 pick n roll wihich plays to their hands...all they would do is pick who IT is guarding and forces the switch...by then there is nothing we can do and Lebron will have his way...double him and he finds the open man
I have no idea how Stevens is gonna game plan lebron but lets get rid of the pesky Wizards first then worrry bout lebron after.

James Harden is playing some classic James Harden defense out there tonight.

Uh-oh. Really looks like Parker knows he messed up his knee badly. Terrible to see.

He didn't even land on the knee, it must've happened on the jump.

Is parkers career over? It must have been an ACL. He had to be carried off

Boy, that Chris Paul to San Antonio storyline just got quite a bit more interesting, huh?

Man, I'd really love to see that. I'd actually like to be able to root for Paul once in his career. I can't do it with how he acts out on the court PLUS the fact that he's an LA guy now.

Just gift wrap the Western Conference to the Warriors already lol.

It's gonna be a sweep against Utah. And with Parker out (for probably the rest of the season with the look on that injury), no chance to stop Steph Curry or James Harden.

Unless Houston ends up upsetting the Spurs, which I hope they do now if they want anyone to stop or slow GSW before hitting the finals.

Not sure where that story line is coming from unless Paul is willing to leave a lot of cash on the table.  Spurs would have a very difficult time of coming closer than about $3 million of his max, and that's assuming Pau opts out and Green is traded.  Not to mention he won't make up the lost salary from turning down a 5th year.

Im not sure Parker is gonna make much difference. Same thing happened back in 2014 when he also went down in the Finals. Patty Mills is a better player at this point as he is a better defender than Parker. I think Dejountay Murray will finally get unleashed as Mills needs someone to back him up.

LOL @ the Raptors. Choking dogs.

Keep in mind that just 2 years ago they were swept by the Wizards, culminating in a 29-point beatdown at home.

For a team with 2 stars, they are pretty hopeless.

Paul Pierce was the Raptors' kryptonite. They made it far last year because PP34 went to the west.  ;)

James Harden scored zero points and turned the ball over twice when Kawhi Leonard was Harden's primary defender Wednesday night.

I actually see Jeremy Lin low key being traded to the Spurs for peanuts
Jaylen Brown for All-NBA
