Scary Terry scores 36points and downs the Warriors at the buzzer

He is actually a fringe all star player right now. I don't this is including his stats tonight, so this may go up even a bit, but he is averaging 20 points and 4 assists and somehow shooting 44% from 3 on 7 attempts. I never thought he would shoot this good.

He’s thriving off the ball, which is a surprise to me. Hayward and Ball have made his life easy.

Terry always had the talent and scoring ability just needed to bring it every night He was a huge part of the first ECF finals run of Brad Stevens Celtics

Heat get their revenge in the NBA Finals rematch against Lakers lol

[Birdman]

Lakers are average without Davis

[NKY fan]

The comments made by Kerr about Draymond last night make me think his time as warrior might be coming to an end.
I’m undecided on whether I want him here or not. If he shoot like smart (currently he is worse) he might be useful with his play making and defense. Really tough to evaluate on this one.

Lakers are average without Davis

For all the LeBron MVP talk that exists, Davis is more important to that Lakers team than LeBron. Its go to make it hard for voters to gift their vote to LeBron when they see the team go .500 in Davis' absence.

Would the Lakers be better with AD but without LeBron?

I don't think so. I reckon they would be worse.

I also believe James is more important than Davis.

Davis is most important for their defence, LeBron for their offence. I think Davis (when healthy) is much closer to LeBron's level on offence than LBJ is to Davis on defence.

But I would still have a hard time saying either way. The Lakers were a lotto team in Bron's first year...

I'd just like to point out that the Lakers in Lebron's first year were a bad team that finished 37-45

Lebron is the most important member on the Lakers, but AD is no scrub either especially on the defensive end. Without him, LAL looks average and beatable even with LBJ.

I think it's more of a testament to what having two top 5 players can do for you. Because it's not like the Lakers are a masterclass in roster construction - last year, it was like the island of misfit toys with guys that the league has written off like Rondo and D.Howard making significant contributions to a championship run. This year, the roster is bit better but it's still not anything to write home about beyond AD and Lebron.

Hate to say it, but the Nets are going to the finals. I was hoping they would have chemistry issues, but Nash and D’Antoni seem to be doing a really good job managing the Nets roster. Their bench is thin right now, but they will probably pick up a player once the buyouts start. At that point, the Nets will be as talented as GS was a few years back.

With the way they play defence I don't think so
