    Best starting lineup for the Spurs next game should be Dedmon, Murray, Simmons, Anderson and Bertans.

    I couldn't believe especially without Leonard that Aldridge only had 5 shots the whole first half.

    He's never going to be the elite player that so many people thought he was or could be, he's just a streaky guy that has elite skills that he'll never fully take advantage of. Every once in a while he'll be a lights out player, but he's not a superstar in the purest sense of the word.

    He's the power forward version of Tony Parker and Chris Paul.

    Well the Blazers haven't been the same since he left, so he obviously has some importance. Do you think there's any way S.A. wins both home games coming up?

    I think they'd be lucky to win one of them at this point, but there's always a chance that GSW goes cold for a game.

    I'd be shocked if Lonzo Ball ends up an elite pro. For all the hype he has as being some elite distributing PG, he seemed to struggle beating defenders off the dribble in college so how is he going to do it in the pros and pass it off to shooters in typical scoring positions. And he definitely struggles getting his own shot. Most of his highlights are threes with defenders playing off him which he won't get in the pros.

    Lamelo will end up being the best player out of the 3 Ball kids, even if he never learns to play defense.

    The set up for ultimate failure has set up nicely for Lonzo.

    It's not even fun to rib each other on here because in the end all of our teams get beat down by a super team.

    I just mean how realistically only a few teams have a realistic chance, and how frustrating that is.

    Damn bro he's only 19. He's going to get better lol. He has a very promising skill set and his ability to make other better will carry his career even if he's not an "elite pro" he could be an Andre Miller.

    Glad to see no Steph Curry on the all nba 1st team. had a weird feeling they'd force him in there.
