He is their X-factor this year because he can get his shot off on anyone, something Steph and Klay can't always do.

I will say not having George Hill hurts even though Mack has played well all things considered. It might just make the game closer but yeah.

The Raptors should let Lowry walk, not only because he's a choker but because they are just fine with Cory Joseph what a great player.

That being said Lebron really did make the Raptors look like kids this series he has reached another level. I'm glad he is proving to be a tank like Karl Malone so we can witness this. Hopefully it runs out by the time we make our championship push though!

I hope the PJ Tucker bandwagon is now empty. Too fat, too old, not good enough.

I actually thought he played a good game today. I view him as a starting 3 that does a lot a lot of dirty work, but who then likely sits late in halves as Wiggins and LaVine would both be on the court. Same thing with Thabo if we were to pick him up. They aren't my top FA options, but either one would help.

Tucker is only going to get older Q. You wanted to throw big money at Deng last year, this would be the same mistake.

I wouldn't throw Deng money at Tucker. Like I said, he's not my top option. Also, we don't know how Deng would have looked with a T-Wolves jersey on and if he had stayed healthy.

That didn't look good for Harden... And they are already without Nene who was sent to the hospital with a groin injury (I didn't see that one).

[ Edit: Nevermind. Harden looks just fine! ]

It's how much you like a guy for the $ or $$ or $$$ you have to spend to get them here. I think one of the factors in likening Dieng last offseason was getting him for a decent chunk but not crazy contract. The Lakers went bonkers and gave him tns of money for 4 years. I like Tucker he would likely help this team but how much would I pay? Idk. It just feels like a guy like sefelosha will come cheaper but...I thought Dudley was gonna be realively inexpensive. I guess he made up for all the years he didn't get more money. I think Tucker is a guy that if you play around 25 mpg he will be plenty effective but I have seen him at times look...um like he doesn't quite have what he used to. Matt Barnes might come cheaper but there is a reason he would and it might be good to steer clear of him. There are some solid defensive wings that will be available this offseason. Hopefully the Wolves get one.

Nene has been really effective for them.

Well whatever the Spurs did to slow down the Rockets in other games didn't look like it worked tonight. I haven't watched any games today but it seems the Rockets hit their 3's.

The Raps had been building so well and now...man they have some decisions to make. I've been on the Cory Joseph bandwagon since his first year in Toronto. You are right he is a good player.

D Carroll's contract isn't that bad since the cap went up but he hasn't really been the awesome signing that I know I thought he would be. I am gonna admit here I was wrong on that one. He could be a cautionary tale of some of these not star players we are talking about and he SEEMED headed up. Sigh. Thibs and Layden have their work cut out for themselves.
