rip warriors

wow what is happening

yeah dubs r gonna give a lot of minutes to sketchy dudes xp

just play the starting 5 48 minutes why is kerr messing round

pau gasol - lamarcus aldridge works like a charm

j simmons obv hit the juice in the offseason

motherfucker his LIFE is the juice

uhh kyle anderson is wearing those shorts w the team name on the ass but none of the other spurs are whats going on

juice paid 100 bucks to try out for the d league spurs, he's got 4 daughters under the age of 6. he got a non-guaranteed deal. he was playing semi pro ball and living off favors.

he deserves most improved life award this year

that is a legit inspiring story! I didn't know that about him.

whats up w weird 2nd round rookies getting minutes over livingston

LATVIAN RED ROCKET SIGHTING

davis bertans!!!!!!!

a throw-in from the kawhi leonard trade, i shit you not

well, that game was delicious and perfect, i am full

STATS 16-17

stats go here fools

Kentavious Caldwell-Pope is demanding more than $20 million per season in his contract extension talks with the Detroit Pistons.

oh hai

while i love kcp, we’re good. win a playoff game bro

well that was just wonderful. i dont think it tells us too much about the dubs tbh but it's in play that they're more 2011 heat than 2012 heat this first go-round. guarantee jonathan simmons's deal!

also, league pass is free-99 till nov. 1 for those of us w/o 200 to drop

J simms is guaranteed now but not when he joined the team last year

ah, word. i see he's getting just under 900k for this season. considering where he was last year that ain't bad at all

lol

celtics playing nets in the opener, scheduling sense of humor

do the nets actually play bball though i thought they were more of a real estate holding company or something similar

they're all designers iirc

headphone marketing concern iirc

the nets are not completely terrible now unfortunately, they should trade brook lopez asap

i feel like third time's the charm for Nyc and maybe the timberwolves could relocate to staten island

the nets are completely terrible p sure (i watched a preseason game so im kinda an expert on this topic)

theyll be better than last season bc i'm sure lin will win some games on his own through chucktasticness, but not by any significant amount. i for one am not worried about the draft pick

(by "some" i mean like "three, four tops," to be clear)

it has the potential to be as bad as the 6th or 7th pick instead of the 3rd is what im saying

im having a hard time seeing why theyll be better than last year

potentially, but isn't this upcoming draft supposed to be loaded af?

(xp)

they will be worse. they lost Thad

who are these five or six teams thatre worse than them

the warriors, for starters

https://twitter.com/royceyoung/status/791320106534072321

yeah i mean they were an extremely bad team who lost two starters in johnson and young and replaced them with... lin? how does that make them better

they got a couple other rotation dudes who can kinda play a bit iirc but yeah youre right theyre still prob the 3rd worst team

royce young is still legitimately in tears every day because kd left

the only nice piece they have with upside is who... RHJ?

can't believe they havent secured a first round pick for bropez yet. let that man free

obvs a lot comes down to injuries, randomness, trades etc but cld easily see them being the worst team with philly and lakers showing a lil life

lakers and philly at least have pieces of a future tho, and should be entertaining on occasion

if they trade lopez they're the worst team probs unless embiid evaporates into steam tonight when he attempts to walk onto the court for an actual nba game

joel embiid is already the all time greatest player

seems like no one wants lopez, hes a good player but just too slow to fit with what most teams are trying to do
