Honestly it's not so bad, the winged foot has a tenable association with basketball. It's not like the inevitable Starbucks logo that will be on, oh lets say, the Blazers jerseys.

Maybe if Starbucks changed their logo to a clown welcoming carpetbaggers considering the owner of Starbucks sold the Sonics to Clay Bennett

That's a nice set of 11 dynasty points there, it would be a shame if 3 rings were to happen with it

Fair. I think my troll game has a lot of potential, but right now it's raw and underdeveloped. Similar to Zaza's ability to cripple players at-will.

If Blake takes his option to be a FA this year then he needs to be named to an All-NBA team this season to qualify for the new Super Max i.e. he isn't going to get one.

It's embarrassing as hell. Now when Zogo proves that the NBA rigs draft lotteries you can't disagree with him because they've made it clear that they're just an entertainment product and not a real competition with entertaining elements.

Zaza made a dirty play but the Spurs have never shied away from being dirty. Everyone acting like the warriors are the worst thing that ever happened to basketball needs to get over their reflexive dislike of the thing that used to be cool and new and now is mainstream. Kawhi and Draymond are equally likable players, The entire country of Georgia is going to force the NBA to change the all star voting rules, the most brutal offense in the league is now being coached by someone who historically was stuck in the 1970s NBA offensively. Enjoy the show, Ian Clark is getting to play in the playoffs. For one half, the Spurs showed they were literally built to beat these Warriors, Lamargasoldridge were doing it, then David Lee sabotaged his own teammate and exposed the circuits and wires for Zaza's corny airspace crowding move. The Warriors let not giving a poo poo infect them so badly last year that they lost to a horrible team with one good player (James Jones) in the finals. Anything can happen.

I'd think it was cheating if someone deliberately injured Draymond Green too. I want the Warriors to be defeated in a fair basketball contest and look like fools, I don't want to see them get cheated.

Also I like Draymond Green I'd think Steph was faking it if he got hurt. If Kevin Durant's legs snapped like twigs in a tornado I'd shrug like I heard the tower in Pisa fell over. Dunno how he was structurally sound enough to do what he does in the first place

does some of the violence in the mangles temecula also symbolize the conflicting feelings you feel about table-shoving rondo vs playoff hero beating the celtics for a couple games rondo
