Quit being soft. I'm glad Kevin Durant bitched out of OKC. gently caress Clay Bennett he deserves it for not being loyal to Seattle.

I did not realize this until today, but the only All-Star - there's only ONE! - from the 2013 draft is Giannis. What a year.

It wasn't a good draft but it's also still pretty early. Gobert will make it next year, McCollum will get in at some point. Porter might sneak in down the line.

Surprised no, but based on the last 100 pages anger seems quite common.

Dad dicking is about how when you're a kid, you're in the locker room after swimming with your dad and you catch a glimpse of his cock and it's the biggest loving thing you've seen in your entire life compared to your little baby dick. And you're humbled and in awe by the experience.

It's a good metaphor imo.

That's true, it's only been a few years, but man. What a terrible class.

I don't actually think McCollum has that great a shot at it unless the Blazers improve significantly. There's just too many good backcourt players in the West.

Speaking of your avatar, moving to Seattle in 2006 and following the Hawks; the Warriors are following the same "global" hatred the Hawks went through since 2012. I have season tickets but I sell them just to break even and see two games.

Sure. Any team you pay enough attention to and that wins enough will generate some more or less legitimate reasons to hate them (as legit as "hating" a sports person you've never met can get at least) and the single worst things about the Warriors and Warriors hate are that they aren't the Magic and it isn't Magic hate.

Yeah, which I find funny working/living in Seattle where people talk poo poo about the Warriors. They are in the same position with the Seahawks.

I don't. Today was the first time I checked in a year to see if it had gotten any better. It hasn't. I check in on some team specific forums occasionally for the same reason. I am always disappointed.

It's kind of funny. A lot of my co-workers, who previously hated Kaep, now want to sign him as the back up. I've been on the Kaep bandwagon though so I might be bias at laughing at them.
