For many a New England year you only pretended to enjoy the local squads, all the while a thirst for the dry southwest heat lurked inside you like one of the many Stephen King monstrosities which haunt the region. You have an elaborate mythos and it leaves the new posters baffled

Apparently the team store in Orlando will sell some jerseys with Disney ads on them but that's maybe only because hard-core Disney fans are psychos who will buy anything

I like the Cavs Goodyear logo because it is shoes with wings and looks like the icon from NBA Live in the early 00's that signified the player was a High Flyer (the only players to play with imho).

What the hell are the Knicks even hoping for.

For every other team in the league to forget how to shoot from long range, pass, or run modern defense.

There basketball strategy seems to be to wish that everything that has changed in basketball for the past 20 years is revealed to just be a fad.

Strangely enough, basketball is copying politics, where New York City, supposedly the world's most cosmopolitan and modern city, is the source of the world's greatest regressiveness and parochialism.

Yah the Ainge one I think was a quarter-ender. I have some memory of an Ainge 3/4 court baseball throw that went in but I might be imagining it since I don't see the clip anywhere and I found that instead. The Jackson/Abdul-Rauf shot was a game-winner and Phil was right that guy's shooting was the proto-Steph

Devin Booker and the fourth pick for Porzingis sounds like it'll work out for everyone, so it won't happen

that said, Booker, the #4 pick and the #8 pick could be really good in like four years

I'd give up just about any player and pick for KP. If Booker were included it kind of puts the Suns right back where they were though, trying to build around one player unless one of Chriss/Bender/Warren really turns it up or something
