you'd think with the number of times that joke's been retold he'd at least be able to, y'know, roll his eyes and be like "heard it before" or I don't know, lift up his hand and show his ring? There's a ton of easy responses other than looking broken and sad.

Unless he buys what's being Said Online and feels actual remorse for being a cupsnake lol

Watching the Lakers Sixers and Lonzo had an air ball. It's a good thing we are far enough removed from Jordan or he might get nicknamed Air Ball.

Finally managed to catch up on all 321 pages and as an Aussie that doesnt get much of a chance to follow all the NBA, i have learnt a lot.

Twolves are the team to watch next season.

Bulls also but for completely different reasons.

KD is a weird dude.

Bismack Biyombo is waaay overpaid.

Also as a Spurs fan and with limited NBA games screened here, i dont know much about Rudy Gay other than his stat line, will he be a good fit and is he going to just back up Kawhi or can he play another spot?

Jesus how are we already at 321 pages in just the offseason

like he's thinking about all those people who said hey it'll all quiet down once you get a ring, maybe they were wrong

He needs more time and actually doesn't have the ring yet. At this point after LBJ was eliminated by DAL people were still laughing at him and the Heat and musing how LBJ would be the GOAT to never win a ring (even surpassing Karl Malone). Once KD gets the ring and wraps it around his finger he will feel better.


Inspirational play.

Sooo..... Let's talk about Jordan Bell last night. Bell (or as we techbros like to call him, Draymond 2.0) got a 5X5 - 5 points, 11 rebs, 6 blocks, 5 steals, 5 assists. He was +29 in a game that his team lost.

Never change GarPax. Jake Burger is going to work out great for you.
