Knicks are now sponsored by "Squarespace"!

The season is off to a tremendous start!

Squarespace, eh? Does that mean the Knicks will have twice the spacing now that the Triangle is out?

The Nets one is black and white now:

Most of the teams have done a decent job blending them in. Worst ones are probably the Hawks and the Warriors

That one doesn't bother me. I forgot about the Bucks and Sacramento, though, those are also bad.

"Best" is probably Minnesota

Embiid is playing tomorrow night for the first time.

Totally coincidental with him signing his deal today no doubt

The "Stubhub" font is fine, the box just seems misshapen no matter what angle a picture is taken from. I'm sure they'll "iron it out"

Fultz will sit out the year to continue the tradition

Shut him down!

(really Bayless is probably a better back court partner for Simmons at this stage of their careers anyway)

It might also be a good idea to save Embiid for the last 10 games + the playoffs.

If he's not joking around it just exposes him as the type of person who asks twitter something instead of spending two seconds to look it up. This society is going downhill. Furthermore

Below 46 wins twice since 1989, once they tanked and picked up Tim Duncan, the other was the lockout year where they went 36-17 and won the championship

I feel like I have another good ten years of sub 40 win Lakers teams before I feel okay complaining (about losses, I will complain about everything else).

Yep, Go with the Creek Freak. He's a complete and utter beast.

Staples is decent, and Petrovic is also p good.

But the Creek Freak is so good it's comical.

A full list of teams that won with two of the best 15 scorers in league history
00,01,02 Lakers (Shaq/Kobe)
82/83 76ers (Moses Malone/Dr. J)
70-71 Bucks (Kareem/Oscar Robertson)

(including points from the ABA for that 76ers team.)

Those six are all top twenty scorers. At the time of their retirement Malone, Erving, Kareem and Oscar were top fifteen career scorers but none of those pairings played with someone who was at KGs level.

Warriors '17 (Curry/KD)

Add in draymond for your "PF who gets all five counting stats" guy too

I'm talking career numbers. Curry needs at least three more very elite scoring seasons to break into the top fifteen. Green isn't close to KGs body of work either:

code:

Player		PTS	TRB	AST	BLK	STL
Kevin Garnett	26071	14662	5445	2037	1859
Draymond Green	3566	2684	1627	415	540
