Klay Thompson's contract was not luck at all. And it was a brilliant move.

True, but he didn't mention him.

I'm a blazers fan and although I love Lillard I'm worried we are going to be 7/8th seed material. We don't have anyone who can play defence...

At least we got heart, ain't no bitchmade fools on the roster.

an mvp in his prime joining a historically good team has almost certainly never happened in any major american sport? i can't think of anything in basketball or football but maybe im wrong. i dont know what the nba could do to prevent it but it seems less routine than you are making it out to be



i mean the reason its never happened before is probably just cause no one that good at something is usually that loving bitchmade that their only hope at winning is gutting their oppositions main rivals and joining them

THE MOST EXCITING MASCOT IN THE LAST 4000 YEARS OF COLLEGE SPORTS


A coworker yesterday tried to convince me that the Wizards will be the 4 or 5 seed in the East this year and thanks to the knowledge I have obtained from this thread I knew simply to laugh in his face.

Pretty much all my basketball opinions come from this thread so I hardly ever have much to add. Although I did get LP this year so maybe I'll have more to say this time around.

Also I'm a Laker fan and that seems to be pretty well covered in here already, although through this thread I've come to appreciate all teams that aren't from the bay area.

Orlando will regret trading away Baby Sabonis.

I walked by Serge Ibaka and Nicola Vucevic at the Orlando City Soccer match on Sunday. They were both very tall, which bodes well for the Magic this season.

Best case: Vogel finds lineups that work and they break even and lose a competitive playoff series
Worst case: The roster is just too weird and they stay in the 35-win doldrums

He missed about a third of the 2014-15 season with the same sort of injury (metatarsal fracture) in the same foot. Not sure if it's the same metatarsal but it's not great either way

What's interesting is that it's not the weird offhand thing that's making the shot bad it's how he overrotates and drifts the lower half of his body

Hey now, I'm sure they do. I was once in Dallas and ate at an upscale cowboy restaurant. They had a special hanger for 10-gallon hats, iirc. I had the buffalo fillet mignon. It was good.
