Hello, my name is Jack's Flow, and you can find me at the back of the coffeeshop on level 3 of the Golden State Hate Zone. I like the Warriors, Devin Booker, and Ben Gordon, who is a misunderstood butterfly.

I don't think this is gonna be a short thing and I think you're gonna get really stupid Warriors fans rumbling and grumbling as they probably go like 13-7 in their first 20.

I made $100 off one of my regulars at work tonight taking the Spurs at +15 (the line was +8.5 but Warriors homers are the best) and by halftime after they tried to make their run and the Spurs blew it back to like 20, I was pretty happy lol.

Yeah, I hope people did not expect them to start 20-0 or whatever.

Of course they did.


Time to watch Jazz-Blazers.

If Steph wasn't around, Lillard would be my favorite point guard in the league. He's amazing.

So many guys posting video game type numbers, it's delicious.

I am still out on DeRozan though. My 16 year old self would have embraced that guy, because tough jumpers with a man in your face? All day! Now I can only see JV not getting the ball for another season, while the Raptors will live and ultimately die on DeRozan going 1-on-1 in the 4th quarter of an important playoff game. I know he's good, but he's definitely not for me.

On Saturday, the Knicks celebrated the franchise’s 70th anniversary by honoring several former players and family members at halftime of their home opener at Madison Square Garden. Oakley was not among them. He cannot understand why he has been exiled. To him, it is beyond comprehension.

“One day,” he said, “they gonna need me for something.”

In the meantime, Oakley is staying busy. In recent years, he has channeled his competitive drive toward cooking, a longtime passion. He will cater your private event — yes, Charles Oakley and a staff of one (“somebody to serve drinks”) will show up at your house to cook for you and your friends. For 25 to 30 people, he charges around $20,000. “I’m available,” Oakley said. “I’m not cheap, but I’m available.”

One more loss and it's the worse franchise start ever :negative: To newer NBA fans that might not seem so bad but if you're familiar with the 90s Mavs you understand how awful it really is.

For what it's worth, I have fond memories of the Mashburn/Jackson/Kidd seasons. We shall not mention the years before that though. Dark times. Medieval times.


God, I loved Monster Mash. He dropped 50 on Scottie Pippen and I was the happiest kid in high school.

Ok, that was fun. I was expecting OKC to win in a close one with Russell going nuts, or the Warriors blowing them out. Glad the latter happened. Also, Klay wasn't total poo poo, and Durant continues to make me very happy.

Embiid and Rodriguez are very fun to watch. The rest of the roster, sadly, not so much. Also, Ilyasova is like Jeff Green insofar that fans are usually excited when their team gets him, but after a couple of weeks/months they realize that the dude is just blah.

The Stein thing surprises me. I always thought he was a big Dirk/Mavs homer. Also, what's Parsons' deal? I guess he's not clubbing with Cuban anymore.

Also, I'm glad Luke's Lakers are winning games. They've been fun to watch.

Klay will be fine. His shot will come back. Zaza won't suddenly turn into Bogut though, which is a problem. Also, my new favorite player in the league is Devin Booker. Never stop shooting, Devin, you 15 year old rascal.

Yeah, I've watched two Wizard games this season, and that team just isn't very good. Some people probably still expect Porter to make the jump, but eh, I don't think that's going to happen. John Wall will punch the warp speed button and go coast to coast two or three times per game, and that's great stuff, but other than that? There isn't much to like.
