the warriors are literally saying that losing this game is good because it's a "refreshing slap in the face" as though losing in the finals when you were up 3-1 and then getting poo poo on by anyone with a pulse all summer wasn't enough of a "slap in the face".

Marcus Morris is literally the best player at gaurding LEbron James in the NBA. So Why don't the Warriors trade Kevin Durant for Marcus Morris and Stanley Johnon takes his role

i think morey trading mookey mook morris for some random second rounders was probably one of his worse low key moves as a GM

Rockets really, really need a competent PG to spell Harden. Points guard works fine, and they have some real spacing and solid offensive players for the first time in a while, but played some real dumb basketball especially when Harden was out.

Rick posted:

D'Anotni usually has wonderful game plans, that don't take into account the fact that some teams adjust during the half (and heck, some good teams adjust even more often than that!). The good news though is probably like half the coaches in the league don't bother with adjustments until the playoffs (if ever).

Not too dissimilar to Kevin McHale actually

i dont love beverly but he will help with this some i think and maybe even play some defense while he is doing it

edit: Honestly i'm sure i'll find MDA poo poo to bitch about but the rockets roster just isn't very good this year outside of harden and i've got pretty low expectations accordingly

I love Beverley like my own son, but they need somebody to pull the ball back and make the guys set some screens and poo poo before throwing up a 3 pointer and he isn't that guy

The roster is pretty mediocre but they have enough firepower to put together a fun offense if they wise up

I could make a mint if I had a shirt printing company with all the demands that SAS and TFF have for shirts.

There is one guy who makes a lot of the "trust the process" shirts and other weird internet sports memes and I've often wondered how much money he makes

With print on demand shirts it's not like you can lose money, just the opportunity cost of spending 8 hours designing a wacky meme shirt that you could've spent connecting with your estranged family members or something like that

Nene had a bizarre statline (0-2 FG, 8-12 FT). Something I would kinda expect from Harden. Guy looks like he's gonna be good for 2 million though so whatever.
