Can't believe the regular season starts tonight. Just seemed like the Finals ended a couple weeks ago.

Philly vs Celtics: 6:30PM CST TNT

GSW vs Lakers: 9:00PM CST TNT

I’ve never understood the Barry tweets. He’s a fun twitter troll not a well respected, expert on sports or anything close to it. If we cared about Barry’s thoughts we’d follow him on twitter. He’s not my go to source to back up an argument.

Kenrich, Muscala, and Bazely are so ****ing useless.

Once JW went down with the concussion (or whatever), the Thunder didn't really have a third player.

Knicks should have won and the Pels dominated the Nets. Pels will be a top team in the West if they stay healthy

That's not surprising to anyone. They took a really good team and added a superstar to the mix.

The true prize of next year’s draft is Ho You Fat

He's decent at the 3 point line but other then that he's just average. - KCC

I will add that KCC does give this thread some flare and he doesn't like my Warriors who were raising that Championship banner last night.

16 rings before he came and nobody is impressed by that 4 month off bubble ring at the YMCA.

Westbrook goes 0 for 11. Benched with a minute left (he should have never entered the game in the 2nd half). Worst player in the NBA.

Victor, Scoot, and the Thompson Twins (no, not those guys).

And Beverley was 0-7.

Sometimes guys just look different than everybody else.

You see the video of him warming up?

Everytime someone says NBA teams don't play defense I talk about the time I saw Dwight Howard, known bricklayer, make like 15 straight mid range jumpers in warm ups. Because NBA players, even 'bad' shooters, just don't miss when they aren't guarded.

They're doing a pre-game spot and Westbrook is in the background getting 12 footers up. He went like 2 of 8.

He's just ****ing trash.

If he had any self awareness he would embrace the roll of a drive and kick PG only and play some defense. He still is quick and can get to the basket fairly easy he should just do that. But nah he wants to take jumpers and bricks them most of the time.

Or in short, do what Rondo did early in his career.

The reverse Jason Kidd?

Through the early part of his career, Kidd was, politely, a sub-optimal shooter. Now right around the time he hit 30 he found his stroke and could really shoot. But early in his career he was very much a drive and kick guy.
