Is the cover regional?

(Answer to my own question: "yes.")

I clicked on your link -- there are four regional covers (including Kobe with D'Angelo Russell :lol).

Duncan looks like he go shrunk to make the picture look better. Or he's standing in the background.

i thought td is taller then lma...did td reach menapause?

They are the same height. I have seen them stand next to each other a few times on the court.

The more I think about it, the thunder winning the west isn't really a terrible take.

Just think about how good steven adams has gotten in the last two years...They still have a weakspot in SG position and they're really not a team in the same tier as SA, GSW and LA..but still..That team loooks good.

It's interesting to me that the Spurs seem like the team with the best and most mature team spirit in the NBA, but spurstalk reads like a nonstop battle of player dominance and superiority... interesting contrast.

But Billy Donovan is going to coach them to the Finals?

Timmy looking small in this pic. They must've done that intentionally for affect b/c they're about the same height, as we've seen in preseason.

Yea visual illusion to symbolically let Lamarcus shine. Lamarcus in the famous Duncan pose. They would never have agreed to that if Timmy wasn't cool with it. I personally loved this cover. It tells me more about Timmy than LMA. But both are Spurs and so glad to watch them play together this year. It should be so enjoyable!!!!

the Thunder aren't making the Finals, tbh..Too many question marks (health, whatnot..) and obvious holes in the team + the West is tougher than a couple years ago..though i think they can make run at Conf Finals with an upset or two..

Who thought it was a terrible take to begin with? Thunder winning is a perfectly reasonable option.

I think it arises from nationalistic interests of particular spurs fans. For example, I doubt there were many French Spurs fans before Parker came to the team.

For the NBA yeah but for the average man not really he's only 39 but he looks 50 tbh. I thought most black people aged well :lol

Could they make it look less like they photoshopped two separate photos together?

Yeah that had me going back and looking at the image again. Looks like they dropped both cutouts on a basketball court background and threw in some shadow. Old School indeed.

OKC is going to be fucked b/c they lack an NBA caliber wing defender. They can play Waiters over Roberson but that isn't going to solve the issue. Adams isn't going to play much if Ibaka/Kanter are healthy so he is still going to be underutilized which is good news for LMA/Tim since he's their best post defender.

The grey hairs make Tim look old but they also make him look bad ass compared to when he was younger.

Yeah, losing Sefolosha really hurt them there.
