It's a LOOONNNGGGG season. Anything can happen. Everyone is already crowning them champs, but they have to get to the post season healthy first. Even then, it's anyone's ball game.

You guys talk about Boban like he's this god sent child or whatever. He sucks and sucks.Quote:

Lebron took the pressure off in some eyes by doing it first. Maybe KD sees it that way. Pathetic and a massive bitch move. Some people I guess think winning a ring regardless of circumstance is all that matters.Quote:

True. Back in the 80s joining the team which just punked you in the playoffs would've been unheard of. Actually, up until rather recently.Quote:

That is, Durant is an upgrade over Iguodala, but his optimal game is to be in Thompson's role. Losing guys like Barnes and Bogut will hurt them.
I think the real value for GS in this move is weakening a rival.

Stephen A ranting via Facebook earlier, yikes
Never will a team have such high expectations. Should be entertaining.
Ilyasova hasn't played SF since his rookie season, he's way too slow to play there.Quote:

I especially hated that cHeat team. Such a weak move. Now I hate the Warriors just as much.Quote:

You know, BG and DPG21920, you are right. My mistake. He's been playing PF much more the last few years.Quote:

I like this move for the Spurs. It eliminates one of the two teams clearly standing in our way from making the Finals. Now it's just GSW with an honorable mention to the Clippers. I don't know that the Warriors improved their team nearly as much as OKC just got worse. No Ibaka, and now no KD? The West is now a two horse race.
Too soon for the T-pups and Coach Thibs to get any love?Quote:
