New SI Cover featuring TD and LMA

[Budkin]

Great cover but at the "Surefire Finals Pick" Thunder??

[Russ]

Is the cover regional?

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

[Budkin]

Is the cover regional?

Not sure, just saw it on the SI twitter feed.

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

[Phenomanul]

LaMarcus with Tim's trademark inverse ball-holding pose.

[Chinook]

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

[RD2191]

Timmy looking 65.

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?

[Kool Bob Love]

Duncan passing the trouch to LMAlpha.

[LaMarcus Bryant]

Thunder as sure fire finals pick on our SI cover?
Are you ing ting me??? Now I'm not sure if I want to buy this

[SuperCam]

The team's two alphas on the cover

[in2deep]

so they made LMA look like a ninja turtle and Duncan like Splinter?

[BatManu20]

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.

[TheGreatYacht]

Duncan passing the trouch to LMAlpha.

[DJR210]

TD looks like Aldridges gf in that pic

[spursistan]

hopefully this is not our "now this is going to be fun" moment

[ChumpDumper]

shouldnt it be porker on the cover passing the bacon?

or he never had the torch in the first place?

Shouldn't you post about something else for once in your life?

Mainstream vanilla applesauce.

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..
