[BillMc]

Nice cover le...Old School!

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.

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

shouldnt it be porker on the cover passing the bacon?

or he never had the torch in the first place?

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.

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.

Damn Tim looks old as

[DarrinS]

Damn Tim looks old as

He is

[Leetonidas]

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

[rmt]

Timmy looking really grey and old.

[Mr. Body]

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 ed 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.

[Kawhi 5-0]

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

Good call!

Duncan passing the trouch to LMAlpha.

Not until he's retired.
