Mods came and said this was cool. Go make a fake GT. Get that deleted. Be my guest.
Quoting my haters. Like I give a about them.
Honestly this dabom trolling is perhaps the greatest trolling left on this site. Game threads were the last quasi non troll thing here. Now there's a new joke every game. It's just kind of sad.
I hadn't thought about that, but it's true.
Interesting article introducting tonight's matchups.

How the Spurs divvy the workload now that they have two volume scorers available could plot the course for the remainder of their season.
“We played a certain way in the first third of the season,” guard Manu Ginobili said. “Now we have to readjust to playing with (Leonard). We are going to have to work hard to make this transition seamless.”
That hard work continues Friday in Houston, where the Spurs face a surging Rockets team familiar with the notion of melding a pair of stars into a two-headed monster. When All-Star point guard Chris Paul arrived via trade last June, some observers wondered how he would fit with a similarly ball-dominant player like James Harden.
The answer has been “magnificently.”
Harden is averaging an NBA-leading 31.4 points per game. His 9.4 assists rank third, just behind second-place Paul’s 9.9 assists.
Houston’s fast-paced, 3-point heavy offense is averaging 113.2 points per 100 possessions, second only to Golden State. At 22-4, the Rockets are the only team ahead of the Warriors in the Western Conference standings.
The Rockets ride into Friday’s showdown on an 11-game winning streak, having gone unbeaten since Paul’s Nov. 16 debut after missing time with a knee injury. “We’re riding high right now,” Houston coach Mike D’Antoni said. “We know we’ll have some bumps. We have a lot of things to figure out.”
D’Antoni’s counterpart in San Antonio knows the feeling. For Gregg Popovich, the adjustments go beyond finding a way to mesh Leonard and Aldridge in a way they haven’t quite in the past.
He said he also needs to decide how to use third point guard Dejounte Murray, with Parker now available most nights. Popovich also plans to find a consistent role for forward Kyle Anderson when he recovers from his sprained knee.
“You can’t predict the future or plan the future,” Popovich said. “It’s a matter of continuing to play the way we play and players just fitting in. The system is not going to change. Hopefully the players will adjust.”
When it comes to the Aldridge-Leonard project, there is little to be gleaned from Tuesday’s 95-89 loss in Dallas. With Leonard rusty and on a minutes limit, Aldridge still got his shots. He scored 23 points with 13 rebounds on an underwhelming 9-of-23 shooting. Leonard scored 13 points in 16 minutes and shot 6-of-12 before exiting the game after the third quarter. For Leonard, the Spurs’ leading scorer the last three seasons, all those numbers are sure to rise in the days to come.
He says he can be patient with his game. “I’m just happy to be out there, just to play the game,” said Leonard, who extended his streak in double figures to 109. “I missed everything on the court and I’m glad I was able to play.”
So far, Aldridge is saying all the right things when it comes to the prospect of splitting the offense with Leonard. He does not plan to change his mindset, even as his field goal attempts go down. “We are both going to play well,” Aldridge said. “Both of us are going to try and help us win, so I’m not worried about that.” That second part is all the rest of the Spurs care about. They believe they have enough time to figure it all out.
“If the record stays the same or somewhat similar, it doesn’t matter,” Ginobili said. “We just have to continue improving and get to April the right way.”
D bag OP is such an attention .
Kawhi leonard is back, but Spurs have work to do fitting him in.

Spurs 112

Rockets are a whole tier above SA, this is the best Rockets team since 95
This is supposed to be the official GT?
It's tempting.
I'd say let's give the child this thread... maybe he will calm down in the future.
When does the basketball talk start in here?? What page...?
Dammit its 7 PM in Riga. I missed the game. Did we win?
Rockets will wear their Black uni's tonight as they host a team whose primary color is Black. Brilliant. Going for "the funeral" concept perhaps?
And pink him if the Spurs lose!
BatManu with the goods as always.
