OKC roster & preview

[jermaine]

No, cause Kawhi didn't get slap by Barnes, Parker is not a liability and Pop is the second coming of Jesus that don't lose les because naiveness and stupidity... i swear, you guys so blind that you giving bad name to the term homers...

Having a Lil faith in your team that has 5 championships over a team who hasn't won jack doesn't make you a homer. Like we didn't get better. Like Kawhi didn't get defensive player of the yr. Like our bench ain't deep. Maaaan, get off the dog food homie. We DA best.

That new head coach is Billy Donovan, by the way. Age 50. Coached 19 years at the U of Florida. This is his first season as an NBA head coach. So, he's unproven in the NBA. He'll be jumping into "proof" with both feet tomorrow night.

Associate head coach is Monty Williams (who played for the Spurs in 1996-98, and was a coaching staff intern for the Spurs with the 2005 championship team.)

OKC assistant coaches include Maurice Cheeks. Some will remember Mo Cheeks with the 76ers, an all-star point guard. And former Spur

Mo was loved and forgotten.
A true tale of woe.

Not forgotten. I withdraw my remark, look up the page I tells meselfus.

Spurs can't beat them if their big 3 KD, Russ and Ibaka stay healthy...

Spurs can't win if the Thunder-refs are involved.....

That faith is not legit right now and for sure not deserve that iness behavior like you do, the Spurs right now is just the number 3 or 4 contender just to be the team that go out of the west, after Warriros, OKC, Clippers and might as well the Rockets... you should get ing reality check, you ing homer!

i'm betting against the spurs tomorrow in the form of Ibaka and Westbrook centered fanduel squads. and i have half a mind to save a little cap space and take Roberson. fully expect Aldridge to wet his shorts. kinda expect Parker and/or Danny Green to do the same. Kawhi and Timmy will probably strain their knees carrying so much weight on such a wet floor.
