Seriously, you were never a Hornets or Bobcats fan? I used to love the Rams, but they left so fuck em. Used to love the Raiders but they left so fuck em.

I root for my home teams, and if they lose I rep the western conference team in any sport. I root against the Yankees, Red Sox, Bulls, Patriots, Miami etc. So maybe that's where you think I'm a Warriors fan, but I rooted for the Spurs against both LeBron and the Pistons. I rooted for the Mavs against the Warmth when Stern told the refs to blow the whistle.

I still follow all the players the Lakers and Dodgers drafted. One to see if management made a good decision and two cause I'd like them to succeed. However when they play the Lakers fuck em.

That's the difference between us. Carry on

Man that's why dudes thought I was a damn Warriors fan but I rep Nuggets all the time.

People love to come in and say they should have did this or that; but unlike baseball, basketball you have to match the salaries; why would any team give up any viable assets when they know the player can leave after 1 year? and the player has basically stated he wants to play in L.A. So unless the Clips are Lakers were willing to give up something of valuable, which reports came up that they werent, then Spurs did the best they could; to get back a solid player back and dump some salary, I thought the Spurs made out pretty decently. Spurs had a 2o year run of being at, near, or on top; thats pretty amazing; i hate the spurs but what they have done has been remarkable...

Yeah. They couldn’t risk getting nothing out the deal, which would have been the case if they didn’t act. Those runs can’t last forever. 20 years is a long time. The one thing they don’t want to be is a middle of the pack team like the Hornets. You’re never bad enough to get anything in the draft but never good enough to go anywhere. That’s what the Spurs are right now.

To me, it’s time for them to change it up. That’s not a bad thing either. It’s a different league now of days. If Pop would have stuck with the system that beat Miami, then they would have adapted to this new league well. But Pop still thinks he can win with that 2/3 man feed the low post game. That’s just being stubborn.

Lakers and Clips had far better packages on the table.. Assets and picks.

I didnt see any offers that the Lakers or Clips supposedly offered that was better; show me bro those offers; I would like to see them....
Man im not digging up that old shit. Do your own googles.. Magic offered picks and varying players including Ingram, Hart, Kuzma, Ball.. Spurs kept asking for all of them except for Ball. Paper clips had packages including Harris and others.. Spurs didnt wanna send him to his preferred destination.

The Spurs gave up their best defensive players

Yeah, you can have a system and the coaching, but you need the players.

Derozan is probably having the year of his career, but he's no Kawhai because he only does it on one end. Now add losing Danny and his defense. Danny was also one of their better three point shooters.

It was bound to happen. Depending on Aldridge and Derozan? Pop's a good coach, but he's not that good of a coach.

Dubs still missing their leader Draymond. They're now tied in the loss column with the lowly Lakers.

I'm not sure what the Lakers offered but we know the Spurs asking price was insane....especially to a western conference team....

Hezonja and the Knicks are bums. I see he didn't step up to Greek on that dunk though.

And would people stop saying he dunked on Greek as if Greek didn't try to block his shot from behind. That's not getting dunked on so Mario didn't earn that stare down in the first place.

he tried to block him from behind and fouled him in the process w/ dude still being able to pull off the dunk...definitely warrants the stare down imo...I’m surprised as hell refs ain’t hit him up w/ “taunting” tho...it’s a dumb rule but I’ve seen them nail dudes w/ it for less

What the hell is going on with Golden State

Theyre missing the MVP of their team Draymond Green. Without him, they are the Phoenix Suns. They need to get it together because a lot of folks depending on them to keep the Lakers out of the Finals the next 4-5 years.

Lake Show! 3 in a row! :cheers:



The "lil homies" Big Kuz, BI, Hart, Lonzo need to play like this every night. Them boys came to play today. A home and away against the Spurs who always play the Lakers tough will be a good test. :yes:
