I saw that. Not a good sign.

They're on the market for some point guards three weeks before the season begins. That usually works out fine.

They can have Rondo

But then there would only be two alphas.

Doug kind of looks like alfalfa

I read that Wade plans to shoot more 3s this year. So there's the spacing you guys will need.

He took a few last night and hit them. I just rolled my eyes.

Sometimes, it just takes 13 years to learn how to shoot 3's.

I mean even Jason Kidd learned to hit them eventually, so surely Wade can too, right?

And then there's Josh Smith.....

poor bastard.

Picked a fight with someone today who tried to tell me that Wade was 'lights out' from three the last two years (15% 28% lol) and these comments Wade keeps making about having a green light to shoot more from there is a sign that he's ready to magically morph into Ray Allen now that his athleticism is on E.

It's going to be a long season...

Was this guy a Packers/Cubs fan too?

I don't believe there was any weird fandom cross contamination, no.

Ok, just an idiot. Good.

That person watched only the highlights of playoff games evidently.

For his sake I truly hope he's worked on his 3 point shot. Although that would make it even more perplexing why he refused to when he had LeBron on his team, but whatever. I wouldn't be surprised if he's shooting like 35% or so for the first month and thinks he's great at it and takes a ton and ends up around 30% for the year.

I think his over under for the year should be around 28.5%.

I might take the over but just barely. People killed Rose for shooting 30% from three (rightly so). It will be interesting to see if the fans give Wade a pass.

Some people get really defensive when you bring facts/stats to an argument.

I think that's his career average so I'll take the over, but only because that's so miserably low and if he's worked on the shot at all it's gotta be better than that, right?

So Bosh won't be playing in the playoffs this year after all regardless of his health. He should be really fresh for 2017-18 I guess, though.

So gutless coward Durant says he was glad his team lost so he could join the 'selfless' warriors and Russ responds with this:

Westbrook’s response to Durant’s comments this week: “That’s cute, man.”


“That’s cute,” Westbrook continued. “My job is to worry about what’s going on here. We’re gonna worry about all the selfish guys we’ve got over here, apparently. We gonna figure that out.”



Westbrook said he doesn’t care about what Durant says or whether or not it’s a shot at the Thunder. […] “To me it doesn’t matter,” Westbrook said. “My job is to worry about here. Honestly, I’m really tired of talking about it, so any time anybody asks me another question, I’m just not gonna answer. Just FYI. I’m not talking about it no more.”


Team Russ

Will you stay on Team Russ when he puts of 36/14/10 but shoots a 3 pointer off the shot clock in a tie game with 4 seconds left?

Team Russ will certainly embody the name.

I don't really care if the Thunder win. I do care that Durant is a pussy and Russ is not. So team Russ.

Supersonics.

verb, your thoughts on the carter-williams for snell trade?
