Thunder announce Kevin Durant is out 6-8 weeks because of "Jones fracture" in his right foot. Required surgery.

Shoot, Move, and Communicate...

That's crazy about Durant. Bucks potentially luck out (or don't if you want losses) as they play OKC very early at home I know.

I'd be calling with a Dudley/Ersan or Dudley/Zaza for Perkins/picks trade...I mean, they need a 3 right? :D

So it's just a pre-season game, but it's going to be a fun season for Warriors fans and a long season for Lakers fans.

Barbosa rims out a free throw, so Warriors only get 39 in the first. Lakers basically stayed with their starters and managed 13.

If Ray were to go out in Milwaukee, I'd like to see him grab a champhionship somewhere this year, then come to us NEXT year once we have another high pick.

Ray has plenty of rings and a remarkable career in the bag already...

If would agree to a swan song season I'd presume that the plan would be for it to come in anticipation of joining the front office or broadcast team or the like.

There isn't a rush either if he prefers to wait another year.

Only so many times one team shoots >60% and the other <30% though!

What'll be interesting is what plan B is for GS when Klay/Curry are off. There wasn't really one last season.

It's finally happened- Bogey just took his FTs left handed. Went 1/2, form looked good.

There's a lot more movement offensively, it almost looks like it's bee designed so they can move to a plan B! Crazy!

Yup! He missed his first 2 (I didn't see that, but I'm willing to believe it happened!) and then the commentators mentioned "now, one of the Golden State assistants told us he'd shoot the next ones lefty after that" and seemed excited about it and then eventually he got two and sure enough, lined up and shot them lefty.

I read/heard it a week or so ago that he'd been practicing it a fair bit.
