Great segment by NBAtv on Reaves and his buddy on the golf course. He seems like the "golly gee" guy off the court but flips his hat backwards when he puts the uniform on.

They don't even have to hide Conley due to the amount of size/ athleticism in the back court and front court. Truly a nightmare


I agree 100% with this take

He struggled in the finals and they still dominated. He's more of a luxury than a necessity tbh, and that's perfect for him.

this Wolves team and this Celtics team (just to name two, there are more) are considerably better than last year's Heat team

Knicks commentators are off by 1 fact twice - Pop signed a 5-year extension - not 4.

Pop is the POBO, not GM.

Is it that hard?

He's the one coach and POBO who has been in his position longest lol

Like they didn't even have to look up the second one.

The Spurs Way
Thinking of you, Pop :hug:

Raptors fans, how do you defend your mascot being named "Raptor?" I'd like to hear that.
