Why don't the Knicks give Porzingis the ball?

Lol@these tryhard commercials with Warriors players. First the KD insurance one now this Steph ad. Bet we see one featuring Green before the night is over. He's the most insecure on that team honestly.

Most insecure championship level team ever. **** is so obvious too. Makes me appreciate KG even more.

Yeah. They cried all year how no one respected them enough for their title win and then they went and blew a damn 3-1 lead in the finals. :lol:

How do you think we match up with the Knicks? Will be interesting to see how Stevens handles Porzingis,Melo and Noah.

Knicks are just trash. Rose and Noah, as expected, are cooked...

They are who we thought they were.

Those Sager Strong sneakers are already up to 1000$ on Ebay. Really want a pair but most I'd spend is 400$.

What a trash opening game. Not sure the last time I've had this little excitement about an upcoming NBA season and this opener did not help in the least, lol.

The triangle has to go. Seriously, Melo isn't that kind of player neither is Rose. That's 2 of their top scorers who don't fit into that system....Phil just needs to swallow his damn pride and throw the triangle in the trash. If it ain't working by now it never will.

SAS up double digits at the end of 1st quarter. I'd love to see the super team go down 0-1 to start the season.

Also pretty funny to hear every excuse the NBA media seems to have for why Durant going to GS wasn't spineless.

That's why I have love for Chris Webber. He called it what it was on Open Court.

This is nice but, gotta keep in mind this will probably be the worst the Dubs will be. Disappointing the Knicks didn't show up, shouldn't be that surprising the Cavs show up on opening night, but really hoping the Cavs won't be uber motivated so we'll have a shot to steal #1.

How has Danny Green looked? I just turned it on. They NEED Green to not suck to have any shot at winning a playoff series vs these guys.
