Not weary. Weary means tired. Not picking on you specifically, I see it all the time around here. :D

He could be tired of paying the premium ticket price.

5 games into it
Let's see where that best draft class since 2003 is right now :

1.Andrew Wiggins ==> 9.8ppg 4.3rpg PER at 8.98
2.Jabari Parker ==> 10ppg , 6.8rpg PER at 7.52
3.Joel Embiid==> Broken Foot
4.Aaron Gordon ==> looked like a pure tweener against us ==> NBA position to be determined (TBD)!
5.Dante "the next Penny Hardaway" Exum ==> NBA position TBD ==> Combo guard? any explosion in his game?
6.Marcus Smart ==> Needs to tighten his handles
7.Julius Randle ==> Broken Leg
8.Nik Stauskas ==> A pure shooter shooting 27%
9.Noah Vonleh ==> suffering from Sport Hernia

Let's check back after 20 games

Rubio may have broken something. They're calling it an ankle sprain but the pic looks horrible.

Actually, Spurs tickets are usually reasonably priced. And I've always been lucky enough to see the big 3 when I've gone to their games. Pops must love Canada. But there should be some guideline to enforce the principle that teams can only rest designated stars for home games.

It still pisses me off last season when I made a point of seeing the Mavs game because of the return of Jose C., and Dirk was in a suit to start the game.

Conley is such a weird clutch player. He always seems to hit the big shots in crunch time but he also bricks free throws at the same time.

The Rubio injury looked bad. I had a high ankle sprain once from ball and it looked similar to that immediately after the injury. That would mean a couple weeks but at least it wouldn't be broken.

Marcus Smart had to be taken off the court on a stretcher as well. Dafuq is up with all these injuries :-?

Guess it's time for another Cavs adventure.

Thinking they win this if they can keep rebounding close.

Quite the shot by Lance. 8-)

Grizzlies are the only team in the league I trust to play successful defense when up by 1 in the final 45 seconds of games. They never seem phased by the pressure. I'd argue they're the one team just as poised as the Spurs, if not better in crunch time.
