[RookieStar]

Are you hiring ?

Are you a millionaire?

Fake it till you make it

[BruttoNostra]

I'm so happy they lost their first game to a tanking squad of a Finnish, a Ukrainian (Слава Україні!) and a mormon (or just one married to a mormon? Not sure how it works).
Very aspirational season opener for the Ballmericans

Kawhi saw the starting frontcourt of the Utah Jazz and what he thought about was a bunch of tall trees, so it triggered all those memories about when he had to work hard and plant thousands of them.

Nurkic is Ukranian?

[Godymas]

so Kawhi Leonard played last night

I don’t see any indication that he’s getting punished

it sounds like the NBA is just waiting for people to forget

Svi is Ukrainian. Nurkic is Bosnian.

I actually didn't realize how old this Clippers team is lol the roster construction is hilarious. I'm looking at it and it must be up there with the oldest roster ever.

Svi is Ukrainian. Nurkic is Bosnian.

Yeah I knew Nurkic was Bosnian as seeing him play for the Bosnian team.

Didn't see Svi when I watched their game.

Ah.. you didn't mention starting. When I "channel-hopped" their game I saw Nurkic, didn't know they have SVi with them

From the limited highlights I watched, Svi even guarded Harden, at least in the first quarter.

They couldn't believe what happened with Chauncey Billups and Terry Rozier.

*Ballmer rubbing his hands hoping this distracts his issue*

They have the oldest team ever by average player age

They forgot about when the Nets were paying Harden, KD, and Kyrie under the table so it tracks. Already have another scandal to distract too.
