yep theyll start this simmons kid and SG, trade Danny Green for a young undervalued big, and RJ will come off the bench hitting 14 a night

My preseason prediction was that the Spurs would regress, looking like that was the dumbest prediction I've ever made.

Can't wait for Celtics Bulls. Think I may actually get to catch that game. Bulls outta be a real gross team. It's like they stole the blueprint from our injury ridden no shooting team that lost in the playoffs.

GSW just got pummeled on the boards. 54-35. 20 offensive rebounds. That's the recipe. When they go to that supposed "death" lineup, you have to punish them on the offensive boards and you have to beat Steph up all over the court.

Maybe KD was too busy daydreaming about shooting wide open 3s that he failed to realize that he's going to spend the bulk of his time playing PF this season. That interior defense might be a problem come playoff time.

Danny just sent a text message to Tom Brady, telling him to keep his schedule free on July 1st, 2017.......just in case.

I've promised myself to never make any prediction regarding the Spurs. It seems you'll look dumb regardless.

Durant was a terrific interior defender in the play offs last year, if he really wants that ring he has to realize Golden State needs that Durant as well. People here are quite quick with their conclusions, also think that the Spurs aren't THIS good.

Pau Gasol was -13 in a 29 point win, was curious if he tried harder on the defensive end under Pop, guess we know the answer.
