Whoa, that's actually not ugly. Has it been approved? I thought they had to hurt the eyes to be legit.

Our NBA Cup court:

Hopefully people won't be slipping all over it like they have previously. Seemed a little dangerous in the past.

The NBA cup is just so bush league...

At least not as hideous as some of the cup courts.

I'm ready for something like this lineup

White, Simons, JB, Hoogo, Queta
Pritchard, Hauser, Minott, Boucher, X

Injuries/foul trouble, etc: Walsh, Garza, Scheierman.

Starting all the guys that know what they're doing together leaves the bench in shambles. Simons could use to play with White & JB some. Pritchard & Hauser can settle the bench. Could possibly flip Hauser and Hoogo, since X & Boucher know things as well.
