There is seriously a store in Phoenix called Dick's Surprise?

Great name for a STD checkup place, not sure about a sporting goods store though.



It is Dick’s sporting goods the Surprise location :D

Surprise location? Like the office kitchen?



More like the Laundry room.

did they leave?

I'm barely here anymore as well. Hated last season's team and even if it's looking better this year my League Pass went from $30 for the season to $160 so **** it.

No PGs last season made the team hard to watch indeed. Now there are two of them amongst the best in the league in taking care of the ball. An exciting rookie who plays great D. A better coach and improved chemistry. I feel optimistic about the season. These days one can find quite easily free live streams online.

I don't think all his added weight was really planned. Maybe he went overboard when asked to add a few pounds?? He looks unplayable with the added girth. I don't think it made him any more able to battle down low or anything...

I still have Ayton getting traded to New Orleans somehow, probably for Brandon Ingram and a pick.
I also have Jerami Grant getting traded to the Wolves for Julius Randle.

I wonder how good the Spurs will be. Before CP3 kind of faded in year 3 after those year 2 playoffs in Phx, he had led every team he'd been on to the playoffs. Then he ended up in GS.

Even though he doesn't have much left, he will be good for that Spurs team, even just the intangible stuff. It doesn't matter if he doesn't contribute a lot shooting wise on the court, since they probably don't expect to make the playoffs, but he may have practiced his 3 a lot since his midrange game is kind of gone and he can't move like he used to.

But with Wemby adding 25 lbs of muscle and working with Jamal Crawford all offseason on different ways of scoring, along with the vet addition of Harrison Barnes, Keldon Johnson, Vassell, Zach Collins, Sochan, Tre Jones, etc, they could be pretty tough. We already know they beat us twice last year and I imagine they will be a lot better this year.

CP can be practicing all the 3s in the world, his legs are gone, so you can stick a fork in him shooting wise. He might even have a relatively high percentage for all I care, it will be becouse he only takes a couple shots a game overall. See John Stocktons last years stats...

Allen still injured / not training with achilles issue.

They take time to ramp up.

We have the better players on paper in most of our early games, hope we click and get the intensity up.
