LeBron really thinks he's an Ohio State alumni lol

Safe to assume had he went to college Ohio State was his choice.

Completely normal for anybody remotely associated with Ohio, let alone grew up there. They're the pride of the state.

I thought he would be more of an Akron fan. I mean that's where he's from.

LeBron to big for his hometown I understand.

OKC copied Grizz postgame group interviews that we were doing 3 years ago.

He knew.

I bolded and italicized "crush" and the exclamation point. I also used large font for the exclamation point. I wanted everyone to know to bet a lot of money.

8 of our players scored 20+. Arguably our entire team scored 20+ bc --

• 12 is 20 for Kornet
• 8 is 20 for Tillman and Walsh
• 6 is 20 for Queta and Springer
• 4 is 20 for Scheierman

Honestly i should've used large font for "crush" as well.

I was pretty down on my Warriors last season and early offseason. Then they ditched Klay, Curry went nuts in Paris, and they picked up some nice role players, and got off to a 12-3 start with everyone playing over their head. It was enough to fool me and raise my hopes. But it turns out they are who i thought they were after last season.

I dont want to trade for Lauri or Levine or Butler or even KD. This team is not one star away., ese ially given that young players would be going out in such a deal. I would prefer they focus on the draft. They have their picks going forward, and i think they could add another mid-first if they send Wiggins out. Wiggins is playing well (despite being horrible today) and could really help a contender.

Not that depressing with a world championship. Lebron at the game also! As long as they don’t take Bryce it’s all good

Where does that leave Curry, then? Just Kerr, Dray and Steph chllin' with the kids til they retire? Honest question; I have no idea how I'd approach the situation out there. Well, I think you guys should take Vuc personally

but I'm biased and am ready for all new faces on our guys' roster.

Potentially, yeah. I'd leave it up to Steph if he wants to stick around or contend (elsewhere). He's realistic enough to know that you can't have both right now. The front office moves have to be for the future and not the now. Golden State has proven that they can find and develop talent as good as anybody. He could have a massive impact to up-and-coming players which could pay dividends to the franchise long after he calls it a day.

I'd love to see him start an end a hell of a career as a Warrior and I give him a ton of credit for not being a brat like Jimmy. But wouldn't fault him if he wanted to take one last crack at it.

I don’t know how much Naz Reid makes, but I bet he’s underpaid.

ChuckChilly · Post #119 » by **ChuckChilly** » Tue Jan 21, 2025 2:55 am

Whats up with Cody Williams? At one point he was projected to be the #1 pick. He struggles to get 4 points a game.
