GSW going with big lineup. So small lineup play Gobert off the floor is a myth.

One of the worst things about today’s league is kicking out for threes when you get deep in the paint for a layup.

I am beginning to think the best way to play interior defense is just pretend to slip and roll around on the fall, no one could make a shot near you :D

The commercial was cursed. Tom Cruise is over 60 years old. If there's a national emergency we ain't playing with you dawg... Try mission empty my bladder.
From a fundamental standpoint it is better for a man to have nothing but be under the protection of Jesus Christ than for him to have everything he could ever want yet be completely without.

Good start for the Wolves, more importantly, no testicles kicked or faces/necks punched yet.
