Better to burn out than to fade away ;). Like that line in the song.

More like the line "gunter glieben glauten globen". A whole lot of gibberish.

You haven't heard? He's all New Orleans needs for Anthony Davis.

If you ask danny ainge or a celtics fan new orleans would have to add two firsts


After they'll counter "Tatum+fillers" for 6 pages.

Injuries, lack of a bench and Ariza/Mbah Moute.

For mine, the most impressive things about Tatum last season were his discipline, composure and smooth shot

Looks virtually the opposite this year and is playing like an undisciplined chucker

Marv is senile, I wonder how many more seasons he has left.

So, no one is going to come close to challenging the Warriors in the West this year? Not like anyone had a great chance anyways.. but dang. Well maybe the Nuggets?

That offense got them 65 wins last season. They played the same exact way. Last year it worked.


It didn’t work because it’s failed the last three years. The way they play is garbage. You “ball movement and three point crazy” lovers just don’t want to face the music.


By that logic, nobodies offense is going to work except the WArriors this year.

Houston and OKC. Why keep your stars in the last half of the quarter. Eesch.

:lol: :lol: :lol:

Did he really say that? I missed it.

Melo is looking at one of his last years in the NBA I think. This guy is burnt toast.

Webber's point was that Melo has the confidence to keep shooting even after going 0 for 8.

Their “offense” is trash, plain and simple. Another L for the “ball movement” cult. Jacking up threes is not basketball, never will be.
