I just came in the house. Did Charles Barkley and them talk about the Kyrie situation? Did they crack jokes about it or anything?

I had no idea Vin Baker was an assistant coach for the Bucks. Great to see him still being part of the organization.

Name a more humble star player than Giannis. You could see he wants the spotlight on his teammates.

warriors dont got a chance.
lakers have a big 3 and the warriors have steph who could realistically be outproduced by westbrook.

Something really grating about SVG's voice. Imagine being yelled at by that for a whole season.

That crowd seems quiet.
Comments to rationalize bad contracts -
1) It's less than the MLE
2) He can be traded later
3) It's only __% of the cap
4) The cap is going up
5) It's only __ years
6) He's a good mentor/locker room guy

He talks way too much and is a moron. Whatever he says, the opposite is likely true

Nets just have no answer for Giannis. Eating them alive on the glass.

Rebounding is a problem for the Nets. They're just not that big upfront.
