Iguodala is a good pick for who will deserve to win 6moy, but he never will. If he couldn't beat Jamal Crawford last year he's not winning it. It will always go to some bench gunner who is likely inefficient and gives as much back on defense as he helps on offense. Sad!

Not inefficient but my guess will be Kanter. I think he's gonna have a big season. If not him it will be Jamal again or Knight.

Patterson another guy that could deserve it but will never win it. Spacing and smart mobile defense ain't getting it done.

This is going to be the most anticlimactic regular season in NBA history. Cavs Warrios finals -175. Warriors ship -150.

Here's to hoping Thunder tickets are cheaper this year so I can watch GOATbrook go for the highest usage percentage ever.

Great OP, hopefully the season is more exciting than waiting for the Warriors to beat the Cavs in 6.

#Rockets50 just makes me think that they're only going to be playing hard for 50% of the game. Which is probably accurate.

no, not that one

and his investment team on Tuesday offered to forgo public financing to build a new sports arena in Seattle’s SoDo neighborhood.

The group also said it would cover the current funding gap to build an overpass over Lander Street

hmm...

a project long desired by freight and industrial interests concerned about congestion in around the Port of Seattle.

so that canal not gonna get dredged then? RIP Frankie

Quote:

The proposal amounts to a stunning and swift turn in the nearly five-year debate over building a new arena and, ultimately, bringing a professional basketball and hockey team to the city.

dude really wants an NBA team, but he might have to settle for NHL in the short-term, or risk being another one of these jabronis holding a building with no teams
(iirc he said in the past that he'd take both just to have the tenants, but like most people, he doesn't really care about hockey)

wrt the NBA, is he thinking relocation here, or maybe they expanding to 32?
would be kind of gross for Seattle to steal someone's team...
