I know most don't care for Stephen A Smith but we can all agree with him on this....except for Warriors and Cavs fans I'm assuming.

Well, I agree with half of it

 

[gordontrue]

Actually, that's not correct. Teams don't make moves to try and beat Lebron, they make moves to try to beat the Cavs because the Cavs are the team they have to go through to get out of the East.

Cavs, LeBron.... LeBron, Cavs.... they're interchangeable really

Reverse racism.

I bet this happens a lot.


Has anyone ever said anything to you racially on the basketball floor? Redick: I remember Rodney Stuckey, who I am fine with, we were in Detroit and he said something to me. I can’t even remember what it was, but the way he said it and the way his tone was, ‘white something,’ I lost it. I remember we both got a double technical. I can’t remember specifically what it was. It was a long time ago. We were all good. For the most part, it doesn’t come all that often.

Where are all the white American NBA players?

I really like the Jazz.

Too bad Hayward got injured.

But, they have some nice veteran depth.

No way the Warriors lose on opening night.

It would be FAN-FUCKING-TASTIC if the Spurs beat them.

But, that's just the hater in me's wishful thinking....lol

First two and Warriors by homicide.

Spurs = Glenn's eye

I think the Warriors win, I just don't think they cover. I'm kind of counting on the magnitude of the moment of one of the best teams ever assembled stepping on the floor for the first time, coupled with them trying to figure out the pecking order slowing them a bit. The Spurs are still really good too, 2nd best team in the West imo. I ain't betting this shit though lol, I just got a feelin'.

Time for Kawhi to be great.

I think he can be.

Should be a fun game.....I hope.

Yeah, I picked the Jazz at first... then I remembered Hayward is out.

As for my Warriors pick... that is definitely coming from the land of wishful thinking.

I'm all in on Kawhi this year. I think his shooting improves even more.

Oh yea, this game's gonna be fun no matter what happens.
