Oh, did I say tonight? Sorry about that - I obviously meant Thursday

man they're fun. they don't even need wemby at 100%, which is great for this longevity. keldon johnson had been quiet recently and he's fully capable of being the guy. love the david robinson jerseys. i wish i had all my sports clothing from back in the day. had a tim duncan wake forest jersey

gadzooks!

Uncle. The Spurs are pretty, pretty, pretty good. I already had a few bucks on them to win it all from a bet a week or two ago, but I threw a few more bucks on them during the game today to win it all at +1900. They are down to +1400 on the same book postgame.

they're cooking. what i like most about the team is watching them operate in the paint. keldon johnson and harrison barnes have to lead the nba in footwork

who didn't see that coming? beat the best teams and drop a turd. i guess deaaron fox didn't play. it's amazing this was tied late being on the verge of getting blown out in the 3rd. with that said, you know, it's worth noting #1 okc fan thundermark's not so inconspicuous absence

anyone think the spurs will make a move at the deadline?

anyone see that game? on the road against the celts. no tatum no vassell. everyone's struggling from three lately, so they get into the paint. de'aaron fox is a menace in the midrange. at the deadline, i'd like to see something for at least a pascal siakim. we need some inside depth. i like kelly olynek from his days of zags, but he's deep bench at this point in his career. i ultimately want lauri maarkenen. with wemby's minutes a limit, he'd pick up the star power like a mini version of wemby. i called the de'aaron fox trade- you know i did- and this makes total sense. it just came to me. they need big man depth and to complete the triumvirate in insane fashion. i would certainly give up devin vassell if that's all it took but i know nothing about these hypotheticals. give them a late first round; who cares. they probably have the cap space with castle and wembs on rookies and the jazz, in no market to compete can afford to make a rival unstoppable. with maarkenen at the four, harrison barnes could add to the insane depth. go spurs

we certainly deserved that one!

I knew OKC would get them, I just had no clue when it would happen, lol.

whupped um! that was intense tho, it's the fkn jazz; at their place, but it's the fkn jazz sans lauri. granted vassell's been out a minute, still it's the fkn jazz. lost to the rockets- gotta beat those teams. beat the wolves finally despite ant dropping 55. it ain't the post season, these are all one offs. wemby looks like tim duncan

man there were moments in that lakers game were if it not for the uniform it woulda looked like something out of hoosiers. they didn't have reeves, lebron, or luka. jaxson hayes has grown into a solid nba player. him in dunk contest. wemby had 40 and didn't play the fourth quarter. recipient of some obscene opps. deaaron fox threw one off the window for fun when it looked like he was going to lay it up. instead he put some english on the ball and kissed it off the bottom right corner. it's crazy. if he's in position you can lob it up from anywhere, but you don't do that all the time because he's jacking up threes and it's all net. it wasn't clear from the highlights but it'd be neat to see kelly olynek and drew timme battle. it was also cool to see bronny play well. the rodeo is upon us

it was a battle but the spurs never let the pistons mount a comeback. the spurs have gotten some luck with catching good teams with injured stars or playing the wasteland but tonite was on the road against a contender, the best in the east and it was devin vassell who stepped up. keldon johnson also looks like nick van exel

if you check out the boxscore, you'll notice charles bediako on the pistons

So, my first NBA love was the Philly 76ers in the early 80s. Even though it was at the tail end of his career, Dr. J was still the Michael Jordan of that era. Julius was my hoops hero and I loved watching their run to win the chip during the 1982/83 season. They swept the Lakers in the finals baby! At some point, I transitioned to the Cavs after Brad Daugherty and Mark Price were drafted in the late 80s. Have followed them ever since.

I think the James Harden trade amplifies their "win now mode" with the current roster and it definitely shifted the balance in the east. A lot of hoops to go, but you can't fault Cleveland for standing pat. Another chip after LeBron's legacy would be incredible. The problem is the dadgum Thunder.

so do you like the browns because your people rooted for the browns because they were a franchise before the 'gals? are you from around the greater minster area like bruce? harden's entertaining. i saw this youtube short about him and he was blocking his own teammates shots, getting off the bench to steal a ball... my favorite was him giving up on a fastbreak, lagging in the paint, looking at the floor and then he kinda flings his arm out and knocks the ball out of the hands of the dude going up for a layup. i can't find it. he'll help you for sure. the nets shoulda knocked of the bucks in 21 i believe on his back alone. he carried them without durant i believe. cavs are scary. they beat the spurs earlier. the east is open

I grew up in NW Ohio farm country. The Browns were typically on tv for that region of Ohio. My Dad was also a Browns fan. That said, my first love was baseball as I played in youth leagues growing up. I worshiped Rose, Morgan, and Bench during the mid-late 70s. I remember watching a lot of their games back then on WLIO out of Lima if that channel is even still around. The Reds were the first pro team I followed. I'm also a loyal fan of both franchises, so that's it in a nutshell...

the cavs almost stole one from the pistons last night. they're out harden, and i guess mitchell. thunder and okc last night was nuts. lord, do not trip nikola jokic. he's gotta be the most fearsome specimen in the league. the west has pretty much all the star power. we'll see if tatum comes back, but i think the suns would be the best team in the east. a healthy suns team for some reason gives me the most worry for the spurs

I wouldn't say I'm necessarily a fan of them, but I put a few bucks on the Celtics a few days ago to win the East.

i will not be watching spurs highlights tonite. i'm sure i'll get to hear mo yap about it tomorrow afternoon
