The road was easy. The Nuggets were hurt and the Suns were in that Maury Povich episode where Maury yelled “Luka Doncic, you ARE the father”

Tony Parker

All his teammates past and present

Lebron James and Delonte West

Luka and Booker, but that’s really just typical father/son bullshit

Ehh, whatever. They’ll still give him ROTY.

Orlando Magic. Paulo Banchero is Italian, still at the beginning of his career, and the Magic are on the rise.

Or, Dallas Mavericks. Luka Doncic is from your neighbor Slovenia, and he’s a top 3 player and probably the most exciting player in the league to watch.

Or, San Antonio Spurs. Victor Wmbanyama is from your neighbor on the other side, France. He’s the most hyped rookie in decades, but the Spurs still suck. So maybe not them.

“Who the fuck do you think you are?!?!?”

“I’m Batman”

Pop turning into Don Nelson wasn’t on my bingo card for any year.

Kyrie is happy in Dallas

Why couldn’t we do this before Derek Harper left?

Aside from the Nuggets, all the top teams in the west are unexpected. I think there might have been a changing of the guard.

It’s about damn time.

I don’t hate Christian Wood, but I definitely don’t want him back on our roster.

I also don’t hate DWade. Anymore. Actually some of his post career stuff has made me respect him. He’s a good human.

Neither of those guys are superstars.

The refs brought that ring to Miami, not Shaq.

The Bucks are playing well, but they’ve taken a big step back defensively. I’m not sure that Dame’s offense makes up for losing Jrue’s defense. It’s not like Jrue didn’t already bring good offense.

Trading good offense and elite defense for elite offense and weak defense looks like a bad move to me.

Sometimes they work, sometimes they don’t. Kyrie to the Mavs is working, but I’m not sure Kyrie is still a superstar. He’s got superstar skills though.

I’m happy with this team and this roster. We’re way better than we were 2 years ago. This years roster with that teams chemistry and teamwork has a much higher ceiling.

I was pretty surprised he got that massive contract after watching how badly he was outcoached by JKidd 2 years ago. I’m not a Monty Williams believer.

But they didn’t call him for flopping?

I’m sorry, I’m still hung up on that time Dante Exum lowered his shoulder like a fullback, rammed Gary Trent in the chest, knocked him back three steps (he didn’t fall though!)… and the refs called Trent for flopping.
