There's some hilarious irony in people calling Dwight a bitch for wanting to go to play in New Jersey instead of LA.

Bitch wasnt the best word in this instance. Moron is better.

Also I don't quite buy that story. He could've just gotten traded to LA, use his ETO and join Deron in the summer, thereby getting what he wanted. Instead he opted in and greatly upped the chances that Deron just goes to Dallas.

Dwight didn't want to be known as the Supervillain. If he did that to LA he'd be one of the most hated men in America.

Cousins might be awesome, but at least Wes Johnson is a nice guy.

The guy who has demanded his coach be fired for a year then smiling and hugging for cameras with him while trying to create a us vs the media bullshit dialogue didn't go about his business in a direct and honest fashion?
I am shocked.

Lawl, a superstar leaving the Lakers for the Nets would be congratulated.

That's true. The fact that he's worse than Wayne Ellington doesn't bother me now.
That's about the only reason I can think of if that story is true. Dwight didn't want to look like a asshole for opting out after only being with the team for half a season. Damn Dwight really needs to accept that he's a heel. He's turned into Cena, refusing to embrace the hate

No fucking way the Lakers would have ever considered dealing Bynum without an extension from Dwight signed.
Horseshit story is horseshit.

This whole Dwight thing makes me confused as to who to root for.
The Spurs will be irrelevant once Timmy and Manu retire (i think? Pop 2gud), so I'd like to at least be able to cheer for some of the stars of the new generation. Ask me a couple years ago who I'd like to pick up the mantle of the previous generation and I'd have said Dwight. Now I'm not so sure. Lebreezy is never winning, Durant's team is unlikable, Blakes a bitch...
K-Love and Rubio future? I want to believe...

Why not cheer for the spurs
Justin Timberlake

Well no shit. Of course I will.
I'm just trying to decide which of these young stars I'd rather win if the Spurs can't.
OKC's remaining schedule:
I've got us going 10-2.
San Antonio's remaining schedule:
Spurs lose 4 at the absolute most, them going 12-2 seems more likely at this point.
It's gonna come down to the wire. The 1 seed is much more important for OKC than it is for SA.
The only way I see the Spurs pushing super-hard to get the 1 seed is if Memphis moves up to the #3. The Spurs definitely want to avoid the Grizz.
12-2 would be gooooddlllyyyy
You know why?
(hint: we have 38 wins right now)
Justin Timberlake

No but winning it all this year will.
One for the thumb!
(for those wondering: Spurs have not only won their last 9, but are 26 of their last 31. They haven't even lost with the new roster!)

How many career rebounds does Garnett have, and where does he rank among the all time in rebounds?

Man at his age he is still pulling in double digit rebounds every night. I thought he would be in the top 10. Thx.

Yawn...even Kobe has one of those already.
Your franchise so fucked when Pop hangs it up.
Justin Timberlake

He'll be top 10 eventually. Should get ~1200-1400 more rebounds before he retires.
Yeah.
Better than COTY Mike Brown and a goon center as our future. Our window is short but at least it exists.

"Orlando Magic new head coach Isiah Thomas"
At this point, I'm solely concerned about avoiding SA as long as possible.
An ideal scenario is that Memphis ends up at #3 and plays the Spurs in the second round. Even if the Spurs prevail, it'll be a tough series.
I like OKC's odds against anyone *except* San Antonio. With HCA, I think we win it in 7.
Thank god Timmay is on the backside of his career and our roster is still young.

If this happens then I'll ban myself from GAF for a year.
I hear Pringles has some free time. Could prob turn Dwight into Bynum East from the perimeter.

Reilo you must also remind him of the utmost importance pertaining to remaining in one's lane.

TCBs Optimism is cute, let him be.
I'll gladly take OKC's version of "not winning shit" over Portland's.
So, the Thunder are last in assists. I was curious, has a team that ever finished last in assists ever won a championship? I only looked back as far as '99.
Season | First | Last | Champ (Ast Rank)
2011: Rockets | Bucks | Mavericks (2nd)
2010: Jazz | Nets | Lakers (15th)
2009: Jazz | Grizzlies | Lakers (2nd)
2008: Suns | Knicks | Celtics (9th)
2007: Suns | Blazers | Spurs (11th)
2006: Suns | Knicks | Heat (17th)
2005: Kings | Sonics | Spurs (14th)
2004: Kings | Wizards | Pistons (15th)
2003: Jazz | Heat | Spurs (22nd)
2002: Jazz | Rockets | Lakers (9th)
2001: Jazz | Knicks | Lakers (9th)
2000: Timberwolves | Clippers | Lakers (10th)
1999: Suns | Hawks | Spurs (6th)
Nothing definitive either way. The only concrete thing I could garner from this is that the team last in assists is a bottom dweller. Really surprising to see the Thunder dead-last or near the bottom. Is that a precursor to anything? Maybe not, but the inability to share the ball could do them in.
Enjoy your regular season championships.

Reilo nothing happens until it does.
I will!
I don't know what'd be more fun, Isiah back there or Calipari going there for the first time.
I thought Walsh basically was already gone after last season?

Honestly dude, I think we'd beat ya'll either way. I don't think HCA makes much of a difference; all I care about is health. Pop has figured out OKC so thoroughly its scary. Our roster is like the perfect counter for yours...
MEM is the wrench in the puzzle. I think if we play well, we'll beat them but damn it will be tough. Especially in a 2nd round series with back-to-backs.
Its the same for you guys though. If you face MEM instead of us, your chances go down dramatically. What side of the bracket they land is as important as HCA..
