    Don't mind multiple guys with great vision.

    Do mind multiple guys with below avg defense.

    i wasn't being sarcastic, we already got the try-hard style guy in Jalen Green

    I mean, if you put it into perspective:

    1. Our starting center won't turn 20 until next month and still needs to get conditioned for NBA life
    2. Our starting power forward is a rookie coming off of a one-and-done season
    3. Our starting shooting guard played piss poor defense but ....only place to go now is up right? lol

    It's a young core. I think Sengun will be respectable on defense if Green and Porter tighten up the perimeter defense. I'm excited to see what JC and Garuba can bring on the defensive end in their 2nd years.

    Cargo pants have been incredibly popular in what's called GORP fashion for a while now in brands like Engineered Garments and 18 East but I think the more mainstream brands are starting to catch on. I'm not big into extra pockets but the looser fitting pants that don't look like JNCOs have been a revelation for me after spending the previous decade wearing more "slim fitting" stuff.

    this has been your fashion moment of the day.

    you clearly don't gamble if you don't understand what you responded to

    you know why the odds dramatically shifted back in the last hr after woj put out a tweet and books took the odds down. Because once everyone saw his tweet they put their money according to what woj posted. Why would the odds allow all these folks to continue and get great odds and books lose money. The purpose of books are to make money, not lose

    What’s really awesome is that picture looks like something you’d have taken at a Sears portrait studio in the mall. I’m surprised there’s not a covered bridge or a red barn in the background.

    BUSTED! Nevertheless, it's foolish to take action on temporary and unconfirmed speculation.

    I think distribution by committee might be the vision. Taking the ball out of KPJ's hands on every other possession or so would be a good thing for everyone. Scoot is a great catch and shoot guy and rim attacking guard. Utilize Banchero to set the table. Ball movement appears to be the goal which would be ideal for a team and fanbase so used to hero ball. If Stone thinks Paolo is HIM then make the move. Fortune favors the bold.

    I've been a fan for about 20 years and I still can't avoid about twice a year spending most of the day locked in "refresh" season

    if you're doing it straight from the dark sure you could say that. But that's gambling and the risk you take. It's not for everyone obviously

    When are they finally gonna make sports betting legal in TX? Is Bovada the only option?

    Vegas just hit it big on Paolo with people pouring in money thinking he’s actually going #1…meanwhile, the smart ones threw their money towards Jabari this morning
