    On account of how early this game is, we shall call this the "Breakfast Game."

    Or the "Super Bowl Game" because it is being played on Super Bowl Sunday.

    Or the "Super Breakfast Bowl Game!"

    Your football hate comments are more predictable than HCPs picture comments.

    Baynes (just like all the Aussies) always takes a step back, and plays the team game in the NBA. He (they) sacrifices his (their) game(s) for the good of the team. I've seen Baynes best both Jokic, and Valanciunas in FIBA. I'm really looking forward to the Nurkic - Baynes matchup. At worst, Baynes is 6 fouls they can throw at us to keep Horford on the court.

    Whatever happens Sunday, won't be watching the Super Bowl. The NFL rejected a simple Veterans ad but will allow so much other nonsense. After years of watching 2-3 games on Sunday and one on Monday night, no more.

    Yep, great memory. Went at Barkley in a 1996 Olympics warm-up game, then played a few games for Minny.





    He went on to play in Europe, and Australia, and is currently a commentator for the Australian National Basketball League.

    He's a dickhead though. Never met a mirror he didn't like.

    I’m the complete opposite. Haven’t watched a game since probably 2000......EXCEPT 4 or 5 SuperBowls. Don’t know why, just enjoy college so much more.
