    Right just like the Heat and then the Lakers were supposed to win 74 games. You overreact. Suns have a nice backcourt and a decent center. They'll win more than 9 games.

    KingSpeed saying I overreact is like Hitler saying somebody is insensitive to other cultures and races.

    Suns will be one of the worst 3 teams in the league son.

    I agree with you there. I just don't think they will be one of the worst 3 teams ever.....unless their backcourt goes down. Then all bets are off.

    But even if, who are there backups? They have Dragic and Bledsoe and than NOTHING! We saw how good things went for us without backups last season. 2 fouls on one of those guys early and it's over!

    No I hear you. Their SG depth is pretty bad. But the rest of the team is too "average" to challenge for the worst record ever.

    I remember YEARS ago, my older brother and I went to a Blazer game. He was in high school...so it must've been..89-91ish? Anyways, we were going in his car (I wasn't old enough to drive obviously). His car was a 79 Toyota Celica. As we were leaving the 'hood, on our way up to the game (leaving in PLENTY of time) all the sudden his car started acting funky. I don't exactly remember what the deal was, but it wouldn't go very fast. So we limped back home, borrowed our mothers car, and drove to the game.

    Figuring the 45 minutes we were behind was going to cause us to miss a large chunk of the game (+ the drive to the game), we were kind of bummed. But, being that my brother wasn't one for listening to the pre-game show, we had no idea the game was being delayed because of water on the court. So we showed up, and noticed the crowd was milling around/not really loud and then we noticed the game had been delayed like about 30 minutes or so...and promptly started up about the time we finally got to the seats.

    It's only preseason. By the time the regular season starts, there will have been enough beer spilled on that floor to make it much more sticky. By the time the playoffs roll around, it will have the best traction of any floor in the league.

    I remember watching a Golden State game in Oakland around 2001. The quarter buzzer went off at the end of the first quarter, and wouldn't turn off for 12 minutes. It was like Dumb and Dumber's most annoying sound in the world, only after a while it was so hilariously sad sack that the few fans there started getting a little hysterical. I looked at the next guy over (he was about 25 feet away because attendance was so shitty) and yelled, "WARRIORS GAMES ALWAYS LIKE THIS?!?!" He just laughed and shrugged a little, like whatayagonndo. Jason Richardson was playing that night and shit the bed with his shot jacking. They lost at home to a bad Phoenix team, I think. It was painful. That fan knew he was paying good money for a ridiculously bad product, but he was a fan and that's what fans do sometimes.

    I love watching Curry get on fire, just because I imagine that fan still sitting there in the cheap seats, and that poor bastard deserves it.

    Look at me--the Blazer fan feeling sorry for another team. lol

    Milwaukee should trade for Meyers and ask him to wax the floors every night, Mr. Miyagi style.

    Cool looking floor though.

    No, he couldn't. IIRC, the waxing motion that Mr Miyagi taught Danielsan was a defensive move

    Prediction: the Cavs' taking Bennett over Oladipo because they had Waiters will turn out as well as us not taking Chris Paul because we had Telfair.

    Passing on Adams is already making me nervous. His natural feel and size, he's everything that Leonard is not ....already.
