    Kanter would be a superstar in Europe. With a minute left he made a great move to score, then in the last seconds he made his free throws. I watched on First Row (Brent Barry's doing post-game analysis right now). OKC wins by 3 but it was closer. Father Sabonis was in the stands to watch Sonny. Claver is the opposite of Meyers Leonard--knows how to play but can't shoot.

    Kanter will probably have a career season without the "give the ball to Kevin" play they relied on for so long

    The WNBA switched this year to having the top teams regardless of conference be the ones that make the playoffs and apparently this was popular, so maybe things will change in the NBA too.

    I came into this thread thinking this would be a post about how Claver went 9/12 (4/6 from three) and scored 25 points against the Thunder.

    Dissapointed.

    I would still take back ZBO. He would be an awesome veteran scorer.

    and let's face it - a certainly portion of the Portland population is underrepresented at Blazer games. ZBo, could fix that :)

    ZBO will retire with the grizz and be the first number retired in franchise history.

    Early list of fun teams to watch from what I've seen so far...

    Blazers, Celtics, Nuggets, Warriors

    Love teams that play with pace and share the ball
