    I kind of forgot about that. Think about the situation he could be in if he stayed with the Spurs.

    What’s to feel sorry about? If they got rid of PG, he’d prob throw a party. PG was not who Kawhi thought he’d be.

    Congrats to @THE HCP as his Lakers will tie the Celts for most NBA titles.

    Elephant in the room time. If the Heat get curb-stomped in this series will Butler force his way out?

    No. Injury excuse. Plus, he seems to love these guys that he's playing with. They all seem to share the same mentality of WANTING to win unlike Butler's previous stints with the Sixers and T-Wolves.

    Butlers a hard ass. He might be the only guy who would prefer every season was played in a bubble. He don’t give a fuck about anything but ball. And you can tell he respects his Heat teammates..I’d think twice about trading for KAT, Simmons or Embiid. Jimmy wanted out once he saw they don’t want it as bad as he does

    Edit: maybe we should just draft the best player out of Marquette in the draft..Butler, D-Wade, Wes, Crowder..something about that school puts out hard mother fuckers who play above their expectations.

    That's why they pay you the big bucks to be Global Moderator. You earned your green sergeant stripe, so sit back and take it easy.

    Or be like me. I'll soon try to watch my first game since the Blazers folded.

    No Bam. The Heat were already going to struggle and I didn't think they'd win the game but now it looks really bleak for them. Before everyone starts talking about the Lakers getting lucky with injuries lets just not. No player or team is ever completely healthy and the Lakers were absolutely romping Miami last game before anyone was banged up. On a different but related note we might have a Meyers sighting tonight.
