Listen.  If you see the mo-minimum going the wrong way, go 'head and take one for the team.

And by 'take one' I mean sprint across the court to stop play.  Topless?  Bottomless?  Hey, I'll let you make that decision, bawse. 

[RedDawg#8]

Y’all, we won. Im taking full credit lol

Notice Giannis sitting out vs OKC.  Getting geared up for our game.  Game recognize game, bois.

Gonna be a good one.  I say we hand them their first L.

Can we finally get hot from three? We are so due.

We're definitely due.  I'm rooting for 'decent' at this point.

Play AJ instead of JHol, hopefully after his BIG 3 last night Collins gets back on track, he was 1-19 from 3 in last 6, DJ only take CnS 3s....and Trae is always the wild card, hot or cold from 3.

We'd better have an answer for Brook Lopez from 3.

Hopefully we get the same effort, intensity and communication on defense for this game.

Just like with the random 6-pt possession the PeliCan'ts got last night, I don't expect Lopez to go 7-7 from 3 again.  Just contest and we'll be ok, I think.

True, he was wide open taking practice 3s.

Is this the photo of the year so far or.. maybe one of the Baptist throw downs. In any event, Jalen really showed out last night. That baseline drive had me jump outta my seat. Took it strong with 2 hands and secured it and his landing the whole way.. and the the beautiful homage to Nique with the windmill throw down on the break. 
 

PROVE ME WRONG JJ!!!!! I love it! 
 

ps Anyone know if JJ has a post game? We always seeing him face up. He looks like the type to be able to get one and have it work for him, then again his beats folks off the face up so …

I think we should try guarding him for a change of pace.

I don't think he has a back to the basket game as yet.

I boycotted the conference finals last year because I thought all the teams overachieved and it was one of the weakest conference finals the NBA had seen in its existence….

And here are those bummy teams this year. (Now is when I wish I had that FakeGM account; I’d post this on Texaschick’s personal FakeGM wall 

Listen,

F*ck the Heat…

F*ck the Schmelts…

F*ck the Scrubs

and if you wanna be down with Whooka and the mAVS, then you know the rest.

The scariest team in this league is Milwaukee.  They have been beating the brakes off of everybody and they haven't even played Middleton yet.   The other day, they sat Giannis and still won by... 20??  or something...  They have good bigs and good guards.   I'm glad that we're catching them early.   We can fight with them and try to take advantage of their thinness in the backcourt.  I don't know what Boston did in the playoffs.. maybe it was the dirty play of Al "Tito's son" Horford that helped them.   But this year, these dudes will be a problem.

Yep.  Missing Middleton and Connaughton.  Did someone suggest before the season that we had a better bench?  smh.   Team to beat for sure.

If we win tonight do we get their title, "Scariest team" ?

Let's do it!  We need the win and they need to lose their 1st one!
