So, if (when) LeChoke doesn't win it all this year, that should cement his legacy as one of the biggest losers in sports history.

He has EIGHT all stars on that team. 8. Never been done before, probably won't be done again.

They're doing their best to live very serious lives and they just happen to fall down sometimes. I think that's neat.

I generally trust the Spurs office to make good decisions on stuff like this, but I don't really get it either. What was the rush?

He had a good preseason, but... who cares?

Boston can probably handle losing Hayward if Tatum's legit. they're deep enough to still be good.

not a finals contender though

They traded a lot of that depth for Kyrie Irving.

needing lebron to play 40 to maybe beat the hayward-less celtics isn't a great look for opening night, but it's just one game i guess. i'm not gonna bet against him making the finals until it happens but i don't think i believe in rose/wade at all at this point
