    Not much of a basketball fan but I always like the way the Spurs do things. They get players from all over the world rather than just getting Americans like most of the other teams. They are definitely the most cosmopolitan team in American sports!
    Warriors have done it through the years!!!! Festus Ezeli (Nigeria), Ognjen Kuzmic (Yugoslavia), Marco Belinelli (Italy),
    Stepane Lasme (Gabon), Kosta Perovic, (Yugoslavia), Andris Beidrins (Latvia) and that's just from recent history.

    I think Spurs just come to mind cause they've been successful with their international picks. A lot of times International picks don't pan out either because they aren't good enough or they just never come over.

    And to the dismay of many KD resigns with GSW. And even making less than last year to help keep the team intact. He'll get his max deal in 2019. Dynasty ready to happen.

    Lol, now we got Nick Young. And if Javale resigns, then I can see some funny pranks going on during the season.

    I was raised a Celtics fan, but as a child my mom made us read biographies over summer break. I read one on David Robinson and have been a Spurs fan ever since. #admiralofdefense

    Damn, lost in the last few seconds last night! But hey, it's a long season and they lost their opening game last year too.

    Loss. I hate back to back road games. At least the DUBS will have a good home game stand.

    ^ugh. It's ok though because how bout them Cowboys? ;)

    Mavs fan here, MFFL! We are rebuilding (kind of?) so it's been tough but that's my team! Enjoying watching Dirk play out his last year or two.

    Lol, how about Chris Washburn? Man, that draft pick hurt. And I was upset with the trade of Richmond for Owens. Screwed up RUN TMC.

    I remember Run TMC well but not Washburn but i'm sure between the two of us we can name plenty of mistakes we both remember. Penny, Todd Fuller, Gilbert Arenas (not their fault), Corey Maggette, etc... I'm also a huge niner fan too. Had season tix during the Alex Smith era...

    Crazy game. Warriors are playing sloppy, but still finding a way to win with talent.

    The NBA sucks! They are all self centered *kitten*. College basketball is much more fun to watch and is more of a team sport. Half the time NBA players are walking the court, I hate seeing millions of dollars wasted on someone giving 50%

    The butthurt smells very strong.

    It's not butthurt its my opinion. I used love watching the NBA back in the day with Jordan, Magic and all of the legends. The league has changed a lot and its not entertaining to watch.

    College basketball on the other hand is very entertaining. While not all of the players have the skill to make it to the NBA those kids are out there giving 110% every night. That's entertaining.

    ???????? Not entertaining? huh? Long time Warrior fan -- and we are as entertaining as it gets:) Baron, Jason Richardson, Monte, Curry-- the fun goes on and on and on....:)

    Yep. And the Warriors RUN the court on offense and defense. It's why they are good on the fast break and when teams try fast breaking on them, they respond really well.
    The game has changed because now it's more of a shooter's league and EVERYONE has to play good defense, not just your big man.
