"cole said to be at 5% body fat"

I know its annoying to keep harping on this but goddamn why does the NBA make such ridiculous body fat claims?

This Heat lineup is a travesty. David Blatt looks like Henchman #2 from every Liam Neeson movie ever.

The scariest part of the Cavs is that rebounding. They don't even have to care about making their shots, they'll just collect all the boards.

Yeah, between Love, healthy Varejao, and Tristan the Cavs are going to do a lot of limiting teams to one shot and getting extra opportunities. If they go deep this year, I think it'll depend on how much of an edge that rebounding turns into.

Future MVP James Ennis was WIDE OPEN. He would have hit that and got the foul.

You knew Shabazz was taking that shot again when the rebound got back to him. Pretty entertaining game imo. A+ would preseason again.

"My butt smells like vanilla ice cream"
Little late for this but Dion Waiters is a guy who can be on a 2-on-0 fast break with a guy who grew up two hours away making probably his only professional appearance in his home country and decide, "I'm gonna take this myself."

The NBA is pretty fun when the Lakers suck.

This Warriors team is going to be nasty. 2 seed now that KD is on the mend for a month+?

If Blazers/Clippers were a regular season game we'd have a new record in total 3 point shots made between two teams at 33.

They probably just look really good against the Lakers. West is still stacked. Will probably have fight for somewhere in the top 4.

When I was 17, my father was so stupid, I didn't want to be seen with him in public. When I was 24, I was amazed at how much the old man had learned in just 7 years.

You pretending the Lakers are the Heats rival is even sadder now that the Heat are in their current state.

Wut? I literally have no idea what this means. I don't think the Lakers are the Heat's rivals. I've never felt anything for the Lakers other than enjoying the Shaq years and hating Kobe.

Oh. And I enjoyed Wade and LeBron alley oop dunking all over them. But that's it. I just think that is is amusing that the Lakers representation on twitter refuses to accept that they aren't any good.

Someone hating the Lakers doesn't mean they visualize the Lakers as their rival.

Like, I love it when the Lakers suck because gently caress the Lakers but that doesn't mean I think the loving Lakers and Pelicans are rivals.
