Jrue Holiday forgot he was a Pelican last night. When he addressed the crowd before the game he gave a shout to the Sixers fans. LOL.
Did you see that clip of Monty Williams' pre game speech? Pretty entertaining.
"This is the first game of the season. It's a long road, but every game matters. Every play matters. Every loose ball matters. This is your chance to go out and show me: are you a Pelican? Or are you a Pelican't?!"
Prepare to put mustard on those words, for you will soon be consuming them, along with this slice of humble pie that comes direct from the oven of shame set at gas mark “egg on your face”! -- Moss
There's three rules that I live by: never get less than twelve hours sleep; never play cards with a guy who's got the same first name as a city; and never go near a lady's got a tattoo of a dagger on her body. Now you stick to that, everything else is cream cheese. --Coach Finstock
Most overrated Western Conference team: Golden State Warriors
ESPN's #NBArank project this preseason helped showcase the irrational exuberance that developed around the Warriors in the wake of their playoff run. Six Warriors rated among the panel's top 76 players, including three who had below-average PERs in 2012-13: Andrew Bogut (13.8), Klay Thompson (12.7) and Harrison Barnes (11.0). In the playoffs, Bogut (16.1) and Barnes (13.8) were far better, which is sort of the point.
Elite defense makes Bogut an above-average center when healthy (a major caveat, as noted in last week's extension analysis), and Thompson (who scored a career-high 38 points in last night's encouraging blowout over the Los Angeles Lakers) and Barnes also are good defenders, but all three of them seem to be benefiting from a playoff halo effect, as is the team as a whole. Assuming the 82-game sample of the regular season is more telling leads to a more pessimistic analysis of Golden State -- maybe not quite as dire as SCHOENE's 42-40 projection, but more conservative than the conventional wisdom that the Warriors are a championship threat.
Been saying this team was overrated for a while now, but we'll see how it plays out. Obviously they'll be better than 42-40, but I don't think they've improved their position on the West by much at all.
So Russell...what do you love about music? To begin with, everything.

That is awesome. I need to find that.
I bet he has been waiting all offseason to drop that line.

The warriors are one Curry ankle injury away from being lottery bound.
