Esoteric. Nice.

Yeah? Then why am I masturbating and trying to get the layering right in photoshop, smartass?

Gilbert gave every owner a blueprint of how not to act. Good on Presti to actually listen

SuperSonics:Seattle::Durant:OKC

I am going to refer to meaningless outrage as “The Banana Stand” for the rest of my life.

Agree...I love the “this is the team that drafted him” argument...you mean the team that paid him peanuts on an indentured contract he had no choice to sign? Like he’d have gone to fucking OKC if he’d been a free agent after leaving college.
