I’d posit that the definition of “right” with the Spurs is based on the actual merits of basketball success - ball movement, spacing, unselfishness, etc. whereas the Cards definition is based more in moral piousness.

Because we hear about them playing the “right” way mostly from people who aren’t either Spurs or Spurs fans.

Nope, team left the town where I grew up, sorry man it’s over. No hard feelings to them, and to be fair much of my dearth of fucks to give comes from the evolution of the NFL itself into the Death Star of sports. But I don’t root for pro sports teams from LA.

There’s some nightmare fuel for ya.

Key distinction:

except Cousins loved the coach he had at the beginning of the last season until the FO decided to fire him with Cousins got sick.

I think it was back in 2008 or so when the Tampa Bay Rays made it to the world series. That has to be close, no? They didn’t actually win it...but LEI hasn’t won yet either.

That's all I can think of, on the spot.

I think the story will be based much more closely on The Infinity Gauntlet; they’re just usung the name Infinity War for it (though I could easily see them borrowing something from it, with the dopplegangers being the most likely option).

Swept? That would mean GS wins 2 consecutive games in San Antonio... I highly doubt that. It’ll almost certainly be a 6 or 7 game series.

This may be the best Spurs team I’ve seen, even better than the revenge-driven world-beaters that decimated the Miami nWo a few years ago.

At this point, 3 games of semi-rest aren’t going to make a huge difference, I wouldn’t think. Get the record, sweep your first round series, then catch up on your Zzzz’s.

Swamp Dragons is an infinitely better team name than Nets. “Hey, we’re a bunch of inanimate pieces of cloth that slow the ball down so it doesn’t hit your head after someone makes a shot.”

The reason the change didn’t go through is fantastic. Go ahead, click on the link.

I didn’t say anything about Hinkie’s motivation for drafting Okafor. I was answering the commenter’s question about the possibility of Okafor modeling his development after LMA.

No. Noel doesn’t have the range to pull a defender away from Okafor when he’s cooking in the post; Okafor doesn’t have the range to pull a defender away from the rim when Okafor’s the roll man in a screen-and-roll. And Okafor’s so bad on defense that he negates Noel’s work; lineups with both of them on the court at…

Right Porzingis’ agent didn’t even do a workout in Philly because of this very reason, so once your process obstructs the only assets you are looking to acquire, you have failed.

Don’t forget his alienating players so hard agents wouldn’t even take his phone call. He couldn’t evaluate talent, and had no social skills. Two big needs of a gm.

I didn’t before, but I now dislike the Pirates.
