    I will add to what Slaythe said by asking who you wanted besides Pau that makes this team immediately much better? I wanted Mike Miller but I think Morrow is near his level and will open up the court just as well. Beyond that I feel like the best way for this team to get better is for the young...

    The Strain

    Currently watching: The Bridge, The Leftovers, Graceland (wife loves it), Royal Pains, Six Feet Under (for the first time) I read the book and heard good reviews about this show. I watched it with my wife and found it to be more cheesy than all of the other shows I currently watch save Royal...

    The only one of those 3 that matters was Fisher, and he didn't leave for another team. I like that this pretty much forces Brooks to play a ton of Lamb and Adams early and often.

    It's a good jab, but Mark Cuban's team will be better than his this year and they have a recent title. I'm no Mavs fan, but they have the scoreboard on the Rockets at this point.

    We're just all wasting time watching the Thunder until Sooners start playing football again.... Just kidding, I was an NBA fan way before I even knew what college football was. I had a Michael Finley rookie Suns jersey for fuck's sake.

    It is fun for me, an Oklahoma transplant living in Houston, to listen to the sports talk shows and thier predictions on what happens now. They were all bitching and complaining about how bad Jeremy Lin sucked and how awful his contract is (I agree, it was awful); however, he was a servicable...

    I'm just happy we signed an aggressive 3 point shooter who isn't afraid to take a shot in crunch time. I bet I like him way more than Thabo (especially the Thabo that couldn't play D). Now I'm just crossing my fingers that they either don't sign Caron Butler back or someone kick's Scott Brooks...

    Yea, and Steven Adams looks like a solid contributor. I just don't understand how they haven't used the MLE on a pure shooter. Mind bottling.

    Fucking LOL. In all seriousness, what teams are actually getting better next year besides the Cavs? The Heat will be worse, looking like Houston will be the same or worse, my Thunder are going to be the same unless they use the Kevin Martin MLE that expires a 11PM tonight.

    I am one of those people that says PG-13 instead of R really kills movies; but in this case I don't necessarily think it would hurt. It's been a few years since I read the original story but I don't remember it having much on screen gore or scenes of the old ones moving around. Everything...

    Don't leave it to chance; no matter what anyone tells you, take the time to call your mortgage provider to talk to a human that can confirm that your LTV is under 80% and also confirm that your payments going forward will not show PMI.

    Thabo played like dogshit most of last season and was benched in the playoffs. I wanted Mike Miller last year, but Presti passed and we had to watch throw down daggers on us when we played Memphis in the playoffs. If the Thunder picked up Pau then he would share the court with Ibaka for more...

    My first time in a Wataburger in Texas I asked an employee what her favorite sandwich was. She told me to get the BBQ Chicken Tender sandwich because "it is like heaven on a bun." I ordered it. She was not wrong.

    Yep, but our coach lets those guys do whatever they want, and they love him for it. Our ownership is new blood in the NBA so they won't put pressure on Presti to replace him because our superstars love him and he "leads" them deep into the playoffs.
