Agree Trump has gone way too far with this but its putting some players in an awkward situation. You're almost forcing them to choose a side. Its getting to the point where standing for the anthem is frowned upon by some and you dont support "the movement". Thats a scary situation.
The reason Im standing might not be the same reason your kneeling

What's even more disgusting is that Dumb@$$ refers to these people who choose to make a statement as "sons of bitches" but does not even go to that language against the deplorables in Charlottesville.

Question is when will Wade sign with the Cavs. Def not coming back here. We've already committed to Waiters starting at the 2 and Dragic at PG. Wade legit should start in Cleveland.

Wade can still give a good 20 min a game. I think he is critical to teach Rose how to play with Lebron. Wade use to have a high usage rate, has ball in his hands, and wasn't the best shooter, when Lebron came to Miami first. I think Wade's wisdom will help Rose adjust to Lebron, before IT gets back. Need CLE to kick Boston's ass. Then of course CLE will get raped by Warriors.
At least HOU/OKC can bloody the GSW a little bit.

West will be fun to watch to see where everyone else seeds out. It's crazy that a team with Boogie, Anthony Davis, and Jrue Holiday or Karl Towns, Jimmy Butler, and Andrew Wiggins might not make the playoffs.

Kyrie irving putting gas in his diesel jeep:
"He smiles even after putting unleaded gas into the new diesel-craving engine of his beloved Jeep that broke down on his way to his first Celtics practice."
"I had no idea that my engine got changed. So I put regular gas in the Jeep and it stalled out," Irving said Thursday night as he joined Gordon Hayward and rookie Jayson Tatum to help the Celtics showcase their new Nike jerseys at a Boston restaurant.

West will be fun. Bloodbath between OKC and Hou. Then GSW to finals anyways.
CLE to finals.
Repeat of last year. Hope Rose and Wade remains healthy and productive, and Tristan wins 6 man of the year. At least a competitive finals will be fun. GSW will probably take the ring again.
