I just want an NBA team in Seattle so that people will stop saying that OKC won a title in 1979. That's our fucking title!!

Luckily for him, his bank account has aged at least a decade as well. Set for life.

Along those same lines - the San Antonio Spurs have now lost 17 consecutive games since sweeping back-to-back games in Phoenix early in the season.
I plan to stay pissed off about this fact all season long.

Mo Dakhil should have used the Suns to illustrate his point in his Athletic article on "prevent offense." There is plenty of material to choose from. In my opinion, that has been a major cause of the Suns 4th quarter woes. Running the shot clock down only to get into an isolation mid-range shot that is easy to defend has not been working. I really would like to see more diversity in the offense and ball movement in end game situations.

You would think with the highest paid offensive assistant we'd have better schemes.

I'll give them a pass for the moment, given that the Big <=3 haven't played. (I've long waited for a reason to use a penis emoticon... thanks for that Mori).

Credit where due, it was Mori that came up with the terminology but Cap that first, uh, pointed out the double entendre.
Me, I just think of it as that one part from the movie “Se7en”.

Right up to the point where the Phoenix Suns organization threatens to shut you down, am I right?

Dante Exum, who washed out of the NBA in part because he couldn't shoot, has now hit 7 3s in a game before Devin Booker.
(It was a savvy signing by the Mavs)

That is a championship team? Doesn’t even bother to foul down late in the game? Why even show up?

If you take the penis emoticon and add lines above and below, is it a frank johnson?
