’Cause we’re already standing on the ground.

I don't know about you, but I'm not feeling too peaceful or easy.

Let go of your expectations and you can’t be disappointed. That’s where the peaceful easy feeling comes from.

Reimagine that they are on their way to Cancun and then the video makes a lot more sense.

Duane Rankin just went down a notch in reputation just by tweeting (X-ing? What's it called now) what those two idiots think.

What if he did it for motivation?

[Carno]

Who's he motivating? If the players require this to motivate them, then they've already lost!

I like Ant and I hope he does become a superstar, but he’s one of the most overhyped players in the game right now. He’s still only 22 and will certainly get better, but he’s talked about like an mvp candidate and MJ clone…I think it’s mostly the aesthetics…his game looks like MJ or Kobe…he’s still not very efficient though and isn’t a great playmaker yet.

Still behind SGA and Book for me as a 2-guard…though if he plays every game like he did game 1, that is changing. At least the Book ranking…he’s still a ways behind SGA

It is interesting to me how quickly the national media pundits seem to forget about Booker or toss him aside when any other 2-guard in the league has a few good games or a good month. Maybe it's because Book isn't demonstrative, plays with control and caution, rather than screaming and flailing about like some other guys do. Or maybe it's because he doesn't have jump-out-of-the-gym athleticism. But IMO Ant has a ways to go before he can be called better than Booker.

When he’s unhappy with the refs, he’s very demonstrative.

I do think the aesthetics are a big part. Ant just looks the part. He was also a the 1st overall pick. Book had to earn his status…Ant has the benefit of people being transfixed by his potential.

It’ll be interesting to see how the SGA vs Ant debate develops. SGA should be well ahead of him right now.
