Kawhi is about to have a signature shoe likely to be dubbed: "The Yard of the Month Club 1s"

I was a little surprised when I read the news about KL signing a deal with New Balance. Some hilarious twitter posts about it.

Looking forward to watching the Warriors game tomorrow night!
No Steph and no Draymond for the Warriors for that game.

Even though the team has been slowly coming out of their funk with Steph and Draymond being out and Klay and KD shooting better the past few games, I'm not expecting much from them in Toronto. So try not to celebrate too much if the Raptors win :drink: :thumb:

It's too bad that those guys won't be playing. Would have been great to see how the Raptors do against a fully loaded GS team. Perhaps those guys will be back for the next meeting on 12/12.

Fakes, Dubs, and C's are all within a game or so of each other 1/4 of the way through. Clips and Denver up top. Magic and Heat on our heals...at the bottom of east. Kings at a solid .500 (goodbye pick)...this big break in Boston is a real opportunity for deep reflection and coaching decisions. Gulp

It was a good game...Nikola Jokić was too much for the Raptors to contain last night, way too many turnovers, missed shots.

76ers tomorrow night, should be another good one.

Why can't Kawhi Leonard just stick it out with the Spurs for one more year?? I don't know all that's happened with him, but he seems like too much trouble to bother with, not worth it.

Getting close to 2 months into the regular season I wonder if Artemis still feels this way

Oh, I'm definitely whistling a different tune since I made that comment. I will admit, my view was influenced by the negative, one-sided media coverage.

No complaints here- we are winning!KL seems to fit in well with all the guys, especially Kyle Lowry. Nick Nurse gives him a lot of freedom too. I'm enjoying what we have right now and not worrying about whether KL signs again next year.

Kawhi and Danny Green are both great players, hell I noticed the difference in the team the other night without them there in the locker room. It's just a different vibe. Pop is still Pop but Patty running that locker room and stepping up is just insane.

Ok, as refreshing as it was to see a record breaking margin of victory over the Bulls, I have to admit I was kinda rooting for them to close the gap at points. That was mercy fandom from me and it rarely happens. Twice clearing the floor by Boylen was a very public rip at the team :lol: …oh well, I am surprised Hoiberg lasted as long as he did.

I feel like the bulls are starting to get national attention for how dysfunctional they are. The second time pulling the starters last night was a bit drastic.
Boylen got what he deserved, It's only his third game but it will be interesting to see how the players react towards him the rest of the way.
Having the worst loss in franchise history isn't gonna help build anyones confidence. I don't think any fans believe in this front office anyway.
Rough season so far being a bulls fan. That golden state game earlier when Klay went off then the celtics last night.

We are losing since I made that comment - two in a row!

Still no complaints, teams have their ups and downs.

Tough roadtrip ahead- Clippers & Warriors on Tues & Wed, then Trail Blazers, Nuggets.
