People might forget that Giannis had an identical twin brother who washed out of the league quick, so even with identical physical stats and DNA the odds are still 50/50 for a bust...

Thannasis is his older brother. But apparently he has another bro that's 15?

In those situations i pvr and try to avoid the score. Doesn't always work. If I hear the score and we lost I don't watch. If we won I do. If i didn't hear the score it's bliss. And you fast forward the commercials and leo rautins astute Pre and mid game analysis

I love how they're developing this guys character. Rarely speaks, but when he does it's powerful. Captain serious. Could become a fan favorite. OG 4 Life

My first thought is they are now paying Lowry too much to bring in another high value contract. But that's not true although I did read they had to work hard to stay under the salary cap.
Lowry 29M
DeRozan 28M
Ibaka 20M
JV 15M
CJ Miles 8M (basically swapped for Tucker)
and then a huge massive giant drop to a bunch of rookies making under 3M and most under 2M
Total team salaries:
Cleveland 137M
GSW 133M Any surprise the top 2 teams have the top team salaries?
OKC 131M
Miami(!) 126M
Washington 124M
Milwaukee 122M
Portland 121M
Toronto 120M
Houston 116M
San Antonio, Clippers, Detroit 115M
So a whole lot of teams only spending 10-15M less than Cleveland/GSW ....

Just wait until Draymond and Klay want 30 million plus...Joe Lacob better hope there's no tech crash in silicon valley because that team is going to so far into the tax that MLSE will be noticing they gettin PAID by the Warriors...

Don't worry tho ticket prices will not drop for your average Joe, we will get gouged and all will be right with the world

OKC is the biggest surprise.. they have the same ownership that traded Harden away in his prime since they didn't want to pay tax then. If OKC stumbles out of the gate, I wouldn't be surprised if they traded George or Melo to someone else. Now that RW locked himself in, they won't have to worry about him resigning.

Raptors are -13.0 for this game.. never seen a spread that big before for the Raptors. Essentially Vegas is guessing it will be a blow out.

I want a 50 point win.

So you'd be pissed off if they won by 51?
