2018 Around the NBA - November

Interesting. I wonder if they’ll play better without him.

Im thinking they will for sure.

Russ might be out for a while after this

I believe he will be out for the rest of the week. But who knows.

Hey.....buddy.....why don't you have a seat so we can chat. Welcome to the Sly animal group.

*Licks lips*

I don't want to eat you. We are friends. Don't mind me while I take a bite out of your wings.

Well, kind sir or madam, thanks for the invite! I'm not sure how you can take a bite out of my wings, since I'm up in the sky.


Down with Dogs, up with Owls!

My kids and I watch the Grumpy Cat movie every Christmas (3 years running). One of my favorite new holiday traditions.

If you put us together, we form an even bigger poster. Like Voltron.

I feel like perhaps I need to change my name to SlyPokerPlatypus...

Then again, I feel like I absolutely must NOT change. #Resist

You are really asking this question? Westbrook and Harden could sit out the next two months and still make the team.

I don’t think so. Harden didn’t even make All NBA a couple years ago when the Rockets underachieved. West is so deep. Westbrook never gets fan vote. Coaches won’t pick a guy who has been injured for 2 months. And coaches are obsessed with team success when it comes to All Star reserves. You admit Jokic, LeBron, and DeRozen make it, right? Well then, Towns, Cousins, and Butler are out. If the Kings somehow stay relevant and Thunder are below average, Fox could take RW’s spot. And what about Donovan Mitchell? Is HE an All Star? There can only be 12. Somebody has to miss out.

There is nothing sly about a platypus.

My uncle, he was wise, told me "son, don't be a follower."

Beg to differ. An egg-laying, nippleless nursing mammal with a duck bill and venomous spurs on their feet sounds pretty darned cunning to me.

Those get eaten.

That thing needs to make up its mind.

Talk about an identity crisis...

And you followed that advice?

He's lucky we're both apex predators...

Westbrook is a seven-time NBA All-Star, and a two-time NBA All-Star Game Most Valuable Player. He will be on the All Star team.
Harden is last years scoring champ, He was an assist champ in 2017, 2011-12 sixth man, 5 time all NBA, And the reigning MVP plus a six time All Star. He will be on the All Star team.
As for Cousins??? Can't argue but he will be playing on a winning team. However they will have at least 4 All Stars already. So 5 might be pushing it. LeBron will definitely be on there. Derozen will have to beat Dame as will Mitchell. Do you really think they are gonna stand up Dame again? Fox ain't gonna make it. No way before Dame. Yes i agree Towns and Butler should be out.

I was offered mice and was given a barn to sleep in.

I though owls were wise not sly?

We can be both.

We can be both.

That owl kind of looks like the group from north of the wall.

North of the wall? Is that some kind of Canadian joke?

Ah...I don't get the reference.

Blazers should have a Memorial-Coliseum inspired jersey, silver in color, and covered with cellophane squares meant to evoke fond memory of the "glass palace". I mean, they'd be hideous, but since they're a nod to the old building, they'd be great.

Right?

Actually, that would be kind of cool.
