    If I would've rocked those Matt Bonners to school back in the day I would've had to drop out.

    Martin's Air Wacks > Matt Bonner's new balances.
    Well, not quite but you get what I'm saying.

    Air Wacks >>> Some of the ? Payless and Kmart used to pass off as "basketball shoes".


    Me and my moms made an agreement when I was in elementary that if she couldn't afford name-brand just cop me some extra basic shoes that don't even attempt to look like name-brands.

    That was acceptable in my hood. But fake ass wannabe Jordans, Hurachi's, Pumps (or ? forbid the light-up ? ) you would be contemplating suicide within a week.

    Lol @ custom new balances

    What's wrong with that?

    I legit think New Balance is a shell company for a heizenberg type ? ring. It's a New Balance store here in Pasadena and I never see more than 2 crackas walking around in it (and those might be employees.) And I peep maybe one middle-age cracka a month walking around with some on that look like he bought'em in '94.

    Tim Duncan is a quiet leader too and all he has to show for it is 4 rangs. Kawhi is already one of the best wing defenders in the league in only his second year, he is one of the best rebounding SF's in the league and he contributed in the offense without Pop calling 1 play for him the entire year.

    The sky is is the limit for him.

    I like everything you posted and hope Kawhi keeps getting better but ATTS does have a point when it comes to the fact that after how well he played in the finals teams are going to start game plaining more for him. So this season with hopefully a bigger role on offense he continues to get better

    Go Spurs Go!

    Matt Bonner wears New Balance because they are made by an American and the company, along with the inventor is based out of Massachusetts and Bonner is from New Hampshire which is not to far from there. I guess he feels a sense of pride because of this fact.

    They stopped making the type of basketball shoe that he wears because they didn't sell well but he some how got in contact with the company and talked them into hooking him up with a pair if he wore them exclusively, which he does.

    I think Boston will start out better than people think tho.

    Over .500 after the first 15 or so games. Reality will set in later tho.

    Blake Griffin: “Lob City is done”

    Kurt Helin

    Blake Griffin AP

    Bringing in Doc Rivers as coach has brought a palpable change around the Clippers — they are expected to contend for a title. Rivers is his usual positive self, but he doesn’t shy away from title talk. Rather, he is challenging the Clippers to live up to it — he told Chris Paul that the best point guard in the game hasn’t done anything in the NBA yet.

    There is now a seriousness around the Clippers mission, a new team identity. It is time to put away childish things.

    Like all the lobs.

    Look at what Blake Griffin told ESPN about the team’s changing identity, as reported at ESPNLosAngeles.com.

    “Lob City doesn’t exist anymore. Lob City is done,” Griffin told ESPN’s Shelley Smith in an interview this week. “We’re moving on and we’re going to find our identity during training camp and that will be our new city. No more Lob City.”

    “Our offense is going to have a totally different look this year,” said Griffin, who added that he’d done a lot of work in the offseason on his face-up game from 10 to 15 feet. “Our offense is going to have a lot of movement and floor spacing. I’m looking forward to it.”

    The Clippers shouldn’t (and will not) completely abandon the back door cut and the lob (or the alley-oop in transition) — not because they want to put on a show, but rather because it leads to a dunk and that is the single most efficient shot in the game. Griffin doesn’t miss many when he is throwing it down through the rim, neither does DeAndre Jordan.

    That said, the Clippers have shooters who can space the floor better now with Jared Dudley and J.J. Redick. That creates room and options for CP3 to do his thing. There should be great ball movement. The Clipper offense is still going to be top three in the league, maybe No. 1.

    The question is really what kind of defensive culture can Rivers install. That is the end of the court that will make them real contenders.
