Because it's tradition. So Boris Diaw is vacationing in the Pyrenees as training camp starts (excused), and Popovich made some cracks during media day that he was gonna come back fat, at least at 275. Word got back to Diaw and he responded on Instagram with "only 1 glass a day and daily workouts" and this tremendous pic. It's like U Mad Bro and The Most Interesting Man in the World had a baby.

He needs to re-learn that because he has all the other tools to be a pretty good PG. Can't be shooting 50% from the FT line or 30% outside the paint if you wanna play good minutes.

I just don't get it either. Their defense was so good last year and now its just horrible. They really need to get help on the perimeter too. They have no serious outside shooting threats at SF and SG and you're not gonna win very many games without shooters. Plus Stephenson has been pretty s**tty since he got there.

Yea, he has been atrocious so far this year...still early though. Takes time to adjust to a new team.

The guy talks smack but can't back it up...so I never thought very highly of him to begin with. But, he'll play better than he has shown so far. He is not total garbage.

Glad to see Durant and Westbrook back! Fully expect OKC to make a run. I want to see them get a shot at Spurs in 1st round of the playoffs.

...and Warriors with the best record in the NBA

Good for them! They're always fun to watch.

Cavs are playing better...but still got long ways to do. Really impressed with Bucks. I want them to trade Henson to Cavs for Waiters. He doesn't get to play and they need a SG and Cavs need some shot blocking help off the bench.

Henson for Waiters would be a great trade for both teams. Its honestly just a matter of time before Waiters becomes a cancer especially if he keeps getting less than 10 mpg like last night, so you might as well get rid of him for a young defensive minded center. Is Henson gonna be back soon? I haven't been keeping up lately.

Last I read - he should be back in 10-15 days.

Waiters is so good at attacking the basket...I don't understand why he settles for bad jump shots. Then again...when he attacks the basket - he has no intention of passing the rock - so defenders converge and force him into tough shots in the paint. lol dude keeps making same mistakes. So frustrating.

Sad thing is - he is not interested in playing defense either. Kyrie looks so much better on defense. Love - limited by his athleticism - is doing what he can and is playing better on defense as well. Unless something changes in the next month or so - Waiters should get traded and it'll be best for him too.

I'd love to get Henson or Afflalo from Denver. Afflalo is a good perimeter defender and an excellent 3pt shooter and more importantly - he's a smart player. Knows his strength and weaknesses.
