It might happen since you're actually Rob Hennigan.

Let's just say I'm very confident in this prediction ;)

You were the one who called all that stuff before it happened weren't you?

Woah Mauro is Henny!

Hawks signed Schroder to 4 year 70 million extension. Only him, CJ Mcollum and the Greek Freak have inked extensions from the 2013 draft

So what's everyone's prediction for the season record? I'll go with 40-42.

here's something that's kinda weird. Ibaka always sucks in opening games

he's also pretty bad in game 2. but he's significantly better in game 3.

what does this say about Ibaka? does he not work out sufficiently in the offseason and needs to play himself into game shape? is it a mental thing where he needs to ease himself into the season instead of going 100% initially? Weird pattern for a veteran.

Myles Turner - should've drafted this guy.

 

Payton

Fournier

Gordon/Harris

Ibaka/

Turner/Vucevic

 

w/ $17M (BB's salary) to spend this past summer on bench

this is interesting. Hopefully his bit-better game 2 will help us avoiding going 0-2.
