This is Phil Ford in the Dunking on Oxford blog and I’m talking to whoever’s listening out there. The NBA season is just two weeks away, and a lot has happened since last season ended just two months ago. Who better to convey where each team stands before the season kicks off than our lord and savior Kurt Russell? So take my advice on a dark and stormy offseason when the trades are crashing and free agency is rolling and the terrible signings are coming down in sheets thick as lead. Just remember what I said when the season starts and the poison takes fall from the Twitter, and the pillars of basketball shake. I look that internet troll right square in the eye and I say “give me your best shot pal, I can take it.”
