It's gonna be amazing. Best arc from the graphic novel incoming! That trailer was so good it gave me chills. Hoping they're gonna have another one for us between now and October.
Everybody looks like a fucking baus now, even that shitty little kid, Carl.
Hershel looks clutch as fuck.
Hell yeah. It looks like a lot of time passed or something. I love that they're making the appearances of all the characters as similar as possible to their graphic novel counterparts.
I'm still laughing about how T-Dog continues not to get any love. lol

Before some shit slips, let's conclude this conversation...
GET HYPE
I stopped at Issue #90. Need to pick up Volume 16.
yessir
And I just realized what Jimmer needs. He needs a Jeremy Lin type emergence moment. Like where he just says "fuck everything" and just plays.
Yeah, I'll go with that.

Barnes and MKG looked good, Klay is looking more and more legit.
Goudelock looked meh
Morris looked meh
Darius Earvin Magic Johnson-Lamar Odom was meh but looks like he could become a decent role player.
MKG looked good? Great to hear that the Bobcats drafted well. Shame about Lock, but hopefully, the Lakers won't need him much this year.
Thanks for the help.

Sessions and Ariza could trade agent confidence stories.
Good grief.
PROTIP: Never play a game of chicken with the Lakers. Shit never works out.

Jimmer saying just fuck it and doing his thing means jacking up 30 shots a game on a team featuring Cousins and Tyreke.
He's not ready to die yet. Hell, he just got his first wife.

i like my women ravaged and and handcuffed. sue me.
odds are nash is staying in LA after his 3yr contract.
this guy is way too funny not to be picked up by a network studio.
Did you guys catch Kemba Walker saying that still counted as a meaningful win? Does he realize that they played 80% of their starting 5, against one of the worst teams in the league, which despite that played without Tyreke Evans, Isaiah Thomas, Demarcus Cousins, Marcus Thornton and Jason Thompson? Come on. Lolcats.
Ariza got a huge contract considering his worth.
I doubt he has any regrets about it.

It's a psychological win man, you kinda need those when you're coming off a 7 win season.

Because we signed arrest, Ariza lost his leverage and was offered the same money we offered him. His contract is no bigger from opting out. He's just being bounced around the worst teams now.

All aboard! The Love train!
I have all of season 2 of the Walking Dead on my DVR. I'll finish watching it some day.

Thought Emoji Movie was good. Take that as you will.
So the Trailblazers went after Phil Jackson and Jerry Sloan.
That's funny.
I wonder how long Phil held out laughing at Olshey.

They just beat a team that won more than 3 times as many games as they did last season.
Small steps.

I think it's more of a confidence thing for them, and I'm glad they're trying to be confident.
Obviously there's a lack of talent in most of the summer league rosters, but imagine what we would have been saying if the Bobcats went winless here too.
Good for them for feeling good.
The NBA is becoming a fucking joke. You can already tell rookie of the year is shapping up to have only certain guys in the running. This after one fucking day of the vegas summer league.

Nowhere on that ladder is Terrence Ross. Who out played every single guard on the list. All the other guards either A) Shot the ball only or B) drove. Ross drove, and shot from all over the floor and finished with over 20 points, while the guys he guarded finished with 2 and 0.

High draft picks + guys who had dominant games getting the top spots isn't that surprising. You really think the NBA is biased towards Tornike Shengelia?

Relax.
Never heard of him.
No. I think the NBA is biased towards certain teams, so they don't bother watching them.
Webber thought Terrence Ross was a European player we drafted from overseas.
Meanwhile Ross is an American, who has never been to Europe, played multiple season in the NCAA, led the NIT tournament in scoring and was a lottery pick.
well it is the raptors
Keep fighting the good fight. Nothing worse than people overlooking your team's first summer league game.
Plus I can't blame Webber, his alcoholism is getting out of hand.
why should anyone give a shit about the Raptors up until this point? And I don't blame Webber for guessing he was a euro... seeing that has been the case for the majority of our draft picks and FA signings in the BC era. I don't blame Raptor's irrelevancy on anyone but Colangelo. What a colossal failure lol how he still has a job is beyond me.
Fortunately this team looks like its finally heading in the right direction...and with that will come some respect from the media and fans.

J.R. kinda just threw Lin under the bus here
No wonder Lin wants out.

What? Who did Terrance Ross guard because Jeremy Lamb had three less points in six less minutes. Dont get me wrong Ross looked good, but i dont know where these defensive stats came from.

Thankfully this has never happened before and no rookie has ever gotten a near unanimous vote despite having an inferior year to someone else!
When Lin did his initial deal with HOU I kind of thought Morey screwed him over by getting such a reasonable deal. NYK was going to match whatever he negotiated, so why play hardball? If Lin means so much to the Knicks then they can pay him for that extra interest he garners. In no way is the current deal a reflection of basketball value, no matter how much HOU supposedly needs a PG
As far as NYK "screwing" HOU by taking the full 3 days, I'm sure HOU knew that would be the response to their actions
bwaha
That's not what he said...

Houston increased the final year by 5 million after everybody on the Knicks were yapping about how they would match no matter what so Morey decided to fuck em over.
Lin would be better off in Houston then he would be in New York but the Knicks ain't going to lose that money train so it's for naught.

How you figure?
That final year was a partial guarantee, and now it's full. And from what I've read NYK will be in both cap and tax hell the last year of the deal. So it is now a legitimate poison pill. Where earlier it was a no brainer they'd match, they'll now at least think on it a little.
People in HOU seem to think all the rumors are coming from neither HOU or ORL. There's no reason for ORL to leak terms that would never be agreed to. It would just make them look bad when the final deal was less than what was floated. So it's a third party who doesn't want that trade to happen. Could be Howard's agent, the Nets, the Lakers, or ATL. Going to be awhile either way
He wouldn't be playing for the Knicks

Wouldn't have the burden of unrealistic expectations that Knicks fans inexplicably put on him. Would actually run an offense instead of Melo Iso enabled by Woodson all game long. Would be on a squad full of athletic guys and well if they get Dwight then that helps too.
So Dwight to the Lakers is now close? http://www.sheridanhoops.com/2012/07/14/report-howard-will-be-traded-to-lakers/
Just want this shit to be over with.
