lol 4pm

Dedication.

It's a warm up for the regular season.
If I can survive another 6 minutes of game time, I'll be confident in my NBA viewing stamina.

 

[darkside31337]

I see some of you are back on the Lin bandwagon smh.

Wish I stayed up late enough to watch the game.

 

[Emwitus]

Lins shot does look better and Howard just looks bleh on O.

Some shitty ass bs calls on Howard though and non calls. Feels like the shit Asik was dealing with last year.

This is going to be a fun season

 

[Future PhaZe]

Kelly still shitting on people

;_;

 

[Vic]

I'm thinking that the areas where Howard sucks will affect the Rockets much less than it did with the Lakers.

 

[ItWasMeantToBe19]

MKG is 4-18 from the field in the preseason despite only four of those shots coming from further than three feet from the basket :/

Well it helps that he'll be playing with better players and a better coach.

Yep.

Depends on how much he's willing to defer

If he blows off setting screens and the PNR in order to cry about getting post touches so he can miss hook shots or get fouled and miss freethrows it's going to be the same shit.

If he just plays defense and tries to just be a finisher then they'll be in the WCF.

Meanwhile, Biyombo did well against Milwaukee's frontline.

Either way, lol

Yep.

So much innuendo.

too much work going on

 

[MorisUkunRasik]

Did Howard really get outplayed by the majority of his team?

Gonna need someone other than Em to comment. He played solid D tho right?

 

[Gordon0Freeman]

Y'all been watching Bill and Jalen's season previews on grantland? Some of them are pretty insightful and funny.

Michael Beasley exited a side door at the practice court shortly after Sunday's practice at AmericanAirlines Arena.

He returned from the executive suite and coaching offices a few minutes later smiling.

"Only this time," he said, "I'm not in trouble. I used to be in trouble when I went in there."

"When we had him as a young player, we were trying to teach him our system, our culture, but also teach him NBA situations," coach Erik Spoelstra said. "When you play five, six years in the league, those situations now are more familiar. We're simply fast-tracking him on how we do things."

Part of that fast-tracking is ingraining the versatile forward into the Heat culture, an approach that didn't quite take during that initial two-season stint.

"It's the way they live, the way they play," Beasley said. "It's doing things the right way. It's doing things in good faith and doing the work hard."

dwight looks...off.

Lins shot does look better and Howard just looks bleh on O.

They are entertaining but some of their comments are so dumb/uninformed.

Jalen said Derozan is a good three point shooter and expects him to make a big jump and score 18 a game this year. Derozan has shot under 30% from three every season and averaged 17.8 a game last season lol.

That's why I don't listen/watch those team previews. Jalen/Bill have no idea what they are talking about when it comes to non-contending team/players. It'd be way better if they had Zach Lowe doing them or fact checking.

That and SImmons random pop culture references can get annoying.

Anyone down for an auction draft instead of the usual? Once you do it once, it's hard to go back honestly.

In what starting point guard Deron Williams described as a "typical NBA fight"—because no real punches were thrown—reserves Mirza Teletovic and Andray Blatche tried to attack each other before being separated and exchanging a few words from a safe distance.

Kidd was probably drinking when this happened

Not as much as Nene was drinking after that reception in Brazil.

First CJ and now Burke? Damn.

i was prepared to be bad but if those guys can't play together its a total waste..

other than the draft pick of course.

First CJ and now Burke? Damn.

At least CJ being out doesn't mean you have to watch John Lucas III start for your team.

 

[ItWasMeantToBe19]

Nerlens Noel will probably play like three months and win ROY at this point.

Time to watch Julius Randle mixtapes while hoping that he learns how to pass and defend.
