I think Avery Bradley is going to have a really good year. Looks great.

Isaiah Thomas remains the greatest.

Sasha vujacic is apparently still in the league and remains the absolute worst.

I feel like the jury's still out on Hinkie. But then I don't really pay attention to the 76ers. What's the inside scoop on them from a fan's perspective?

Hinkie has beat the system. He has a team full of garbage and yet his job is safe and people claim he's a genius. I understand the plan but what happens if in a few more years he doesn't find his LeBron or Durant or Anthony Davis?

Why must Sullinger shoot threes?

 

[MetalFearSolid]

So Byron Scott would like the NBA to introduce a four-point line? Isn't this dude that doesn't believe in 3s in the first place?

He also went to ASU! YEAHHHH!!!!!!!!

Seriously though, he's a bit silly.

So he doesn't get his shot blocked inside. He's not particularly good at anything right now. Very disappointed.

This was supposed to be the season he trimmed down and looked like what we thought he could become. I've now moved on to the Jordan Mickey hype train.

a terrible athlete who trims down is just a skinnier but still terrible athlete.

True but Sully didn't even do that. He just got a new hairstyle.

maybe he thought he could trick people into thinking he was in shape. Byron Scott should start wearing glasses while on the bench people will start thinking he's smart.

I'm pretty sure he was trying to trick people into thinking he was a bigger Marcus Smart.

Is there anything Marcus Smart can do to trick people into thinking he can shoot?

Anyone interested in joining the NBAJAMGAF Fantasy League?!


I founded it last year and it was a blast. We had 12 teams and looking to up to 16 so there are some slots open. Currently no buy-in. Free and fun.

Depending how people feel, will maybe do a buy-in once we lock in people that know the ropes and can get serious about it.

This new Houston...my god

yeah, yeah, preseason

 

[Andrew Korenchkin]

Wow 2-10 from the field. It's Game 7 2002 WCF Kings level of shittiness.

 

[Andrew Korenchkin]

OH THANK FUCK!!!!!

What's going on with the Warriors though? I thought they would just destroy the preseason.

Sorry, it's nice to see the Lakers win SOMETHING for once in these days. Yeah, the Lakers are obviously tied with winning throughout most of their career, but I'm really getting attached to the young Lakers team that will hopefully grow into something amazing. Progress and optimism for me (I don't give a shit about the past titles, I care about the Lakers now).

EDIT: So the game is over already? What a fucking rip off.

 

[Forceatowulf]

Jesus fuck

Even when we win we don't really win. god damn it

Was a fun ass game too. Larry Nance better be in the dunk contest this year...

 

[Fjordson]

Curry is looking even better than last year, but the team overall definitely doesn't. Hopefully just some pre-season blues.

God damn.

RIP Ezeli

His muscle memory is just insane. I didn't think he could possibly shoot any better than the second half of last season. There were two shots early on where he just threw it at the hoop essentially. Next level shooting.

 

[sf2fanatic]

So why game called off? Thx in advance.

 

[Forceatowulf]

RIP Ezeli

Hibbert literally walked back to the locker room after that dunk.

It's the preseason.

RIP Ezeli

He was 25 years old.

 

[XiaNaphryz]

Wait, Lakers game ended early because of poor court conditions?

lol, this is what happens when you play at a random casino I guess.

 

[TheSadRanger]

I fully expect this to happen in a real game this year.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

Not like this, D'Angelo

You talkin about his haircut? lol

Anyone remember when Iverson first showed up with cornrows after the offseason during summer camp?

I swear old white people were gonna have a conniption

 

[Shmeagatory94]

Gaf need advice; I got 3rd pick in my fantasy so should I get KD or Curry? Kinda leaning towards KD but him coming off injury has me worried.

 

[Lexxism]

I'll go with KD.

On a sidenote, Sullinger looks horribly out of shape in these preseason matches. He can't hit a single jumper and he's fatter than ever. I think it's time to trade him.

 

[Gully State]

Celtics fans, how has David Lee looked thus far in preseason?

Solid. He seems to fit into the system and he's a good passer too. His defense is still a problem but overall he seems to be a great bench option. (Amir Johnson has a beast preseason so far and he's the prime candidate for the starting lineup).

Disappointed to hear that he isn't going to start. But them's the breaks.

Is he hitting those free throw line extended jumpers? During his best Warrior seasons, that free throw line extended jumper was damn near automatic. Then somewhere along the line, he just lost the ability to hit them. It was so strange.

It seems that his jumper is there. But it's still too early to judge.
