Is he as bad as his stats indicate? I'm still pissed they gave up Justin Holiday in the Rose trade.

He's a Raw prospect who got very few minutes. He's allegedly a shooter. But I have my doubts as that doesn't fit the Bulls style.

if he's a shooter than he already doesn't fit with the Team Concept

The entire arena is so lit. I haven't seen anything like this since Iverson.

Also, pregame the parking lot filled up with a bunch of Croatians and they started chanting "gently caress Trump."

Is it weird that I got into the NBA and finally caved to League Pass because of the social media aspects of it??

I find a lot of the people who cover the NBA are interesting and the "meme" content is really funny (like all the KD switching to a Spurs jersey jokes from last night, and the weird anime cartoons everyone liked last year)

Like, I've quietly read these threads for like 2 years now, and they're among my favorites here to read, you all know whats going on and are funny.

I don't know poo poo about the intricacies of basketball, and I'm going to do my best to figure it out, so I won't contribute much, but thanks for helping me get into it.


(go Kings)

Pretty much the same, except I'm falling back on nbahd instead of League Pass and go Pistons.

Still pretty sure the Pacers will regress this year, but through 3 quarters its been interesting watching them play genuine half-court offense. Seems like Turner's ability to hit from 18 might make things less clogged than I imagine, although against opposition that sometimes plays three men at a time that are incapable of lateral movement on defense.

quote:

PHILADELPHIA -- A Philadelphia 76ers fan wearing an Allen Iverson jersey was escorted out of the arena midway through the first quarter after flashing double middle fingers at Oklahoma City Thunder star Russell Westbrook following an and-1 during the season opener for both teams.

Westbrook finished a layup plus the foul with 4:52 remaining in the first quarter and looked out at the crowd on the baseline and let out a yell with a flex.

The fan, sitting on the second row of the baseline, stood up and put the middle fingers directly in Westbrook's face and said, "F--- you!" Westbrook looked at the nearby referee with a confused look and said, "Can he do that?"

While at the line taking his free throw, other Sixers fans also chanted, "KD left you!"

At the time, the Sixers led 18-7. Following the incident the Thunder outscored the Sixers 16-6 to finish the first quarter.

Yep.


Starting backcourt was 5-19 from the floor, including 0-7 from 3 and no attempted free throws :barf:

How did DeRozan get 40 points in three quarters? The defense looked loving putrid.

Nice win for OKC. It wasn't pretty but about as expected. Russ was one assist from a triple double. Dipo kinda sucked.

Embiid is going to be a monster, which is good because he's a cool dude.
