There was always talk about him having guard like skills but it felt like bullshit because all he did in college was score off lobs and putbacks. Then he got to the NBA and somehow it was actually true

You guys really need to watch Jonas Valancunias. He's way better than all but 2 of these guys.

Best centre in the east no question.

No, Drummond is probably better from a straight value standpoint

I don't even know that JV is that much better than Vucevic

Dallas Mavericks: Generations
Dirk was too sick to go to DWill's Halloween party. I'd post the team pic but am lazy and phone posting.

Bashez, it's too early to declare the Mavs as bad. They've played 3 games, 2 without Dirk. One game (with Dirk) went to OT and another they lost by a basket (which shouldn't have happened because Harden offensively fouled Matthews on the start of the possession to move him out of possession.) They will look better when Harris and Dirk are both back. They also have one of the hardest schedules to start the season. Wait and see where they are when they hit 20 wins.

Watching the Vice channel, and these two very New York-ish dudes have a show where they discuss sports and pop culture. Anyway, they go on to say that both NBA superteams both lost by 29 points on opening night.

Are the Knicks actually considered a "superteam"?
I mean by people who are not in or from NY?

Good morning basketfriends! I am wondering where you all like to go for morning roundups of the previous night's slate of games, and for NBA news/analysis in general. I realize this is a pretty vague request, but I'm just trying to expand my readership beyond Twitter accounts – and looking for something between the unreadable horror of nba.com/ESPN and the super in depth stuff you might find on Nylon Calculus. Any thoughts?

Thank you god bless and here is a picture of Clarence Weatherspoon smiling for your troubles:

He's taking Rubio's starting spot today as Rubio is out with a elbow thing. They've been reporting the starting job would be Dunn's this season either way. It's not really Dunn's fault, he looks like a pretty good player, but the selection and positioning of Dunn means the Wolves will be a lot less fun to watch.

Apparently if the Spurs win it will be their best start in franchise history.

Kawhi is getting to the line like a mad man. If that keeps up I'd expect him to be MVP favorite. It was easily the weakest part of his game and if his three point shot comes back he's going to be ungodly efficient.
