I'm glad I didn't gamble on any early season games because I'm surprised by a ton of the early results. Also a lot of the young guys across the league look real legit. This is gonna be a fun season.

I found D'Russell pass that's not in the highlights from last night's Pacers-Nets game:
4th quarter
8:09 Thaddeus Young blocks Rondae Hollis-Jefferson's layup 106 - 119
at http://nbahd.net/YFwQrCq8C9dt/ and fast-forwarding 2 minutes in

I love it, even if he couldn't finish it. The Nets were pushing like that all night, wouldn't let the Pacers lay back at all. It looked great and Lin going out really really sucks. We might not make the playoffs now :[

Now that Lin is out, Russell is about to go Kobe shot chart on every Nets game.

Spurs in San Antonio. Even without Kawhi they have made good teams look rough for decades. There were bad things, but there was a lot of good too. Don't get too depressed too quickly.

I'm just short term "man it sucked to get dismantled like that" depressed not long term "welp the season is over" depressed.

Looking forward to seeing Ricky on Friday even though I probably won't be able to watch much of the game :shobon:

Now every coach is going to insist on his players Gait Matching.

Views: In a favorable matchup, the Pistons' white stretch fours performed really well as centers and created lots of space for drivers and cutters. Stanley Johnson thinks he's a combination of young Kobe and Lebron and it's not working at all on offense. He plays hard on defense and is getting better at focusing his effort toward the correct concern.

Andre Drummond missed tons of time due to foul trouble that came from actually trying on defense, and his preseason ft shooting form seemed to remain. All in all a bunch of signs that the Pistons might be alright.
New arena was 50% empty on its inaugural night, it's shocking they didn't give those tickets to schools or something like that to fill the joint. Very ugly on TV

Utah's defense looks great, Jokic's big big passing looked not great, a lot of fear in the hearts of Denver's offense. Their guards are hot and cold

If you guys miss the Zach Harper Eye on Basketball podcast, he has the Talk Hoops podcast now and the first couple episodes have (Jumpin) James Herbert. So far so good if you liked his CBS pod.

Yes, the Lakers got the expiring 7 footer with chronic foot issues who can't rebound or play defense, not the serviceable defensive center.

I wonder if this was intended to be some kinda Gordon Hayward-angled mind game that's since become unnecessary? Or perhaps extra necessary with Gordo's extra time off? Interesting anyways. It says Warriors might also buy in, but unless the NBA reaches some kinda licensing agreement they'll have to use slightly different branding. I imagine they'll keep team colors.
