Voltes V: "Laser swooooooooord!"

Lowe on his podcast was pointing out russel wasn't hero balling with shooters on the floor and was a +11. :shrug:

That's overall right? He had an incredible first half

I mean just look at that video posted earlier. Dude would bring the ball up and charge directly at 3-4 rocket defenders in the lane, flailing the ball up nowhere near the rim

Lowe spent a lot of words to say ball hog, a description Simmons already put out there for westbrook.

These nerd s don't understand why players appreciate WB, without wanting to play with him, when as a nerd, it should be blatantly obvious.

That was definitely some classic Thunder isoball crap at the end there, but also the Rockets just started hitting all the 3s they normally do.

The Thunder were also prone to doing the exact same poo poo when they had Durant, Ibaka, et cetera. Didn't they do it against the Warriors last year?

Penny made it into the game. Shocked Seth Curry isn't one of the Mavs initially in game. Only Curry not to make it. I hope classic players that played for multiple teams have different jersey options. It'd be cool to play as Kidd with a Mavs jersey instead of Nets. Robinson is in but not Duncan.

Edit: No Steve Nash

Rubio, 'Nique, Wilt. Good. No Jason Williams though. :/

EDIT: Quote from NBA Playgrounds on Duncan: "Duncan is coming too. He is in DLC 1 because he had to join the reitirement association before we included him."

None of these players or coach brought any hardware to Boston though.

Marcus Smart hasnt done poo poo but allow for whoever is guarding him to play centerfield in the defense.

This is really good.

I like Clifford a lot. I kind of wonder what happens to him once MJ decides to put a guy in who can sell Nike sports coats or something in the spot because he's not very flashy but he's very good.

The thing is the Lakers are really going to regret not having Williams next year after whatever lovely trade they make for Melo puts them in """""win""""" now mode.
