So what is this?

Photo was apparently taken at a promo event, so it could just be for that.

The Nets one is black and white now:



Most of the teams have done a decent job blending them in. Worst ones are probably the Hawks and the Warriors

The Sixers Stubhub patch is a bit unsightly

That one doesn't bother me. I forgot about the Bucks and Sacramento, though, those are also bad.

"Best" is probably Minnesota

Even if they just show the Nets feed with their announcers, it will be much, much more tolerable than when they did that with the Celtics crew last game. Oh my god they are so bad

Boston's feed was the only option during last week's Hornets-Celtics and every time Tommy says "Kemba Walker" it's like nails on chalkboard

I usually learn a lot from Nick Sciria's Twitter threads.

Spacing

Warriors offense

Hornets offense

Same with when Zach Lowe does deep dives into specific teams and players. Prada's Pictures at SBNation has some interesting stuff even if Prada sounds like Nathan Fielder on novocaine

Who are the best-looking rookies so far? Kuzma, Mitchell, Jackson, Monk, DSJ? Hopefully we get a solid class after last year's wet fart

as someone who watched Frank the Tank tear poo poo up while living in Madison, I'm sad he's basically a goofball reserve now

He'd at least have some small value if he could consistently hit thees but he can't even do that

I'll have you remember the two post Josh Smith waiver weeks when he was by far the best player in the NBA and put the Pistons ahead of every other team in all advanced metrics, then tore his achilles. He was Cat Barber quick and was making threes off the dribble, basically a rich man's Steph Curry.

I love speedy shithead chuckers so when Jennings dropped 55 his rookie year I thought he was the second coming. The Italy thing was cool, too.

Do you guys know when the seasons new jerseys will be available to buy? Hoping to get one for my birthday which is fast approaching but i can't seem to find any.

Looks like the official NBA store has them.

In general I think you are what you defend, but it really wouldn't be a big deal if Simmons wasn't being a big baby about it. I'm mostly just confused about what he thinks he's getting out of it, a dude dominating the ball at power forward is still more exciting and novel than "tall PG"

Hornets going into the season with Nic Batum, Jeremy Lamb, Treveon Graham, Michael Carter-Williams and Julyan Stone either sidelined or limited by injury. Michael Kidd-Gilchrist has mysteriously disappeared for the last few weeks tending to an "excused personal issue" and will miss the opener. A dude named Dwayne Bacon is probably going to be starting at shooting guard and Malik Monk is going to average 52 shots a game

Now I want to count how many games I watch this year.

It's easier if you PVR them, that way you can skip the commercials and halftime. I usually end up doing this anyway because of my work schedule.

The League Pass condensed games are great for this
