When I was 17, my father was so stupid, I didn't want to be seen with him in public. When I was 24, I was amazed at how much the old man had learned in just 7 years.
Rudy Gay out there in the last five minutes of a preseason was very sad. I know ]dudes say they ain't leaving until someone rips the jersey off but man. . .

It’s strategy. Teams can’t watch film on you if they can’t stand to watch your games.

This Toronto - Cairns game is… more then a little lopsided. Not sure I understand the point of this one.

Edit: I think maybe this is proven by them running an interview on flopping and rule changes for the first 5 minutes of the second quarter instead of focussing on the currently 47-22 game.

I thought Richard Jefferson started out decent but man every ESPN announcer ends up awful by their third year if they were ever good to start. Has to be something in how it's produced.

I think it's just they use up their collection of interesting stories and useful insights. Then they aren't in the game anymore so they can't really refresh any of that unless you want to hear about golf or kitchen remodels or whatever. The majority of good color commentators have a shelf life of just a few years. It's harsh but they should probably just rotate through em and toss em when they start getting stale.

You would think with as many freak injuries as the Warriors have had they would not have rotation players out there in second half of the fourth quarter of a preseason game but he does this poo poo every drat preseason game.

Blazers are sitting their veterans and playing exclusively 2-3 zone and have 16 fouls and 15 turnovers in 18 minutes.

Gonna be a long season.

Less bad as that just because Rudy Gay still can act as a big traffic cone for defenders to go around.

Yeah - I get the logic though. These young guys need to learn different sets. However, the 2-3 zone hasn't worked in the 3 years Billups has been coach here.

On the bright side, Camara, Duop, and Sharpe look pretty good.
