Standing next to him is so terrifying

 

You’d have to think with so many people cord-cutting they’ll get rid of blackouts in the next decade yeah? I’d 100% buy league pass if I could get Nuggets games. If any league is going to do it I’d think the NBA would be the first

 

Ayton is cool

 

Bobi

 

De'Aaron Fox is very good and the Kings have yet again tricked me into thinking they'll be fun to watch, excited to see how it all falls apart

 

Hey two wins. Hell yeah. Championship bound!

 

Exciting and depressing aren't mutually exclusive...

 

I don't disagree with the message, but a bit rich coming from him - who never seems to relax, and definitely doesn't trust his teammates.

 

i think i had more fun watching 2-3 games over the last 2 nights than i've had watching an entire day of football so far this season.

 

They looked really fun for most of the first quarter.

 

From someone who expected them to lose by 30 on the road without two of our rotational players to a top 2 or 3 team in the East, I was pleasantly surprised at how well they played in spurts. They started off the game pretty well and made a decent comeback in the 4th to go from down 20 to down 7 (with an opportunity to go down 5). Hell, we lost by 34 at Toronto last season WITH LeBron.

Cedi was great. Played under control, looked more polished and I'm really excited to watch him grow. Love was atrocious from the field (I think he started 1 of 9) but still got to the line a ton. Hood played OK and Clarkson was a pretty good spark off the bench. Sexton looked very overwhelmed, which is to be expected (Kyrie's NBA debut was 6 points off 2-9 shooting - in a loss to a much worse...Toronto at home).

Kind of headscratching that Korver was the first player off the bench, but then he only played 2 minutes in the first half (14 total). Lue was subbing guys a lot to keep the pace fast. I'm not sure if he was tiring out the opponents as much as he was his own team.

Thompson had 13 rebounds and Hill actually played well (15&7) but I'd much rather see Nance (when healthy) and Zizic play over Thompson and Sexton over Hill. Thompson is in his 8th year in the league and still somehow puts the ball down to his waist every time he grabs a rebound. One of the more frustrating things I've seen from a big man year after year.

I also don't know why Dekker is in the rotation. I'd rather have Nwaba play over him (or more Korver).

 

Excited for Lebron tonight

 

this east coaster is gonna struggle to stay up to watch LA-bron but is not planning to have much success

 

So does this mean HS guys can enter the draft but have to spend a year in the g league or go g league then draft or what

 

G League then draft it seems like

 

the exposure of the NCAA for someone with talent to be a first or second round pick is hard to pass up imo

 

The last sentence LMAO

 

woj knows

 

lol Woj with the zinger

 

These athletes need to get paid so I’m for whatever can facilitate that, even if it’s just put pressure on the ncaa
