Pre Season Thread

Hear me out before you react....

Those Dudes aren't the answer, long-term.

But, they are all you have to work with. So.....

With that being said....

The Lakers need to look into bringing a guy like Clarkson back.

Not sure you have anything to offer this year because you emptied the cupboard for Davis and you have nothing that you would trade, that anyone would want.

Kuz for Clarkson should cost Rob his job. So, don't see that happening.

But, he's a free agent next year and you guys should kick all those guys to the curb, maybe even Quinn, and bring Jordan back.

KCP is only on the team as a favor to his agent IMO. That money could've been much better spent elsewhere. There were will be changes made next summer I'm sure. Heck, Boogie could be back by then lol.

I mostly mentioned those other guys as an illustration of how little it takes to provide what KCP does in most games. That said, I'm curious to see TH-T develop (reminds me of Iggy a bit with his shoulders and long arms). Norvell is just a 2 way player, no risk having him around (like Cacock in the front court). Daniels could be the guy that takes minutes away from KCP THIS year though, as he's a much more dangerous perimeter shooter (at least in the smallish doses that he's been used thus far in his career). I haven't seen Quinn play for them yet, maybe Saturday morning...

It should be on the same time, 4:30 PST...

for once the EAST coast gets a break lol...

Hooray! 7:30 isn't too bad, although for a Saturday that's probably 3 hours too early for me lol.

Avery Bradley is WASHED.

Dude is nothing more than a situational, defensively inclined bench player.

I thought it was the injuries last year.

Nope.

He's cooked, has been for a Season and a half.

Lakers just need him to defend and space the floor. Hopefully he can do that...

I'm pretty sure the Bucks will be fine. Once Buck comes in here and tells us how they're going to trade Ilyasova for Luka Doncic they don't even need Bledsoe at that point.

I'm sure everyone was anxiously waiting and it's finally here........Cavs finally play their preseason opener against another NBA team.

Good luck.

Bryant will give you threes on top of the typical big man stats. ARGGGH, stupid Lakers.

Oh shit....


You guys did have him.

I gotta say, I'm impressed by Howard's play and attitude.

I would much rather have him over, foul per minute , Zubac.

Like, in the game against the Rox, that description isn't that much of an exaggeration.

Fouled out in 11 mins.

I know....

It's just the Preseason and he has played better since then.

It just irks the shit out of me that the Clippers are counting on him to hold down the position.

Trezl and Jamychal are too small.

 

[bksballer89]

He's back @TurnUpTheHeat

 

[shopson67]

Oh shit....


You guys did have him.

On top of him being a Laker, he also went to high school here locally. I was SO pissed that they waived him instead of paying his $1M (or less?) salary two summers ago. Clearing salary for a bunch of place holder trash.

Another?

Oh right, I almost forgot the cavs are a legitimate NBA team.

The Celtics stunk up the floor defensively in their first preseason game...

... nice to see them showing some pride tonight.

Defense is at least 50% effort and focus and giving-a-damn.

Probably more.

Cavs dominating

Porter Jr looks good

Didn't realized kawhi played last night

Looked really good too.

Finally got to watch some Sixers ball.

I realize that preseason is often a big lie but man Thybulle is a disrupter. 4 steals and a block in 18 minutes of play. His off ball defense is NBA ready. I didn't see much on ball defense as he was generally put on one of the weaker players on the pretty weak Hornets squad. But he is constantly looking to make a play.

The Sixers arguably screwed the pooch on their moves to get Thybulle but he looks so exciting right now. If he can shoot the 3 in the low 30s it will be a huge win for a rookie on a title seeking team.
