one thing about Williams, the dude can flat-out shoot...

 

[Retroram52]

Down by two at the end of the first. I hope we get our first win tonight but I gotta run. Later...

 

[Black Adam]

see ya...

I totally agree. Comes in and bam, hits the jumpers and the three ball like he's been playing for minutes. I like him a lot and B. Scott will play him a lot as well.

 

[Retroram52]

see ya...

Likewise.

 

[Kold]

Sup guys, long time no talk...but I've been keeping up with pre-season and man, Randle is starting to come into his own. He's finally added some finesse to his game, and that play on the break in the 3rd quarter was just sick. We won't be a title team or whatever, but I really like the direction that we are heading in

 

[Black Adam]

i'm with ya. Kold. like I said the only thing I think he should work on is when to tone down his aggressiveness. like when he picked up those 3 quick fouls in the first quarter. outside of that kid seems to be coming along nicely...

 

[Retroram52]

All three of the new young studs are going to be sick. Clarkson, Russell, and Randle. What I saw of Upshaw last night leads me to believe that he is going to be this year's version of Tariq Black and right there for an addition to the aforementioned triumvirate. I like the talent level on this team and with the new and improved presence we have in the paint with Hibbert, we will be quite bit further along this year than last.

Julius is looking like the beast his teammates said that he was. Just keeping working on that outside shot young fella.

Upshaw needs to make the team over Sacre. There's just so much more potential there.

Agree with both statements. Randle is going to take the league by storm and Upshaw definitely should get the nod over Sacre.

In fact, to clear roster spots, the best thing the team can do is try to trade Sacre and/or Kelly for draft picks.

REAL talk...

 

[Rambunctious]

Is there a game tonight?

 

[Retroram52]

Yea its at 6:30pm and we a replaying Haifa. I doubt I am staying up for this exhibition.

 

[Retroram52]

Apparently, in the NBA's attempt to be international, we found an Israeli opponent whom we could manhandle. We won 126-83 over Maccabi Haifa last evening. Seriously.

Yeah. I watched most of it. They looked good, but it was against a decidedly non-NBA caliber team.

 

[Shaqdaddy11]

They needed an opponent like this to boost their confidence a bit

byron scott said few cuts expected by end of week...kinda wanted to see what huertas can do. don't see him making cut not having played thus far

He'll probably make the cut as the 3rd string PG

 

[lakersrule]

I think they like Huertas a lot. Considering he's really their only true PG, I think he makes the team.

 

[OutlawImmortal]

Now if Russell can get 10+ dimes against NBA competition in 18 minutes of play then we'll be fine and dandy.
