1.  Zach Randolph

2. Matthew Dellavedova

Draymond in there?  #dickpics

Matt Barnes?

 

[Poke_4_Life]

Are they starting Roberson at SF and Sabonis at PF? 

Yes.  

I guess that means the Thunder have lots of bench scoring w/ Morrow, Ilyasova, and Kanter.  All of which should get 20+ mins/game.

I know teams often hide their all offense no defense players in the second unit but that trio is taking that idea to the extreme. There is going to be a lot of scoring at the end of the 1st and 3rd quarters in Thunder games.

 

[Spartans Rule]

People keep talking about Ilyasova like he's a no-defense player which is not true. Big fan of his when he was with the Pistons last year. He led the NBA in charges taken and always played hard on D. Physical limitations hurt him in some matchups but he's far from a liability at that end.

 

[Frostillicus]

I don't think Derrick Rose has thrown a single pass tonight.

 

[Abraham]

I don't think Derrick Rose has thrown a single pass tonight.

Getting back into Elite shape*.

*in his healthy time I enjoyed watching rose play as much as anyone. I think it sucks that a guy with his talent has battled injuries so much.  The East would have been more fun with a strong Bulls team pushing the heat a few years ago.

he takes charges because he is so slow that when a guy puts a double move on him he hasnt actually moved yet and gets runned over take that to the bank brohan

The Golden State Warriors blew a 3-1 series lead in The Finals.

I'm hoping everyone sticks with this thread, because the separate board sucks.

When did we get a basketball board?

 

[matuski]

Whats with those terrible ties that Pop and Kerr are wearing (identical)?

 

[Capella]

Wait there's a basketball forum? I thought everybody was just kidding. 

 

[Charlie Harper]

Homage to to Craig Sager.

 

[Charlie Harper]

Wait there's a basketball forum? I thought everybody was just kidding. 

It's pretty much filled with individual team threads.

I mean this thread would get dropped to the 2nd page at times...yet there's enough interest for a separate forum? GB daily fantasy sports.

 

[Capella]

Oh god this thread is going to get moved and Tim is going to find it over there and it's just going to be him talking about his 12 favorite players on the 1984 Lakers, ranked.

Already ordered my Sager shirt, btw.  :flex:

I was actually worried the season would be boring to watch.

McGee might actually be needed during the season.

God the crowd sucks.

Warriors will be fine, of course, but wow Zaza looks bad. 

 

[Charlie Harper]

At least Varejao was in mid-season form. 2 minutes. 2 flops.

 

[thecatch]

At least Varejao was in mid-season form. 2 minutes. 2 flops.

If options B and C are Varejao and McGee, I suspect interior defense will be a season long storyline.

4.  James Worthy

5.  Kareem

6.  That's as far as I can go I was 8 and remember most of these guys from later seasons.

Needs more Kurt Rambis

Bucks win this thing yet?

Edit - Trading MCW has to be worth at least 27 wins, no?

This may be the greatest tweet in NBA twitter history.  Which is saying a lot since NBA twitter is the best twitter.

In other news, I didn't realize how much I'd missed Pop until he was back in my life:

Popovich on if he still gives Kerr advice: "I hate Steve Kerr. If he asks me anything I tell him to go urinate in a bucket."

Another funny Pop point from last night, he must know who Nate Duncan is now since he answewed Duncan's post game press conference question about what Khawi was doing differently/improvement in paragraph form in an intelligent manner.

Thread title is better than a Pop interview question

Glad to see Simmons had a good game.   He looked really good at times last year.   I wasn't sure why he didn't get more minutes down the stretch.

I hope Simmons works out. He might be what the Spurs were hoping Anderson would be this year.

Anderson seems to be a big disappointment so far.  Do you concur?

 

[Timmay]

Anderson seems to be a big disappointment so far.  Do you concur?

I agree. However, he is still only 23 years old so the jury is still out on him. He has the size and he plays with poise, but some times he is a little too slow. He doesnt really have a specialty, he just does everything average. All i ever heard was how he fits the Spurs roster so well, which I can see, but I dont think he will be any more than a role player getting 10-20 minutes per game off the bench.
