i want to say it's tim bontemps from wapo, windhorst from espn, and maybe others have said the twolves could get to 50 wins this season. i still think this is crazy but would like to be wrong

windhorst has been going to minn preseason games in person, he's driving the bandwagon

Spottie, Saturday, 22 October 2016 04:16 (seven years ago) link

oh no myers leonards new hair

lag∞n, Saturday, 22 October 2016 04:19 (seven years ago) link

lmao lillard recorded a song abt bill walton theyre saying

lag∞n, Saturday, 22 October 2016 04:26 (seven years ago) link

maybe I will watch some of this I haven't watched any preseason

First impression: dame should not rap

Clay, Saturday, 22 October 2016 04:29 (seven years ago) link

counterplan: dame should not rap abt bill walton. but he's actually got bars tho.

6 god none the richer (m bison), Saturday, 22 October 2016 04:29 (seven years ago) link

hmm dame shd only rap abt bill walton

lag∞n, Saturday, 22 October 2016 04:30 (seven years ago) link

He's not bad no he just raps about products in commercials and I do not like that

Clay, Saturday, 22 October 2016 04:30 (seven years ago) link

Why is kevin durant on the warriors how did we allow that to happen

Clay, Saturday, 22 October 2016 04:32 (seven years ago) link

iirc cap spike smoothing was rejected

micah, Saturday, 22 October 2016 04:33 (seven years ago) link

btw the cavs have some old ass role players. birdman, rjeff, dunleavy jr, james jones & dahntay jones will all be 36 or older.

micah, Saturday, 22 October 2016 04:34 (seven years ago) link

dames music seems ponderous and dull if competent for an nba player, the most interesting thing he cld do from here on out is go with 100% bill walton content

lag∞n, Saturday, 22 October 2016 04:35 (seven years ago) link

i remember when kd called me in july and said "clay what team should i be on" and i said "any team except the warriors because that's just crazy, kev!" then we played some madden and drank sunny ds.

Clay, Saturday, 22 October 2016 04:37 (seven years ago) link

lol imagine being a borderline guy just trying to make the team and yr coach is all hey go defend kevin durant

lag∞n, Saturday, 22 October 2016 04:39 (seven years ago) link

lag∞n, Saturday, 22 October 2016 04:41 (seven years ago) link

lag∞n, Saturday, 22 October 2016 04:48 (seven years ago) link

do you get the in-arena feed for commercials still bc if so i think i'll look into it for the back half of the season

Clay, Saturday, 22 October 2016 04:52 (seven years ago) link

I too have been reborn

Spottie, Saturday, 22 October 2016 04:53 (seven years ago) link

I listened to that dame lp today and it washed over me. Boring but serviceable goon otm

Spottie, Saturday, 22 October 2016 04:54 (seven years ago) link

yeah the arena feed instead of commercials is a life changing experience

lag∞n, Saturday, 22 October 2016 04:58 (seven years ago) link

it is a massive selling point to me

Clay, Saturday, 22 October 2016 05:00 (seven years ago) link

jeeze didn't realize preseason runs right up to the last minute like this. i heard AD maybe got hurt playing in OT today

Clay, Saturday, 22 October 2016 05:37 (seven years ago) link

Spottie, Saturday, 22 October 2016 06:09 (seven years ago) link

just watched an embiid preseason highlight package and I am all in

Clay, Saturday, 22 October 2016 08:28 (seven years ago) link

hes totally living up to the hype afaict

micah, Saturday, 22 October 2016 09:37 (seven years ago) link

im probably the only person who cares, but the spurs made their final roster picks. keeping bryn forbes (excited for him, this guy can shoot the 3) and nico laprovittola (yay argentina). they cut the other argentina player garino and one of the 1st rounders they signed from tony parker's french team, livio jean charles. that dudes numbers were super underwhelming at all levels, was rly surprised they had signed him, but i guess it was a cheap enough deal where they could test out his nba readiness without risking him sucking in a real game.

6 god none the richer (m bison), Saturday, 22 October 2016 19:01 (seven years ago) link

anyway, the spurs have a billion backcourt players now. i think theyve really improved their outside shooting. laprovittola, forbes, bertans can all come off the bench and spread the floor. but theyve got a lot of combo guards. aside fro the big names, the spurs are really young this year.

Adrian Wojnarowsk @WojVerticalNBA
Toronto forward Jared Sullinger will undergo foot surgery Monday and miss extended time to start season, league sources tell @TheVertical.

who he play for

In spite of the fact that the Blazer roster has no major changes and might possibly be marginally improved over last season, I find my best guess about their eventual record, seeding and playoff success to be as uncertain as it was at the start of last season, when almost the whole roster was turned over and they lost 4 of 5 starters.

a little too mature to be cute (Aimless), Monday, 24 October 2016 03:10 (seven years ago) link

blazers were one of the healthiest teams last year iirc, my personal guess is they regress by a game or two

call all destroyer, Monday, 24 October 2016 03:16 (seven years ago) link

yeah i think they'll flex back a bit. they prob played a little over their heads last season and i don't think adding evan turner is going to push their team anywhere. i think they prob end up more like the 7th seed than the 5ht.

J0rdan S., Monday, 24 October 2016 03:19 (seven years ago) link

they'll have a much harder time pulling away from the pack this season if the jazz/grizz/mavs/pels are healthier. they kinda had everything break their way last year. my best guess is they'll be fighting for the bottom seeds

ciderpress, Monday, 24 October 2016 03:22 (seven years ago) link

yeah and specifically in their division utah, denver, and minnesota all figure to be better to much better

J0rdan S., Monday, 24 October 2016 03:30 (seven years ago) link

last year definitely had outlier written all over it

Clay, Monday, 24 October 2016 04:25 (seven years ago) link

i think the hornets are the more likely one to stick of last year's surprise standings climbers

ciderpress, Monday, 24 October 2016 04:28 (seven years ago) link

beantown too but they added al

Clay, Monday, 24 October 2016 04:39 (seven years ago) link

nah theyre still gonna suck

Spottie, Monday, 24 October 2016 04:45 (seven years ago) link

ayoooo

Spottie, Monday, 24 October 2016 04:46 (seven years ago) link

blaze shield be ok, every single rotation player on that team should be better than they were last year except ET

Spottie, Monday, 24 October 2016 04:47 (seven years ago) link

*blazers should be
