Diamond Stone: A Bull in Your Rose Garden

I just realized that the Lakers have a very "Timberwolves" roster this year

ha true. some promising youngsters and weird vet signings.

every time i look at that roster i am reminded that they picked up KCP and Bropez.

this old rookie the lakers got in the russell trade has been tearing the preseason up http://www.espn.com/nba/player/_/id/3134907/kyle-kuzma

another 21pts last night that espn for some reason doesnt have

yeah been seeing a lot of 'Kuzma's gonna have Randle's starting spot by Christmas' takes.

i watched a couple of those games and he really did look genuinely good skilled poised athletic 6-9 in a long wing who can play the 4 sort of way

does he rebound?

prob not he doesnt look too strong

that first game the lakers put him in and he immediately did a jumpstop spin to baby hook in transition and the announcers were like wtf is this then the next play he hit a ten foot running hook then he hit a 3 and the bench was freaking out

nice

he was crushing summer league too iirc

As a lifetime Blazers fan I appreciate Aldridge's tenure in Portland, but if he is unhappy with his choice to sign with the Spurs, then my only comment is that he had his fate in his own hands. He made his own bed and now he must lie in it.

Probably just till the trade deadline though

love to lie in bed until the trade deadline

Kevin McHale remembers Harden's awful defense: 'James is not a leader' https://t.co/O5t8onCH6s pic.twitter.com/bDFqv5GEzC

...drama

U could always hear Mchale holding back in his comments when he would call rox games after he was fired

"Look, if James tells you ‘Chuck (Barkley), you got to play better D.' Are you listening to him? You gotta be kidding me. I lived through it, believe me. Everybody in the locker room did this (put hand on head and look down)."

what the hell is the bulls roster even

nba2k simulation roster

zipster to pondexter back to markkanen

"sheldon mac" and "shelvin mack" are both nba players

"bojan bogdanovic" and "bogdan bogdanovic" are both nba players

lowe putting the celtics into the wizards/raptors tier is an insult and an outrage http://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/20960590/zach-lowe-2017-18-nba-tiers-ratings

smh

They are also relying on young players and unproven long-range shooters -- a big deal for a team that jacked more triples than everyone but Houston and Cleveland. Opponents will dare Jaylen Brown, Marcus Morris, Terry Rozier, Jayson Tatum and svelte Marcus Smart, and Stevens will likely encourage them to let fly -- at least from the corners, where Brown quietly drilled 44 percent. But most first- and second-year players are net negatives.

If Philly makes the playoffs, it will mean that Joel Embiid played a healthy number of games -- at least 50, and probably more. When Embiid plays, the Sixers are good. They outscored opponents with Embiid on the floor last season, when nobodies were playing minutes that will now go to Simmons, J.J. Redick, Markelle Fultz and Jerryd Bayless. (Scoff at Bayless, but he's going to close a lot of games.)

Jaylen Brown, Marcus Morris, Terry Rozier, Jayson Tatum and svelte Marcus Smart

only two out of five of these guys are first or second year players!

Simmons, J.J. Redick, Markelle Fultz and Jerryd Bayless

two out of four of these guys are first year players!

unbelievable

btw i watched celtics-6ers the other day and simmons does look pretty amazing but he also picked up 3 offensive fouls because hes afraid to shoot

fear of shooting prob won't last all season

well tbf hes afraid of shooting because hes bad at it
