So Heat lost, Nets lost.

 

Gonna be a fun season fellas.

I'm not high on the Nets at all but they'll be much better later in the season than they are at the beginning.

That has to be one of the best debuts ever right? (Michael Carter-Williams)

Just heard him called "Michael Williams-Carter" on ESPN

 

close enough!

Wade sat out the 2nd game of the season. Not a good sign if you're a Heat fan.

It's funny, yesterday a sixers fan friend of mine posted an article about how the 6ers are not trying to lose this season, but just didn't care about winning. Sure enough, team looks like it's a lot of efficient role players who will play hard.

They will easily lose 60 games this year. Sample size, people.

Derrick might not play. f***.

WTF? Why?

Derrick might not play. f***.

Step off the ledge.

 

Derrick Rose missed the morning shootaround with a sore neck and is a game-time decision for Friday's game.

 

This news seems relatively benign as it pertains to Rose's neck and not his surgically repaired knee. Rose said he's fine and plans to play in Thursday's game against New York.

They are literally trying to as an org.

I commented to my friend about how I thought Tony Snell missing the 3 straight 3pointers fed to him in the same possession was more embarrassing than an open dunk. He disagreed and gave this list :

level 1: getting eyed (pull up in your face, usually following trash talk)

level 2: getting crossed over

level 2.5 (my addition): Taj Gibson clapping at Bosh to come at him only to easily get taken

level 3: getting dunked on

level 4: missing dunk

level 5: ankle breaker crossover

level 6: scoring in your own basket

 

Anything we're missing?

 

 

Calling time out with none left?

 

 

passing the ball to the ref instead of your player

 

See Javale McGee highlights.

Horribly blatant flop that doesn't get called

Right but winning 22 games is a far cry from people thinking this would be the worst team of all time. The article wasn't arguing they'd be a playoff team, just that they would be a lock to win over 17 (especially with other teams that will be tanking)

I'll take that over.

I'll take that over.

put it on the board!

 

what are we betting? You've got over 17.5, I've got under? Is that cool?

Yeah no push. I don't know what to bet. I block sigs at work so not sure that's really a threat to me.

 

This is a sucker bet though, I don't know how I can lose. They are on pace to go 82-0.

Game 1: Posterize LeBron. Check

i gotta admit, I think Phoenix is worse than Philly now. That team is garbage outside of Bledsoe and Dragic, who play the same position. Young and Turner are decent NBA players and you could do worse than Spencer Hawes inside. Then there's Carter-Williams, who most people probably expected to average 8-4-5 with under 40% shooting and over 3 turnovers. If they get anything from him, they'll beat some of these awful teams.

 

Then again, they have like 6 NBA-caliber players and no one that I'd say is a top-3 scorer on a contender, so under 17 is still possible.

Rose should have at least 4 foul shots by now.
