Is this where we talk about Ball? Draft threads locked.

Super lost on D although active hands. Obviously needs bulk. Why do all the Balls shoot from the chest?

Also enjoying Aaron Brooks being referred to constantly as 'Kevin', as the latter was playing NBL when I was watching like 20 years ago :lol:

Ball has come up with some huge plays at the end. Loves a gamble on D too.

I'm not sure what the rational was
I'm against picketing but I don't know how to show it.

Seems like a smart move that can pay off two ways. One it tells Toronto that they’re in it to win this year, not tear it down. That “vote of confidence” applies for the players, Raptors fans and the league.

Two, it would give some poorly run team like Orlando confidence, that if they dealt for him at the deadline, he’d be theirs for another year.

Cavs (starting five veterans) are down by three to a team from the Argentinian league after one quarter. Almost no one there. Gonna be a rough season of basketball in Cleveland.

Is there anything more boring than a Wizards Knicks preseason game? Not sure why I just watched 10 minutes of that.

Okafor looks like he's dropped a ton of weight for NO. I didn't recognize him until they zoomed in on his face.

10/10 would empty my bank account to watch Justin Anderson straight up hospitalize Marcus Morris.

Will Andre Drummond ever get a (wide open) 3 point shot (to hit the rim)?

Practice makes perfect. Andre should definitely not give up.

Seeing that the Warriors picked up Scottie Pippin's nephew allowed me to learn that he has 7 children and 4 sons.

That's the way to produce a decent basketballer for a son, have a heap of them.

How bad can your bench be when you got the Lord and Savior locking down the backup 5?
