It's just a tune-up and I don't care about the stats or result but... D-WILLY DAWGS.

He looks significantly lighter than he was last season!

You see that Kobe fast break dish about 10 minutes ago, dude was ultra confused as to when and how to pass the ball and overcommitted, might have been the first time he didn't take the shot. :lol:

D-Will is actually trying to play defense and I like what I see.

In Melo's defense, he is amazing in international play. Much better then he is in the NBA.

Durant is even better in international play tho. I remember him killing it in FIBA Championship a couple years ago.

D-Will with 10 assists! and it looked like he was into playing more defense out there.

Cause he's guarding scrubs that couldn't make an NBA roster as a rookie minimum player and doesn't have to expend much effort on offense.

Anyone see Deron go into Berserk Mode? Shades of ending Linsanity.

NBA TV has a replay at 12:30. Deron had a quick 14 to start the 2nd half.

Correct me if I'm wrong but wasn't this the starting line up today? Can you see into the future my good sir?

What's this douches name with Fran again?

He's saying the English crowd isn't cheering because they don't know the game of basketball, the nuances.

No you douchey idiot, they're not cheering because their home team is being shellacked by almost 40 points...

Kevin Love a total non-factor BTW.

Still don't know what to make of him and I've watched him a lot, all the way back since UCLA.

he's utterly useless at this level. bad at defending these rolling european sets, will never steal the ball, can't find himself shots, nonfactor in transition, and for some reason he's not able to make an kind of impact on the glass. actually, he looks outright small out there, both in height and girth, in comparison to the last two front lines we've played. i dunno he just seems like one of those guys whose ability to put numbers stands on a pin needle, one small change in role/situation/style of play might just drop his game off a cliff
