Exum has a Kyrie Irving smoothness to his game when he's driving to the basket.

Bennett follows his 13/8 game with 12/11 off the bench. Shoulda bought low....

LOL clearly has hit it already.

Whole time he's undressing her with his eyes and smiling to himself and there's a level of comfort there that suggests a familiarity that goes farther than a professional relationship.

One of my main drafts is coming up tonight ($100 buy in). Been doing nothing but watching games and playing mocks all day. Durant's draft stock tanked hard because of his injury, falling to 17th on yahoo. Depending on what pick I get I'm going to draft him but need strong late round picks to make up for his absence (I expect he'll be rusty and won't be playing like a #1 fantasy player right away too). Who do you guys think this years sleepers are?

Mine are:

Timofey Mozgov
Jameer Nelson
Jeremy Lin
Markieff Morris
Tim Hardaway Jr. (could be Korver like)
Gorgui Deng
Steven Adams
Reggie Jackson
Jared Sullinger
Aaron Brooks

I'm in a shallow league (8 teams), but it's putting pressure on me to not screw up that much more if I get Durant since every team is going to be deep.

I am watching the game and it looked like a pretty bad sprain.

I guess that moves them from 3rd in the east to 4th? I would green font it but some rankings out there actually thought they would do well.

I could not watch that ugly game . Had to turn it off after the half.

IND's fault for not trading him sooner

edit: turned back on. tv still on nbatv from friday. too lazy

Dallas has a horrible bench, I don't buy the Mavericks are great talks.

Come on guys, they can still make the playoffs. They have the great Roy Hibbert

I see them falling out in the West playoff picture. Weak at PG and C, outside of Dirk for 30 minutes a game and flashes from Monta they don't seem good enough to make it out of the West. Rick Carlisle will have a really tough time with this roster.

time to buy low.

I'm actually liking Dallas a lot. Parsons looks like exactly the player they've been needing. He looks like a legit secondary ballhandler and has done a good job of making smart passes and scoring well within the context of the offense. And Nelson is a better fit in Dallas than Calderon.

I think Mahimi has a shoulder injury and should be out for a while.

I think Parsons is a really good fit for the mavs too and the team will still probably be really good. But they were tied for the worst conference record out of the 8 playoff teams in the west with Memphis, not to mention them being the 8 seed. In the West it's just so hard to win, that I don't see them repeating with the lack of depth they have.

Danilo Gallinari - looks solid in preseason. If he stays healthy, look for him to have a great second half.
Bradley Beal - talent is there; injury prone, but if you can draft him at the right price, he'd be a solid pick up.
Draymond Green - multi category player shown to produce in limited minutes; Warriors are very high on him
Tobias Harris - hyped up last year, but for good reason; he's got a lot of potential as witnessed this preseason. He just needs to stay healthy.
