He’s now 4/17 with 15 turnovers over his first two preseason games

He's f'n awful at basketball. I don't care about the occasional hot streak he'll get on, this guy is a total negative.


Three seasons averaging a tripple-double!!! Tell me in the 90s someone would put such a record and I would tell you no way this guy is not in the GOAT conversation. Stats nowadays... :lol:

I'm so impressed by Scottie Barnes. He easily looks like the most polished rookie (all around) to me so far. Nothing he doesn't do well. Instant glue guy contributor to a contending team. Toronto front office might be light years ahead, nobody thought they were gonna touch Barnes.

If the Raps and OKC are both interested in a guy, other teams should take notice. That goes for both Scottie Barnes and Josh Giddey who both teams were reportedly high on

I've seen two games from Suggs so far. And he does look "NBA ready" to me. He had an embarrassing final play last night but aside from that he's very composed for a rookie and ready to be out there. The potential issue I see is the "franchise guy" part. He looks ready to be a role player but he's not asserting himself or impacting the game enough to look like a future star at this point. Just a high end rotation player. Obviously he has a ton of time to turn that around.


I think the guy needs time, instead of everyone making assumptions after the first 3 games of pre-season.

Like... it's the first 3 games of pre-season. It'll take a couple years to judge this draft class at the very least.

Harden and Durant are just unfair offensively.

BK should start James Johnson. They have enough offense and shooting with the big three (even with Kyrie out). Defense and turnovers is how you create separation. Start big three, Johnson, and Claxton, their two best defense guys.

Embiid and 4 shooters looked pretty good in that 1st half. 19 3-pointers in the first half for the Sixers. Embiid with 14 points in 8 minutes...that's enough for tonight.

Isaiah Joe needs to get minutes.

LaMelo is ridiculous. Looks like he might make the leap.

Bouknight is also very good, a natural born scorer. Mitch has been killing it with the draft

They can’t do it alone, it didn’t work in okc and it isn’t going to work now…they have too many chemistry issues and they aren’t coached well either

Glad no bad blood. Pat Bev did a lot for the Clippers locker room, culture and mindset (as annoying as he got towards the end).

Anfernee Simons looks really good so far this preseason. Really looking a lot more comfortable and much more like a PG. Getting to the rim, and setting guys up.
