Awesome, the alley oop from Pruitt wasn't bad either. And who can forget the one handed flush by Paddy O'Bryant?

Indeed.

NBA, get used to it. Sir William has arrived.

It was sweet that it was against Ratliff. Everyone hates on Blount but I personally think Ratliff dogged it for us with bogus injuries..

Yea didn't he even admit it at some point? I remember a quote from his agent saying that he would've played if we were competitive or some lame crap like that. Funny that KG had that monster poster on him in the ECF last year too.

When I saw the dunk and the bench's reaction, the only thing I thought of was "This is going to get some Raptors fans mad". :lol:

^Haha. We'll have to trot JR and Walker Kansas Ranger out for the end of one of the Raptors game. I don't think Theo has the vertical to meet people at the hoop anymore, or block as many shots as he used to. Probably why the Pistons let him go.

I'm not going to overreact to 1 preseason game because although Walker looked very good it is still only preseason.

That being said, anybody who believed in Gerald Green or Kedrick Brown because of their ridiculous athleticism should watch Bill Walker and see what a basketball player who is gifted looks like in comparison. Walker reminds me of Tony Allen and Delonte West picks. He just knows how to mix it up and if he can remain healthy and athletic we got ourselves a fine player off the bench.
"I think the criticism's stupid," Stevens said. "So I don't care. I'm with Jaylen (Brown) on that. Those two had achieved more than most 25 and 26 year olds ever had. I'd rather be in the mix and have my guts ripped out than suck."
