That one so called Laker fan didn't know Duhon is on the team. Now that's pathetic.

LOL Lakers fans are so phony. They dont even know who is on their team. LMAO at them thinking that Duhon is a good pickup for them lol. LMAO as them thinking he is a good defender lol.

Also Dwight is such a phony. The whole crying because of his first game in LA, what a joke. I guess he is the right place, phony fans-phony star.

I was waiting on someone to bring that up. Literally busted out laughing after reading that piece. He tries WAY TOO HARD to be genuine. You see it even more now since he doesn't play here anymore.

What a bunch of idiots! Haha. I can't wait to until they start realizing that it takes nearly 8 seconds for Duhon to get up half court, or that he'll turn the ball over more times than Dwight will cry.

I cant wait for Kobe to call Dwight out on something. Fight, Fight, Fight....

I don't see Kobe being the type of person to deal with someone being phony to the point of fake crying during their first game on the team. I can imagine Kobe shaking his head when that happened.

Dwight is taking this acting thing a bit too far. He better watch out or it may bite him in the azz when he gets caught lip synching . . .

Poll of GM's in the NBA like Moe and Drew
http://www.nba.com/news/2012-13-gm-survey/index.html

Which rookie is most likely to be a "sleeper" success?
1. Jared Sullinger, Boston -- 17.2%
2. Maurice Harkless, Orlando, Andrew Nicholson, Orlando -- 13.8%
4. Jae Crowder, Dallas, Damian Lillard, Portland -- 10.3%
6. Terrence Jones, Houston -- 6.9%

Like to hear some news on who we're cutting. If we have 16 under contract right now and I'm sure we're trying to keep D Jones somehow. I guess Eyenga and maybe McRoberts or even O'Quinn?

Post #1393 » by **Def Swami** » Tue Oct 23, 2012 12:31 am

A few tweets related to whether Jones makes the team

David Steele ‏@SteeleMagic
@BQRMagic Jones has been a pleasant surprise in camp. Keeping him around will be a numbers game. Gonna be interesting.

David Steele ‏@SteeleMagic
“@ryankroberson: @SteeleMagic @bqrmagic I hope they do keep him? What is your gut feeling?” Can't tell. Could go either way.

Dante Marchitelli ‏@DanteMagic
Hennigan is still evaluating roster but said Jones has played well, done everything they asked.

Even though I think Jones has earned his spot and should make our roster, I don't think it's a lock. I think it's possible that McRoberts or Q end up getting that last spot if Rob sees trade value for them.

I'm glad Nicholson and the Vooch have displayed some talent in the pre-season/summer league. The eye test tells me both players become at least starting caliber players at some point in their career. Hopefully once Harkless plays he can make me optimistic too. He has great measurements and athleticism but can he translate that to an NBA level offensive game? We'll see

BadMofoPimp · Post #1396 » by **BadMofoPimp** » Tue Oct 23, 2012 2:09 am

JRich tore it up tonight. 23pts 6ast 7rbd 2st 1blk 2to +18 which was +11 than any other player on the team. He is a horrible player.

Carlos Arroyo · Post #1397 » by **Carlos Arroyo** » Tue Oct 23, 2012 2:23 am

J-rich sucked here because stan wanted him to be a spot up shooter when he excels in a fast paced offense.

i think Sullinger will be a very serviceable 15/10 player at the height of his career. great body, his rebounding ability is something that can't really be taught, and his back doesn't seem to be the problem it was made out to be - so far.

Crowder looks like he'll be the real 'sleeper' success story of this draft so far. scores in bunches and gets after it on defense. i project him to be a Paul George level talent.

i've got high hopes for Harkless. having seen Nicholson's scoring touch so far, it gives me hope that Henny was on the mark with this kid, too.

No, Jason is just old and played inconsistently. I haven't seen the 76ers offense, but the Magic ran J-Rich off screens and curls, though it looked like J-Rich's lack of skill in the post--despite his size-- contributed to the Magic not running many post-ups for him last season.
