Wilbon was also dropped.... doris burke and doug collins will replace them.

I cannot stand Doris Burke, Magic Johnson, or Wilbon. 2 out of 3 fired is good for me.

I don't like those three either. Magic is a terrible analyst... and Wilbon was just Magic's lap dog. I have a feeling Doris will be gone within a year or two...

Lol thanks......came from left field for sure. She normally hates going to games but all of my buddies bailed on getting season tickets with me sooo she stepped up to the plate lol. I'm sure she'll go to half if that but I can resell hers or take friends which is good! So siked for this year now.

Once I get my harkless jersey I'll be set!

Curious about where you heard that from. Has anyone else heard this same thing? I did a quick google search and came up empty. I am really looking forward to finally seeing Oladipo play in with/against real NBA player in a real NBA setting.

I'm also looking forward to Nelson and Afflalo being -37 for the game.

kind of OT, but when reading about oladipo comparisons, why does nobody ever bring up gary payton? lockdown defender, wasnt a crazy big assist man until like 7 years in the league but obviously can run the point, was around 6'4 - weird that you never hear that comparison

Interesting, and Payton was also a #2 pick, similar size and playing style. I think its too early to even suggest that comparison though because he is a Hall of Famer.

While we'll still thankfully be able to watch a stream of it, I'll be pissed if it does get blacked out. I'm already annoyed that Fox Sports Florida isn't broadcasting them, so it will be even more annoying if they black out the NBATV games as well. Besides, I always thought the whole blackout thing had more to do with Fox Sports Florida having the rights to broadcast the game in this area, so therefore shouldn't it be fine since they aren't showing the game? Anyways, I hope that brighthouse lady is right and it will be on.

They always black out nbatv for local games, I think it's like if you're 150 miles from the arena.

Edit: didn't realize the changes.

I made that comparison once during Summer League, in terms of his ability to pressure other guards, be a nat, play passing lanes well, stuff the stat sheets. Like you mentioned, they're 6'4" guards.

What if the Magic draft Julius Randle next season?

We'd have a reincarnation of the 90's Sonics Teams with GP and the Reignman.

I like the Oladipo-Payton comparision, different personalities though.

Suprised that Orton was realised, went to the game in Manchester and he did a good job against the Sixers, BIG dude aswell. I wonder who will pick him up?
