Is he still taking the bus to games?

Terrence Ross having a tough time, he's got horrible handles

Bennett looks awful so far in the preseason. Doesn't seem to have a high bball IQ at this stage of his rookie campaign

I remember liking Ross coming out but he hasn't looked good at all in the NBA so far.

That's not true. He had a pretty good rookie campaign.

Looks like Bennett found a groove, but I didn't see it. Just a boxscore glance.

DeRozan 7-15, 5 rebounds, 2 assists, 20 points. NOT GOOD ENOUGH :evil:

It would be hysterical if they rebranded with that logo.

14 in the fourth to lead the Cavs to the win.

Wow super clutch bullox

Good for Bennett. That was really impressive.

I'll say this, he didn't do it against Toby.

Bennett with that mix of size, handles and shooting touch is going to be a **** offensive monster.

His upside is 'Melo, and he's got no-where near that kind of skill yet.

So a blackhole that's too fat to play defense. Sounds promising.

Size is one of the knocks on him- 6'7" pudgy PF who is a little too in love with the perimeter. A set of highlights taken from one game is misleading - so far he is shooting around 35%.

He has ZERO chance to be in the Melo category. If he could get conditioned to 225 I think he could be a poor man's Deng. Oladipo should have been the pick- Cavs should have traded out of the pick. That said, I think the Cavs will have a decent team- for me that means one less team in the Bucks way come Draft time.

He did some of it against Nicholson, maybe Andrew was taking one for the entire nation.(Canada of course)

After reading that SI article, if you're the Raptors how do you not try and tank for Wiggins. I would start the firesale immediately.

Hard sell to the fans when you give away a 1st to get Lowry, then Ed Davis to get Rudy Gay and then blow it up? I agree they should have dumped Gay but I can see where fan backlash could be bad.

I read that as last man left in LA goes down with the ship. If my career was winding down that is pretty much the last situation I would want to be in (tied to a proud team with an aged Kobe trying to score enough points to catch Jabaar as all the fans blame me for the team's lack of success).
