Have a friend who had what Jennings has now when he got his wisdom teeth removed. He is one of the toughest people I know and does olympic weightlifting. He was out for a couple weeks and on a lot of painkillers.

Looks like Bogut and GS are close on an extension, good for him. Wish him the best.

(Also he lied to the Warriors and told them he broke his ankle playing pick up ball)

Then he got traded to us a season later and one of the GS board's mods came over here and told us he was a high character guy and great teammate.

True story.

To be fair, I'd be pretty embarrassed to admit I broke an ankle riding a moped.

If only it was embarrassment that caused him to lie rather than trying to avoid a fine or possible suspension.

I highly doubt Jennings' injury was from a fight.

First time watching Houston this preseason. they're going to shoot a lot of wide open threes this season. Still can't stand Dwight.

Motiejunas looking just awful lol, and I don't just mean his haircut.

It wasn't a fight, more that Jennings got punched in the face.

I like to imagine after he said 'Come at me, bro'.

Kind of sad, but I loath probably the two "best" players in the league in LBJ and Howard.

With Howard, I honestly see a less talented perhaps slightly more athletic Shaq. I love athleticism, but not when there is nearly zero basketball skill involved.

Still lost on D? I liked his skills before he was drafted but was worried he was too frail then he comes over about 300% bigger but he doesn't look like he's ever been on the defensive side of the court ever.

AussieBuck · Post #174 » by **AussieBuck** » Thu Oct 17, 2013 11:40 am

Howard could be second best in the league if he wasn't a giant penis. The guy refused to play pick and roll with Steve Nash because he wanted to iso in the post. Stupidest thing in the NBA since Sprewell decided to not take $21 million dollars he was clearly going to need. He deserves nothing other than mass groin kicking. I really like What Morey has done in Houston but the diffrence in wins depending on whether or not Howard has his head up his ass is probably around 10-15. How do you stop a Harden/Howard pick and roll game if they add a PF who can shoot threes and not be totally terrible at D? They could run at 120 PP100.

It was only a specific 15 minutes but he was living a nightmare. Lost on D, O fouls, turnovers and no shots that weren't jack happy 3's. he wouldn't have lasted 2 minutes in the regular season. It was, as they say in the classics, really bad.

Might have just tuned in at the wrong time, I liked a bit of his game last year. Holy sh*t he's got a bad haircut though.

Yup. They'll go through stretches where they are unstoppable this season, but unfortunately giant penis syndrome never goes away

He'll remember that this is his team, get pissy that Harden is hogging it and demand a dozen clear outs a game.

He had Vuc guarding him today and all he wanted to do was iso pound the ball in the low post before trying his best Shaq-minus-the-skill power force. Luckily for him Vuc was stupid enough to foul him a few times.

Bucks ESPN preview coming soon, as evidenced by this spoiler:

Spoiler:

ESPN had the images of the players on the website the whole time. Someone on reddit put them together.

A bit of a surprise at #1. (check the image link)

People are freaking out in the comment section b/c they haven't done a Bucks one. It's hilarious.
