So i am seeing Harden added a one-legged step back to his game and my question is this...

But why?

He should’ve practiced dribbling and driving with his off hand. The Bucks exposed him.

Yep.He has that laser pass with his left hand to the right corner but Bledsoe being glued to his left side and Giannis camping between the corner and the paint took it away and he couldnt do the same with his right hand.Working on that and a mid range shot would have been far better than this stupid move he did. :noway:

I like Harden's new shot and he might even hit a quarter of them.

So rod thorn hired by the wizards. Nice. When did we let him go?

If Embiid is serious about fitness* he could be the MVP this year.

*No, not 'fitness whole cheesesteak in his mouth at once.'

It gives him the best chance going forward, but it's not like all the previous injuries just unhappen. There will be changes to his body's mechanics that will have ongoing implications.

I think Philly was smart bringing in a big to help cover Embiid, but I'm not sure Horford is the right age...

Brogdon with 14 assists to just 2 turnovers in his debut as the Pacers PG. But I thought he couldn't play PG. He can't pass. He has no vision. Huh.

He had a great debut in his preseason OT win against the Kings in Mumbai.

Yeah, I watched the game, Malcom was the best man on the floor.
I felt a liitle sad we let him go

The Pacers are dangerous. Brogdon-Oladipo-Warren-Sabonis-Turner is a formidable starting 5. They don't have good depth, but that doesn't matter as much come the playoffs, unless they experience attrition.

And the Bucks helped them strengthen the squad of a rival while hurting themselves. That doesn't exactly sit well.

I’m not thrilled about losing Brogdon and thought he was very valuable to our team, but good grief it’s 1 preseason game.

Aren't Brogdon and Oladipo the definition of attrition at this point? Turner has pretty much stagnated and Warren will take shots away from other guys. Iunno, last season they seemed to play over their potential; I don't know if that will happen again. But I've been wrong before and will be again!

Will wait to make judgement on anyone until the regular season starts.

Rashad Vaughn looked like a star in the preseason.

Agreed, but I wouldn't be at all shocked it if becomes the norm throughout the regular season as well.

Don’t worry it won’t

I hear we have a preseason game on Monday against the Bulls.

If they're really foolishly committed to running that Warren/Sabonis/Turner starting front court, then the spacing on that team is pretty atrocious, especially if Dipo won't be back until mid-season. They have like, what, 3 above average 3PT shooters on that entire roster?

I wouldn't be shocked if his various hip, foot and back ailments cause him to miss a quarter of the season.

Zion only 6'6". Need to see more measurements! I think Brook Lopez is 7'9" for instance. Dude looks like a giant. Am I close?
