Suns out there tonight looking like the Warriors at their best with how many shots they are making.

Definitely a very productive off season so far and things turning around with the additions and subtractions of late.

Lose: Jackson, Chriss, Bender, Holmes,

Add: Monty, Rubio, Saric, Baynes, Johnson, Jerome, Kaminsky

I will cheering for this team bigtime, huge Rubio and Saric fan. I expect a decent season.

Rubio, Saric and especially Baynes will have a huge impact. I will be cheering for them hard given how much scrutiny the new GM (James Jones?) received this offseason.

The Celtics looked like that when Kyrie was out injured too. Then he came back and it went back to hero ball, ugly basketball.

Please clarify what your definition of legit is? Is it:

A) a team that shows out in preseason games?

or

B) a team that gets bludgeoned to death in a Playoff series after running their mouths?

Also, if a team is to be taken seriously then its fan base shouldn't need to count "good" preseason wins. :lol:

Was there a reason folks were still trying to say LeBron was a top 3 player just this last offseason, when I said he was clearly aging?

Can the Cavs get to 30 by half?

You can’t tell me chemistry doesn’t matter watching this C’s team fly around the court on both sides of the ball.

If not, some boner will surely create a “Cavaliers Exposed” thread on here.

So is Darius Garland hurt or what? Only 25 minutes of playing time heading into today's game and hasn't entered the game yet. What is going on over there? Its preseason, what is the point of making sure Delly, Knight, and Clarkson all are getting 12-15 minutes in the 1st half but your top 10 pick doesn't even see the court?

this cavs team is hard to watch

26 points and 17 turnovers at the half lol.

I had such high hopes for Cedi Osman. Thought he will be at the very least a serviceable glue guy, but his form is so bad atm.

Post #1396 » by **Duke4life831** » Sun Oct 13, 2019 8:18 pm

Hopefully Zion's effort on defense picks up once the season starts. Just jogged up the court and watch DeRozan just run right by him for an easy basket.

The Spurs game has covered over four live plays with Budweiser replays. wtf

Not like the inbounds. Pretty much the entire play.

Otoh, I don't think the Pels scored on any of those plays.

The announcer just called it "a very forgettable quarter." "The best part is it's over."

Yeah, the part that I didn't see because of the Budweiser commercials was especially "forgettable." Ha.

Dammit they're using the jumbotron stream for the Pelicans/Spurs game.

How many times will the phrase "it's only preseason" be used in this thread on average?
