I think he's going to be fine. Put out a 7/11 from the field just now while walking.

Yeah, he's just having a mulligan game and it's preseason. He'll be fine.

I'm not saying he'll be pedestrian or anything, but I imagine his days as a 10+ FTA per game player is likely over if the refs actually stick with enforcing this.

Harden never needed the refs to be great, he just spent so many years relying on them that it's going to take some getting used to. And he's going to have to avoid the frustration that comes with no longer being spoiled by the refs.

In fairness, he could use a PnR partner and he surely will not find one in this game.


Reed has serious strength issues. He should try to play like Jerami Grant. I think he can play defense as multipositional defender with good deflection numbers. He just need to be a good shooter


Remember how many seasons we were ready to give up on Jerami? His BBIQ looked hopeless when he was here, but at some point, the game slowed down for him and his physical attributes got to shine. Reed has a chance for that to happen, but it’ll be tough with limited playing time.

Last time that happened, his team went to the finals.

Sixers in 4 confirmed.

But hopefully Sam can do what he did with Maxey last year. Mold of clay rn




He gives me Evan Turner vibes, yes I was a ET guy.

Jerami was much younger,no? Also way more athletic.

For their games, the men play by play announcers are impossible to listen to.

Is Simmons guarding Durant when he's playing? I felt like he was trying to get himself on Harden or Irving IIRC.

EDIT: I'm watching the game on ESPN where they posited that commentary.

Pretty sure that's not a thing. Just part of the fantastic world-building for the movie Juwanna Man. Let's ask Andre Iguogala just to be sure.

Kork on Durant is tough to watch. Just brutalized.
