Lebron screening his own player is hilarious!! Old habits I guess.

That's rough. Nothing he can really do. Luckily his headband masks it quite a bit.

Wow i'm surprised. The Kid looks amazing. Can shoot and has a lot of post moves. He has counters and reversals with his lay ups, I never saw that in college even.

I think he'll shift over to the power forward position. Philly might be doing things right afterall.

It's only preseason, but Brook Lopez looks solid. If healthy, he'll have a very productive season under Hollins.

I watched a bit of Chicago at Milwaukee and I gotta say that court in Milwaukee is VERY distracting. The shading on the M is too bright and too much contrast to the rest of the floor.

Lol Lakers getting demolished. It's just Kobe taking fadeaways.

CJ McCollum is nice. Going to be a nice spark plug off the bench for Blazers. Really like his ability to score off the dribble (stepbacks, probing the defense out of the PnR, breaking down the D one-on-one and getting to the rim showing a good burst of explosion on his first step) and can set up his teammates out of the PnR hitting the roller for the foul-line jumper or finding the weakside spot-up shooter when they sink to bump the roller. Good upgrade over Mo Williams if he can stay healthy.
Basketball is like poetry in motion, cross the guy to the left, take him back to the right, he's fallin back, then just J right in his face. Then you look at him and say, "What?" - Jesus Shuttlesworth

Steph Curry should go in the top 3 in a fantasy draft for all of y'all playing fantasy ball, especially with Durant out. Dude is an amazing offensive player. Just put up 25 pts, 6 rebs 6 ast 2 stl 1 bk, 4-7 3 pt FGs in 23 mins of play vs LAL.

Biggest thing to take from that Drummond 9/9 performance is that it wasn't just dunks... 4 or 5 of those 9 were back to the basket type plays. You can see a huge improvement in his post game... elevates up on hooks it in over the defender.

Looks like he travels quite often when backing his man down. Footwork is pretty on key for the most part though... I'm mostly impressed by those assists though! Very crisp passes for a big man!
