Jason Terry was going to skip the entire preseason but is playing tonight so he can play the Mavericks. That's dedication to being a spiteful jerk.

The knicks broadcast is celebrating like they're winning the championship, it makes me very fearful.

Harden just pulled a Westbrook/Durant. Someone pissed him off and he went and drained a 3.

Dekker is looking pretty good, too.

I didn't even know NBALP had preseason. Awesome.

Also Capela is cool and good

the Rockets are kind of ridiculously deep. I completely forgot we signed Marus Thornton.

That's a nice set of 11 dynasty points there, it would be a shame if 3 rings were to happen with it
The only Suns-Kings feeds I can find have no score. This is probably for the best.

So strange, they were discussing the dismissable concerns about how Kristaps is skinny (he's just turned 20, of course he's scrawny. He'll put on weight. There's other stuff to worry about) while y'know trying to dismiss them a little bit ("he's just turned 20, of course he's scrawny. He'll put on weight.") then he got muscled off the block by an undersized "Euro" (Brazilian Euros, y'know how it is) and they said Welcome To The NBA and I had no idea what to think

anyhow he's a superstar but his neck's weird looking so I'm not fully convinced

melo pummels inferior competition (See: Team USA v. Nigeria, his NCAA career, This Game) it's what he was built for and I like to watch it.

Yeah, but I was hoping for less of it.

Spurs are getting some good looks and not converting. Usually I think great, luck will turn and they'll make some. I'm not confident in these guys to actually make shots though. A peak in to the post Duncan era. Do not like.

I liked McCallum elsewhere and I think he's gonna be real hot off the Spurs bench. Ndoye missed a wide open cutter to end the quarter ugh

I'm kind of mad the Spurs signed Rasual Butler. He can't possibly be good and he's going to take a roster spot because he's old and thats how the spurs work.

He got faked so hard he had to commit a foul, but he didn't even move, that's how slow he is.

If a large part of your offense is going to go through him, I imagine the Spurs are going to play a more methodical, grinding style like they used to.

I'm okay with him posting up a good amount I just hate seeing it at 16 seconds knowing the ball is unlikely to start moving again.

I'd rather see Kawhi with the ball. He's so dreamy.

They'll need to really change the way he plays, he has never been a good passer. Or good at ball handling. Or any offensive movement outside a pick and pop. It'll be interesting to see how he fits in.

Small chance of that...
Curry is already in midseason form. Shame about everyone that isn't a starter for GSW though.

I love Dame, but man he is going to have a rough year.


Aldridge does not look like he fits the Spurs spacing at all and if Duncan goes down they may actually look bad? That's a weird thought.
