NBA pre-season starts tomorrow!!!

[eathb]

KENYON MARTIN 11/5 and 2 ally oop dunks in 14 minutes against Yi.

He had Kidd feeding him passes.
Now he has AI, but not a good chest pass, but an ally-oop one!

 

[Darealrath]

Pacers looking good thus far, 3 wins from 3 starts. The bonus has been the 3 leading scorers have been different in all the games (Dunleavy, Diener and
Diogu).

I think we'll be OK this and just sneak into the playoffs.

Same mate. I don't get the lottery talk. We should improve on last season.

I tend to agree. We will be a solid team that will rely on everyone contributing, rather than just a few superstars.

Rumor going around that Kobe has been traded to Dallas for Josh Howard, Jason Terry and 2 first rounders.

Kobe and Phil Jackson didn't deny that when they got asked

Also Kobe missed 3 straight training sessions and also had a few things removed from his locker.

NOT ENOUGH!!!

could howard be suspended for his shot on brad miller?

actually come to think of it, not a bad lineup

C: bynum
PF: odom
SF: howard
SG: terry
PG: fisher

but of course no one can replace kobe

That lineup is pretty bad to be honest. I'd like to see how Odom and Fisher defend at their positions against quality opponents.

The only team definitely worse than the Pacers in the East is Philly. Then it's a crap shoot between NY, Indiana, Atlanta and Miami for lottery positioning. Preseason wins mean jack-all.

nah, odom players the PF well. although hes not a monster he's quick and not to be underestimated. fishers D is really good but he's not the player he used to do.

odom always gives garnett the shits.

anyway im not saying thats an awesome lineup

Finally players are warming up and getting some decent numbers.

Pistons 119 - Nuggets 110

JR Smith 33 points. Whatever happened in the scenario where his mate was killed in the crash, never had a case to answer?

Bobby Ray Jones hit 10 times his average last season.

Najera 12-11-6.

Maxiel shot well, 25-12-4

Pacers 122- Grizzlies 115

Mike Conley Jr. 11 points, 10 assists

Rudy Gay 22 points

Raptors 105 - Zalgiris Kaunas 99

TJ Ford - 24 mins, 13 points, 11 assists

Boston 101 - Knicks 61

No NYK player got double figures.

No box score to laugh at unfortunately.

Orlando 90 - Cavs 86

Howard, 31 points (13-16 FT ), 14 rebounds

Nelson 24 points, 6 assists, 2 turnovers

Redick had a downer. Lewis still didnt play coz of that sprained ankle.

Ziggy, 12-9

Lebron, 17-1-3

Utah 101 - Philly 93

NBA only have 1Q stats but Brewer already had 12 by then.

Deron Williams already had 7 assists.

An interesting comparison, Utah had 13 assists in the 1st quarter, Philly had 1.

 

[peternorth]

Boston 101 - Knicks 61

No NYK player got double figures.

No box score to laugh at unfortunately.

i think the boxscore resembled an international call to a mobile phone

3 9 7 2 9 2 7 4 0 2 3 0 0 0 5 4 4

call me now.

incidentally house's wearing no 1 now instead of 20.

Bobby Jones to start for the Nuggets and win ROY

We finished 9th of 15 teams. With our best player on one leg for half the season. Obviously Boston will make the leap but I see us improving on performance at least with Dunleavy and Murphy having time to settle. If Daniels plays 70 games we make the playoffs.

Bobby Jones to start for the Nuggets and win ROY

Its his 2nd year sorry to tell ya.

 

[PHX]

Orlando 116 - China national team 92

Dwight 13 mins, 12 points 4 rebounds

Arroyo 25 points 9 assists, Hedo 17-3-3

Atlanta 104 - Charlotte 98

Horford again - 70%fg, 22 points, 12 rebounds with only 2 turnovers.

Wallace, 34 points 10 rebounds

Okafor played 45 minutes for only 8-2-2 which is interesting.



Btw NYK shot 25% in that 40 point loss to Boston yesterday! Jamaal 0-8, Randolph 3-12 Q-RIch 1-7

 

[eathb]

Knicks find revenge from the 40 point thrashing from Celtics and beat them.

Kept the big 3 scoreless in the 4th quarter!

[celtic_pride]

BTW I'm more interested in the World Series right now then the NBA/Celtics ...

3 more games baby until beantown celebrates again, and then I can focus on hoops ..

I've never really been interested in the pre-season to be honest.
