2014 NBA Preseason Discussion Thread

Paul Pierce in a Wizards jersey is the weirdest thing ever.

 

Surprise surprise, Kobe looks good

Heavy iso ball, though

 

Pistons with SVG look good against Bulls, lots of feeds for Drummond

 

Rubio stinks. 1-6 FG and let George Hill beast all over him.

 

Golden State looking good. Much better ball movement already. I do like them if Kerr is good. Brandon Rush is a nice addition back

 

serious game between Warriors and Clips

But can the fat lump Windhorst even run?

Pics or it didn't happen.

 

Spurs just got beat by Alba Berlin on a buzzer-beating running bank shot. I know you shouldn't take away too much from a preseason game since, well, it's preseason, but it is nice to see a German team beat the NBA champs. Parker and Duncan played almost 33 minutes, Kawhi played 29, so it's not like the Spurs were just letting the bench play. All in all, pretty interesting game.

 

how does a championship team lose to a non-nba no-name scrub team?

 

because its a preseason meaningless game

 

I like how he says he "ran" into them, as if it just happened by chance. lol

 

seems to me like the spurs tried pretty hard

 

Whether they tried hard or not, I doubt they game planned or are really bothered at this point

 

Sixers are actually very fun to watch, especially Wroten! That boy is crafty and they have some nice shooters. Noel looks solid and I don't think they are that bad.

Hornets are okay, but man it's going to be tough to win games if Lance and PJ Hairston keep hoisting up shots the way they do. MKG really looks like he's fixed that shot, hit all FTs so far and just looked very solid. Their PG position is set and boy it's nice to see a team where a coach and the players have a system of body movement, a lot of cuts and screens.

 

I didn't watch the game but Lance was 4/10 FG, 2-3 from 3. Not exactly chucking territory.

 

Over or Under? Derek Fisher sacked by All-Star weekend?

 

Tonay Wrotäään. Wish we would've drafted the guy, been a fan since college.

 

That's why the boxscore is not enough, you should've done the eye test
No but seriously, you see I posted after the first half and he was 2 for 7 in the first half. There was 2-3 minute stretch where he just took rushed shots, try to do it all by himself and PJ Hairston got the ball twice and immediately fired it up. I was just saying if they keep that up, it's going be tough because they both seem like the type who want to do it all by themselves.
