    Everyone is dodging contact, its a non contact scrimmage. Pretty much the same defense that's played in an allstar game. He's not getting off the ground but he's running the floor so no big deal but man Terrence is bigger than Andre Drummond

    This is like a mix between the All Star game (minus all the All Stars) and the Harlem Globetrotters. I feel bad for anyone who paid to see this.

    His 3 point shot looks to be in post-season form.

    I think KJ McDaniels would have been fun to watch in an exhibition like this.

    He's taking advantage of our play style, getting out in the IWC court. It's easier in a scrimmage when there in no d, but good to see none the less.

    Well that was incredibly fun to watch. A little ASG in the dog days of summer.

    TERRENCE JONES!
    -1 really strong flush that sounded like the rim broke. They clipped the first part of it, but came back to the live action soon enough to catch that bruiser dunk.
    -2 really nice above the rim alley oop slam dunks that were well caught considering how far out they were tossed for him to go get.
    -almost had a 3rd highlight reel alley oop dunk but the pass was a little off. He wanted it though. You could hear him yell.

    18 points in 19:52 minutes of play, which was 3rd in scoring for TEAM USA WHITE behind Boogie (24pts) and Plumlee (20pts)

    His FG% was 64.3% which was 2nd for Team White behind Plumlee (84%)

    He was tied for 1st on Team white for efficiency +/- with Draymon Green. They were both +7. Basically when TJ was on the court, Team White was winning and had all the momentum.

    And he got himself a block, tied 1st with Plumlee on Team White in blocks. Only Faried, Elfrid Payton, TJ and Plumlee recorded a block a piece. So he was one of the very few who broke protocol, couldn't help himself and had to go up and erase something.

    Aside from the confident, studly performance, I would say the one biggest take away is that he looks like a whole new beast in tip top shape. I think we saw some of this when he went out almost all of last year, and so he took out his aggression in the weight room. He seriously made Drummond, Green, Griffin, and even Plumlee look small. The only one he didn't make look small was Boogie, but he made Boogie look....undefined.

    Here is a cool pic of TJ & Coach Calipari. I bet Coach was proud of TJ & Boogie leading Team White to the win!

    This can increase his trade value for the rockets . I do not think the rockets can keep both Moti and Jones on the team together, so Jones is likely going to be traded. Wish he can play well.

    bwahahahaha!

    You know what, Austin Rivers, when you play us this time, you'd better leave the stirring to the Chef, and focus on playing some D. You'll have to play some D this time around.

    Don't get me wrong, we're still going to kick your @ss again, daddy ball.

    (I feel like Crede in Crede's musings. I have no idea in the whole wide world how to respond to a Tweet or whatever that is. Hopefully @austinrivers25 gets this message.

    What's a text?)

    Guess Chef Harden put too much salt when he did Rivers up.
