    Brown, Taylor, Hairston, and Payton should be easy cuts, and vipers. Gonna come down to Oanaku or Wiltjer if they're trying to save room for Dmo. Hope they keep Wiltjer.

    If they are going to keep Wiltjer, it's likely they will trade someone or someones. I'd watch for a two-for-one deal.

    Wiltjer needs to make the final roster one way or the other.

    Is there a video of the granny style free throw? I got a Team Stream update. I was hoping to watch the replay of the game, but it wasn't on NBA League Pass. This new League Pass portal is all screwed up for me...is the game not available because it's preseason (it's been more than 3 hours for a national game to be posted), or am I looking in the wrong place?

    In my opinion, the league should allow for three designated d-league spots to promote the utilization of the d-league model. Most teams have their own d league teams so they need to do it like baseball. player is playing like crap for an extended period of time like Brewer was last year, send his ass down to the d league for two weeks, kid wants to go from high school to the pros, start at the d league. With injuries as well, player gets hurt and is out for six weeks, down down to the d league and get your flow back and then return to the main roster. The nba isn't using the d league to its advantage the way the mlb does.

    The entire league was laughing when chuck hayes went to the line. I mean it's just different right. Props to Onuaku though if he has indeed made this solid routine for him. As long as he makes it right. Airballing FT's to me is far worse and that seems to be a recurring thing year in and year out by bigs these days.

    I think Bima Thug mentioned/quoted/retweeted something that the NBA is looking into expanding the rights teams have in regards to players sent to the D League a week or two ago.

    That's why we're undervalued in vegas though ^

    We made the playoffs last year, and its more or less unanimous that we became better. Several teams on those list got worse, not better.

    Really poor vegas line. I'm surprised. Normally they are very very close.

    I enjoyed waking up for that game this morning, although I fell back asleep during the second half. lol Glad we kept them under 110, even though they lost AD. I think our goal for most of this season to win games will be to keep teams under 110. I doubt we keep most teams under 100, especially the elite teams. But I feel comfortable that we can score 120 a night when we start playing regular season games with our regular rotations and starters playing the most minutes.

    Last year the Rockets had Dwight, Capela, D-Mo, and Josh Smith to play center.

    This year we have Capela and NeNe. No one else. Onuaku can't crack the rotation in preseason. The reason we drafted a center was because we needed one knowing Dwight was not gonna re-sign and Onuaku looks like a bust.

    NeNe has averaged 46 games per season over the past 6 seasons. Can Capela hold up starting in the WC for a full NBA season? What about Anderson and Gordon?

    House always wins.
