Hate all the whining about pace of game
clips/blazers should be fun tonight. I was actually at the last game of that series when Austin rivers got his face pulped

does the NBA app lag for anyone else, like when you're trying to check box scores sometimes it's blank for a minute before it loads?

also was there not an update? last night i went into the app store to see if they were gonna update it but it doesn't look like there is one

observation: kawhi leonard is a better offensive player than last year

love dewayne dedmon. he's an athletic C who blocks shots and rebounds and is doing a nice DAJ impression. manu is finding him for all kinds of easy looks. 1Q numbers: 4-4 for 8 pts, 2 oreb, 2 blocks.
― 6 god none the richer (m bison), Friday, 28 October 2016 03:12 (seven years ago) link
ya i was skeptical of his mvp contender status but if he can create offense like he did in that first game its legit xp
― lag∞n, Friday, 28 October 2016 03:15 (seven years ago) link
also the spurs starting 5 is gonna need some tweaking. the bench just looks so much more cohesive and dynamic, more ball movement, slashing, fast breaks, 3 pt shooting. pau+lma cant really play long minutes together. kawhi is p much the only starter with legs (tho kyle anderson will not start when danny green comes back from injury).
i know he's no one's idea of a strong defender, but im impressed with david lee's contributions so far. he's still quick on his feet and gives the spurs a guy who can board and shoot and pass well. he's not as creative as boris, but he's already an upgrade over david west.

he worked with kobe this summer and it shows. some of the looks he's creating for himself have been ridiculously kobe-esque
goon why do you hate guys who are good at defense
― k3vin k., Friday, 28 October 2016 03:19 (seven years ago) link
like if he's averaging close to 25, 8 and still defending at a crazy level and the spurs are winning a shitload of games, its def a good chance for him to win it

bc if you can i'll go ahead and guarantee stotts trolls doc and hacks deandre every quarter despite it being game 2 of the season

defense is bad xp
― lag∞n, Friday, 28 October 2016 03:29 (seven years ago) link
spurs offense is p good, defense is trashhhhhhh right now. but this mills-ginobili-juice-lee-dedmon lineup is fun.

went to the game tonight, had been thinking that the hawks were maybe sneakily blowing it up as much as they could get away w/ in this market but idk, there may be a philosophy at work. when dwight first went to the line i muttered 'well, here we go', haven't felt that much of a combination of fraught tension and gooey emotional support since late 90s cat power shows. have to say though the rebounding was definitely refreshing, took some real getting used to. definitely felt weird w/o teague or horford, and there were some very weirdly sloppy moments, dudes clearly not in rhythm yet. already love deandre bembry; he barely played, just a few minutes in garbage time w/ the wiz bench of 'who is this white guy' were in, but he was standing up the whole game, just barking at the players when the ball was on that end of the court, you could tell dude was very happy to be in the nba, at his first game, and him and dennis and kent were clearly already bros. gucci mane was there.
― balls, Friday, 28 October 2016 03:51 (seven years ago) link
also idk how much of this is confirmation bias but got weird vibes from the wiz, like john wall seemed pissy the whole night, i kept thinking 'dude you have 81 more of these'.

file under 'who he play for': ray felton sighted as a clipper. I have the sound off, so I didn't hear if the blazer crowd still boos him as loudly as ever.

blake is looking really good, right back to that second-tier-and-knocking mvp form

harlan on the felton boos: "they're booing him because when he played here in portland... they thought he was fat."
― Clay, Friday, 28 October 2016 04:04 (seven years ago) link
thx. I now see chuck b and shaq flapping their gums, soundlessly, which ratifies my choice to leave the sound muted

kings kinda sonning the spurs on the second end of a back to back (pretend that playing the suns counts as a game)

telling that in crunch time in a close game in the 4th, pau is on the bench and dedmon is in.
― 6 god none the richer (m bison), Friday, 28 October 2016 04:48 (seven years ago) link
uh you guys kawhi is really motherfucking good

kawhi's boring introvert ass being a superstar is the coolest thing
didn't expect blaze and clip to be chippy as hell this early in the season
― Clay, Friday, 28 October 2016 05:17 (seven years ago) link
clips want to make a statement after getting eliminated last year. blazers want to protect their house.
