not super cool with some commercial ironically deploying "perfect day" just yet :(

Derrick Rose MVP defense

wade not doing anything out there

mike dunleavy jr. playing like mike dunleavy sr.

Wade looks pretty fucking bad for game 1 of the season

also this thing where i can't tell wade and ray allen apart is not cool

yeah wade with the shaved head moves like ray allen and looks like joel anthony on my tv

god, i despise dwyane wade

man wade looks awful

he says as wade makes a layup and 1

sikk pass by bron

if wade can't post heinrich up he needs to pack it up

like he seems out of shape even

getting yr ankles broken by norris cole, embarrassing

heats looking good now

Wade's lack of hops here is pretty shocking

holy shit guys i think lebron is p good at basketball

btw I really like Tony Snell

bRoN !!

bosh 3 ;)

bulls shooting ~23% from the floor

wow bron

omg Iceman James

fuck me, lebron is out of this dang world

bron basically waited that extra beat so snell would realize what was gonna happen to him, and only then went baseline

then he torches him in the open floor three plays later

yeah that was gervin-esque xxp

lebron is the second coming of bill russell

i was a year early on the bosh 3 pointer thing

Bulls MVP Carlos Boozer

Wade's lack of hops here is pretty shocking

wade's been some combination of hurt/cooked/old for three years running now, not really a surprise

i mean for a guy still generally considered one of the best in the league

he also usually looks terrible at the beginning and end of season now and can let lebron carry those parts

that was pretty wide open though, you gotta shoot at least 60% from there to be good right

Greg Oden is listed as inactive btw

which sucks cuz this looks like a game where he could get some run

actually these heat unis look like laker white unis

it'd be kinda weird/appropriate if those 3 minutes in one preseason game constituted the entirety of oden's comeback attempt but i'm getting ahead of myself

Pippen looks like he's 35

hibbert has 16 rebounds and 7 blocks so far tonight

...against the magic

aaaaaand hibbert is down and grabbing his knee

don't think anybody touched hibbert there!

yeah that's why it's kinda worrisome...

I'm not sure wtf Jacque Vaughn was thinking by starting Maxiell. Looks about 30 pounds overweight.

probably just a torn ACL.

Btw wtf is up with this blue pacers court. When did they change it. A fucking disgrace

hibbert is up and walking, looks ok

scary

hinrich looks like robocop
