Practice facility open

I wonder if we use the same pizza delivery guy?

 

Yep. Couldn't agree more

 

I am a bit nervous about Felton's pocket passes. I have never really watched his game, but pocket passes are so much harder to handle for big men. Hopefully he and LA can work together to develop more of an oop pass

Maybe your pizza was a little more burnt than his?

 

Imagine the difference its going to be for Wallace playing with Felton, who he's familiar with.

I like the makings of this team better than most.

Spurs on the decline, Lakers playing a whole new system (we'll see some drama with Kobe for sure), Mavs and OKC will still be tough. Denver nope. Utah too young. I see us getting homecourt advantage in the playoffs.

 

Totally forgot about the Lakers losing Phil Jackson. That's pretty big.

Spurs this point are definitely old, and younger, more athletic teams(see Memphis last year) give them fits.

Tyson Chandler isn't a lock to go back to Dallas(and Caron Butler is also a free agent)

OKC and Memphis seem to be the teams, with OKC being the toughest. We'll see if Memphis can continue to improve(and isn't Marc Gasol a FA?)

 

Jeez. LA doing 2 a day workouts already.

Here's Elliot's huge alley dunk he had in that Memphis scrimmage during the summer.

Freak athlete. He's got some holes in his game, but he should be good for some outlaw-esque theatrics.

 

Just off the top of my head, I thought he fit VERY well with La Marcus and Wesley.

He has the all the ability in the world to be a pest on the defensive end. It'll be a while before he gets that chance in Portland.

 

I'm excited to see what Williams can do this season. Of course, he'll have to get some minutes to show us anything.

 

You mean the Williams behind Gimp, Matthews, and Batum?

 

Andre Miller fit with everyone except Roy and Nate. And he was the best thing that could ever happen to Greg Oden.

 

Williams will be in the rotation this year and I'm excited to see him. With the compressed schedule we're going to need him.

 

Remember how excited everyone was about Armon Johnson?

 

HCP,
Get your ass out there and film a Road Trippin' show!!! Road trip from NEP to PF!

 

Thinking we'll do our first one on media day whenever that is!

 

I don't remember that. I remember wondering why two supposed NBA players couldn't make their college team more successful. Then I saw him play and thought he was garbage. Williams is one of those raw amazing athletes that get fans like me excited, though, even before we've really seen him play.
