    Sheed never averaged 20ppg when he played while he was here. Why would he now?

    In an interview before the 2nd preseason game against Utah, Chauncey said he treats these preseason games as practice. Maybe winning is less of a priority and experimenting other schemes is what they're concerned about.

    I wanna see this team play regular season games with GP2. We play tough teams to start the season but we should have a better idea by Christmas

    He would by far be our 2nd best player and in today's NBA playing Center would destroy fools.

    You are wasting your time posting well thought out posts based on common sense to that dude. I have to remind myself every day of this.

    He could’ve scored 20ppg back then but he wasn’t interested and that wouldn’t change now. I think he would be our best player overall now. Sheed is one of my fave players ever.

    Tari Eason is CRUSHING it.

    He's a boxscore monster.

    But he's been +/- negative for the majority of the games somehow.

    And now the preseason is gone. Don't let the door hit you on your way outta here. That was fucking awful.

    All of these guys talking about how they got to the facilities like three or four weeks before camp and then come out and look like they didn't even have a camp. Kind of a head scratcher but I guess we'll see how things go when the games start to matter in a little over a week. I know one thing seems to be consistent from every year since the LMA, Wes, Nic, RoLo mass exodus... we can not seem to defend the three ball... holy fucking shit we get lit up.

    Let's keep our fingers crossed that this hasn't been indicative of how our season is going to go because if it is... we won't win one game. We lost to every NBA team we played in the preseason.

    Wow, I wish I had players like Norman Powell coming off our bench this season. Roco as well.

    He is in his 20th season and is playing amazing. Do you not agree with this? Didn’t you say 3 years ago how “old” he was looking? I can’t remember.

    In fact, I believe they are now favored to win the West partially because of the depth and strength of their bench. Strange that if you truly believe we have a better bench than they do, why they aren’t predicting us to win more than 39 games bro? Your opinoin.

    I didn’t realize Minny picked up Kyle Anderson. That’s a great addition to their squad. I think Memphis will miss him.

    Buahahahahahah. I read today that Hart is way better than Powell.

    The hate this man gets is ridiculous. Powell is a good player who played out of position for us.
