    Detroit was ahead the whole game until Jackson showed why OKC let Maynor go. He had 35 points, 23 in the 4th quarter. The Orlando SL record had been 34. OKC won 79-75. Steven Adams was inconsequential, much less active than Olynik in the 8:00 game. Caldwell-Pope had 19 and Mitchell was good. But it was all Jackson at the end. Kevin McHale was there. Scotty Brooks was too.

    Edit: Yes, Drummond was lousy today. I missed Monday, but on the weekend his defense was great. Maybe he faced better coaching today in Scott Brooks and whichever assistant was in charge.

    That 4th quarter was a good example of why PG's are now so much more important than centers.
    Drummond had no chance of stopping Jackson attack the rim. He tried to get over in time, but was just too slow. Of course in the 80's one of the bad boys from Detroit would fouled him so hard Jackson would have stopped trying. I am glad they have cleaned that part up.

    Speaking of Bad Boys, Joe DuMars was there. Adams went 1 for 2 at 18-footers, but unlike Olynik, who has shot outside better and on the move, Adams needed 3 seconds to square himself facing the basket and carefully aim before releasing. Adams is a project and Olynik is ready now. I'm quitting for the day. Saturday, when the Blazers start, this thread will be hopping, hopefully.

    Reggie Jackson did not exactly prove himself a PG in this game. He's their Harden replacement, not their backup PG. But yeah, he looked good. Wanna get depressed all over again?
    21. Trail Blazers Nolan Smith SG
    22. Nuggets Kenneth Faried PF
    23. Rockets Nikola Mirotic SF
    24. Thunder Reggie Jackson PG
    25. Celtics Marshon Brooks SG
    28. Bulls Norris Cole PG
    29. Spurs Cory Joseph PG
    30. Bulls Jimmy Butler SF

    And here's the Drummond effect: Detroit has played 3 games. Drummond played in 2, which were very close. In the one he sat out, they lost by 30.

    But yes, he is ridiculously raw. However, perhaps more worryingly for Detroit, so is Caldwell-Pope. And Siva is not an NBA player.

    Olynyk is definitely the class of this league. He should be able to score in the real league, no problem. Very polished. But God Damn I hate the Fabio hair.

    Watching Rasheed coach is almost more fun than watching the game.

    He just put up 32 points. I wouldn't read anything into him not playing

    With no more Kevin Martin in OKC, he's got an opportunity at least.

    Kendall Gill just said that Reggie Jackson will leave OKC in the next couple of years because he's too good to be a backup. Let's suppose that's true: maybe OKC could offer Westbrook to Detroit for Andre Drummond?

    This final is fun! Young, the kid from Arkansas who worked out for the Blazers, is one of the no-names clawing the Rockets back into it.

    The Orlando SL sucks. Barely any players to watch for.
