    Poor Joel. I have a feeling he should get used to being dunked on.

    He's practically under the basket, which is a bad place to be. He was either backed in or rotated too slow.

    I don't know why this comes as a surprise. Leonard is a shooting center. Perhaps us fans just didn't want to get hip to the scene before it happened?

    I'm watching a replay of the Orlando/Philly game. One thing I was certain of heading into the draft was that I didn't want to have anything to do with MCW. After watching him multiple times this SL it only reinforces my thought on that.

    With his new contacts, Freeland should be able to clearly see the ball being dunked through the basket.

    Turns out Toronto agrees with me, because they've just signed him.

    Schroeder already made a very nice pass. I really wanted that guy! Bebe looks good, too.

    Everybody's been bitching about these T-shirt shirts that a lot of the teams are wearing. I like 'em! Best thing about them? Removes the call for manscaping.

    Gobert had 10 reb and 3 blocks in 23 minutes. Not bad. Light competition on the other side though.

    His court sense is impressive for a 19 year old pg. Interested to see how he finishes at the rim and even he shows any mid range game. If he doesn't it could really take away from his passing ability.
