J.R. Smith has literally been shanghaied away for the foreshortened 2011-2012 NBA season: rolling ILH sandbox thread

Kris Humphries with 21 and 16. Dude is kinda good at filling up a box score.

it's possible I will watch all 66 Nuggets games.

man I don't even know what's going on with the sixers. can dayo or whomever give me a couple things to look for?

lol it's a mess. I just know what hollinger posted but basically: iggy, evan turner & thaddeus young are people to watch. jrue too

tony battie is still in the league (?!) and on the sixers

rofl @ crunch time huddle convo b/w rubio, darko, anthony tolliver and derrick williams

Anthony tolliver prolly advising Rubio on exchange rates

Derrick Williams looks so bad...

Marcus Fizer comes to mind...

he just looks like he has no idea how to play in an actual offense

he'll have to adjust to playing vs players that are on par with him athletically, which basically never happened in college

he looks so slow to me, and can't finish for shit

having rubio playing at the same time with beasley is such a travesty

kawhi leonard has similar offensive shortcomings, but holy shit can he play d

to me it just looks like he doesn't know what to do w/ the ball so he's just going to the rim and forcing bad shots

he just looks like a slow beasley to me. So uh, maybe don't take him and get one of the centers?

i could not deal w/ beasely on my team if i was a player, coach or fan

RICK

legit don't think beasley should be in the nba

super hated beas

me irl

that travel call on Love was absolute horseshit

Beasley's role in the nba is to create the illusion of competence for awful franchises.

there is sean williams action in dallas, btw

beasley is like they new corey maggette but somehow worse

harden should just be the point guard

yeah, basically

yeah, run an iso post-up for beasley. very solid offense.

harden is such a beast, his development way more important for OKC as contender than Westbrook, imo

treating harden as a spot up shooter is such a mistake.

i think everyone forgot about the whole scott brooks thing when they were unanimously picking OKC to come out of the west

btw the spurs are wompin on the grizz after a turrible 1st q, ginobili is basically ball Jesus for me

they need to quit thinking that westbrook is going to be a true PG. Dude is a slashing SG.

uuugh, russ

champs having a rough start to their title defense

Mavs look so lifeless. Nuggz look like the most fun team ever.

damn, perk

I wanted to post like 10 things about how awesome the nuggz are but held back cuz I didn't want to seem insane.

well they were completely awesome last year

they lack a #1 dude but they are a top to bottom legit squad, the nuggz

fwiw, if ginobili is healthy and splitter had more seasoning, spurs would've taken girzzles down easily last year

like splitter is kind of timid with the ball in hs hands, but he neutralizes Marc gasol p well and sets mad picks

the just in: TJ ford is kind of terrible

Philly looks just not ready to start the season like c'mon mom five more minutes

I was so stunned by how bad Tiago was last year.

he looks a step quicker this year, I'm thinking part of that shitiness was injuries

Kings look OK!

like he's actually shown some athleticism in the post and some aggressiveness in the block as a defender. if he's not starting C by feb I'll eat my hat (or more likely feed it to Dejuan Blair bc he is fat)

xp

Tommy lee jones at the spurs game, no cheap seats for old man

Portland runs now for real it's pretty sweet
