Rowand44 Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 QUOTE (Knuckles @ Oct 31, 2013 -> 01:04 AM) So Heat lost, Nets lost. Gonna be a fun season fellas. I'm not high on the Nets at all but they'll be much better later in the season than they are at the beginning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bmags Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 It's funny, yesterday a sixers fan friend of mine posted an article about how the 6ers are not trying to lose this season, but just didn't care about winning. Sure enough, team looks like it's a lot of efficient role players who will play hard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derrick Rose missed the morning shootaround with a sore neck and is a game-time decision for Friday's game. This news seems relatively benign as it pertains to Rose's neck and not his surgically repaired knee. Rose said he's fine and plans to play in Thursday's game against New York.

knightni Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 QUOTE (bmags @ Oct 30, 2013 -> 06:31 PM) I commented to my friend about how I thought Tony Snell missing the 3 straight 3pointers fed to him in the same possession was more embarrassing than an open dunk. He disagreed and gave this list : level 1: getting eyed (pull up in your face, usually following trash talk) level 2: getting crossed over level 2.5 (my addition): Taj Gibson clapping at Bosh to come at him only to easily get taken level 3: getting dunked on level 4: missing dunk level 5: ankle breaker crossover level 6: scoring in your own basket Anything we're missing?

Right but winning 22 games is a far cry from people thinking this would be the worst team of all time. The article wasn't arguing they'd be a playoff team, just that they would be a lock to win over 17 (especially with other teams that will be tanking) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZoomSlowik Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 i gotta admit, I think Phoenix is worse than Philly now. That team is garbage outside of Bledsoe and Dragic, who play the same position. Young and Turner are decent NBA players and you could do worse than Spencer Hawes inside. Then there's Carter-Williams, who most people probably expected to average 8-4-5 with under 40% shooting and over 3 turnovers. If they get anything from him, they'll beat some of these awful teams. Then again, they have like 6 NBA-caliber players and no one that I'd say is a top-3 scorer on a contender, so under 17 is still possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
