I think Houston is worse than SAC, DAL and GS. We'll see.

Any contender looking for a stretch 4 could find use for Al. At the end of the season he can be waived as the last 2 years on his contract are unguaranteed.

We definitely will see. For what it's worth, Harden averages more free throw attempts per game than Golden State's entire backcourt (Curry/Thompson/Rush). That's pretty sad.

LEBRON DON'T HURT EM.

I need a cigarette.

Not sure if Cleveland is going to be somewhat decent, or Washington is just that bad...

Nice debut for Dion Waiters. I expected more from Beal.

JRTPlaya21 · 10-30-2012, 08:28 PM

I think the Cavs can be somewhat decent. Kyrie & Waiters are a sick backcourt.

Both. Irving is going to be a top 15 player by the end of the year.

I tweeted the exact same thing earlier.

What happened to Wall and Nene?

Beal is a jump shooter. Good kid but he's not a scorer. I always thought he was severely overated, even back when he was playing AAU.

He's already there.

Avg pick in Yahoo Fantasy Leagues... 14.2.

Wall is out for like a month or so I think. I thought I saw Nene in preseason.

I thought about saying 10, probably should have.

Not that your fantasy rankings mean anything.

I'm not sure if Dunit was joking with that or not.

He needs to work on a lot of things, first. Still turned the ball over too much tonight, and looked for his shot far too often. He needs to run the offense more efficiently, and when he plays a real team, it'll be more apparent.

Why shouldn't he look for his shot often? Alonzo Gee starts for that team.

It was a half cracked joke. It means something but it doesn't mean anything. Kyrie is a stud and where he ranks doesn't mean anything. Just had a thought though... imagine if he was still at Duke. I really wish the NBA would follow the same thing as the NFL.

Because otherwise he'll turn into a Rose clone. And Gee isn't a bad player, if that's what you're inferring. Walton is awful, though. Not sure why he's around.

I wish my team had a Rose clone.

He's certainly not a good one.

He's a perfectly solid starter.
