    These jerseys look cool with Nike and jordan logos on them.. but when Gatorade, state farm and kia get involved its a wrap
    That's what I said. Orlando is supposed to have a Disney patch on theirs, those sponsor patches are going to have uniforms looking cluttered as ? .

    I like how the teams are mostly going colored jerseys at home now. The Sixers home jersey will be the blue away.

    Yeah, They just scrapped the "home" and "away" theme and teams ar3 just going to wear whatever. I'm sure it'll still go off of what the home team decides to rock for that particular game.

    I don't get how the raptors didn't want Lowry gone after he pussed out in the playoffs. He has NO desire to win a ring. Not even false motivation. Y'all really wanna give a ? like that a max and ride with him? Ok.......

    Sounds like Cam Newton

    Watch yo mouf! Datz my quarterback!
    U troll too much!

    That was just Facts.

    Says the ? with 2 guys that won't be on his team in 2 years . The rest of your squad looks like the g league all stars ? . Foh.

    I was going to jump the last comment but I will just let you ? argue that. I have dont my years worth of 'plaining.

    My thing is Toronto is just trying to stay in contention in a East that is full of teams that are in "The Process"

    Also given how the salary cap is structured. Max deals don't hamstring teams especially if you have they bird rights. Lowry is a damn good player. From what I gathered it was either resign him or go for some elaborate trade. They are still one of the top teams in the EAST. Even though they have no shot this year. Who really has a shot this year?
    Golden State is better now than last year. Who ? with them? Nobody!

    derozen really needs to work on his 3 shooting

    i dont know how he can be so good at mid range shots 1 foot inside the line

    but cant do anything one foot back

    the main problem with derozan though is not so much his offense as its his defense

    or lack thereof

    he may be the most underrated horrible and lazy defender in the league (if there was such a thing)

    his defense is trash and pathetic for someone his size and height. I wish he gave a ? about D as well he would be a much better all around player. its just a lack of effort its not like he cant play defense he just doesnt try at all consistently.

    i remember reading somewhere that he shoots somewhere in the 30s from 3s in the corner but anywhere else is where it really falls off a cliff..some guys just dont have it man he been in the league for almost 10 yrs now and he still cant shoot 3s

    his shot might straighten out if he got a fresh shape up

    his shot trajectory follows the same path as his hairline

    he is going to have more 10-27 shooting nights than 17-27 nights

    3s can make up the difference on those poor nights

    West looks okay but I would just reorder it as

    Blazers/nuggets
    Nuggets/blazers
    Jazz
    Pelicans

    East I wouldn't have miami that low and wizards and hornets that high but who knows

    Last year espn predicted a 40-42 record for the bulls they went 41-41

    this year 28.5 wins only the kings and hawks projected to be worse and that's by 1-1.5 games B)

    If greak freak is an mvp or has an mvp type season wizards or raptors won't make it out the 1st round

    Bucks still haven't really got to see Giannis, Middleton and Parker on the court together....Thon Maker looking like he's going to be a productive player too

    I said if greak freak is an mvp candidate
    The 22-year-old small forward, who's affectionately become known as the Greek Freak, told Bucks TV: "I might be the MVP this year,"

    He been puttin in work this summer all he gotta do is work on his jumper so he can be more effective in the half court.

    for someone like giannis

    he dont even necessarily need to develop a 3 point shot

    a solid/good midrange game would be fine

    i remember when blake first came into the league the guy was garbage outside of 5 feet from the basket but hes come such a long way -- hes not an amazing shooter but blake has become a reliable shooter and is only getting better

    i have high hopes that giannis will be able to do the same
