My lock of the day is Minnesota -1vs the Memphis.

http://www.espn.com/nba/lines

[spursistan]

Wolves/Gizz and Lakers/HOU are kind of watchable..all 4 teams with new coaches..

[TheCultOfPersonality]

Grizzlies starting lineup announced.

Mike Conley
Andrew Harrison :lmao
James Ennis
JaMychal Green
Marc Gasol

Injured: Tony Allen (OUT), Chandler Parsons (OUT), Brandon "Glass Man" Wright(OUT), Jarrell Martin (questionable)

[spursistan]

How fuckin' sad the Miami starting linuep if you witnessed glory in the Heatles era just a couple years ago :lol..

[Raven]

Wolves/Gizz and Lakers/HOU are kind of watchable..all 4 teams with new coaches..

That usually translates to unwatchable

[spursistan]

Bogut 4 pts/4reb/2blk already in half Q :wow

[D-Wade]

How fuckin' sad the Miami starting linuep if you witnessed glory in the Heatles era just a couple years ago :lol..

Still can't believe #3 isn't out there tbh :cry

[RsxPiimp]

lakers beat the rockets fa sho.

[Chris]

Lakers are fun again!

[spursistan]

Still can't believe #3 isn't out there tbh :cry
Yep, Riley clearly overplayed his hand in the Wade FA assuming they at least still wanted him back..Even the Spurs ended-up overpaying for their fan favourite and legend (Manu) in this market..

It is probably time for Pat to retire and for the Heat to hand the executive decisions to a young generation-type as they go the rebuild route..I think he has lost his touch and won't be able to attract marquee players to Miami considering the bad terms his relationships with Lebron/Dwayne/Bosh ended on..

[spursistan]

Wes Mathews never been the same after the Achilles injury..

[TheCultOfPersonality]

Less than 2 minutes into the game and the Timberwolves are already up 9-0.

[apalisoc_9]

Dat philly starting lineup is fun to watch, tbh. :lol

[TheCultOfPersonality]

Timberwolves 16 Grizzlies 1

:lmao

[ace3g]

need a gif of that Philly fan giving Westbrook the one finger salute

[Spurs9]

That Philly fan against Westbrook :lmao we need a gif :lol

[myhc]

lol At the fat philly tub o' lard giving the double finger salute and yelling fuck you to westbrook. what a fucking coward.

[Robz4000]

Yep, Minny is gonna be tough this year.

[Clipper Nation]

lol At the fat philly tub o' lard giving the double finger salute and yelling fuck you to westbrook. what a fucking coward.
Yeah, why flip off Alphabrook? Save that for when Golden State comes to town and flip off Durbeta instead. He's so mentally fragile, he wouldn't make a single shot after that and would have to go crying to his mommy again.

[Silver&Black]

Timberwolves 16 Grizzlies 1

:lmao

Ouch. You did have it as your lock of the night though. So there's that I guess.

[myhc]

Did anybody see that play at the end of the 1st quarter where Vic Oladipo gets his shot blocked, the ball almost goes out of bound, he recovers it, could have passed it to a wide open Kanter 2 feet from the basket but decides to be a selfish fuck, keeps it to try to dunk it and gets stuffed again. LOL fuck that dude. Kanter was pissed.

[myhc]

And then Nick fucking Stauskus with the blow by Oladipo. Fuck that dude again :lol

[TheCultOfPersonality]

Ouch. You did have it as your lock of the night though. So there's that I guess.
It was 20-3 at one point but they Grizzlies made it closer going 6-9 from in the 1st quarter.

[benefactor]

Embiid is that nigga

[RsxPiimp]

:lol

[spursistan]

Keep an eye on Alvin Gentry..he is my candidate for the shocking, early coach firing that happens every season in the NBA..

[spursistan]

Myles Turner will get most improved player award..Beast..

[spursistan]

actually an entertaining game in Indy :lol

[D-Wade]

Oladipo can't even dribble :lol

edit: or catch lobs

[TheCultOfPersonality]

Grizzlies get the lead after sucking early.

[benefactor]

Barnes going clutch tbh

[TheCultOfPersonality]

James Ennis picking up where he left off when he was with the Pelicans.

[spursistan]

Barnes going clutch tbh
wide open tbh:lol

[spursistan]

actually an entertaining game in Indy :lol

[Spurs9]

This is gonna be a fun Philly team to watch when the other guys come back.

[benefactor]

Turner breaking out could put Indy right back in the hunt. Matchup nightmare tbh.

[D-Wade]

Damn Myles

[Robz4000]

Turner breaking out could put Indy right back in the hunt. Matchup nightmare tbh.

What could've been if he stayed at UT another year.

[140]

Non-issue.

[benefactor]

Embiid with the footwork

[TheCultOfPersonality]

Anthony Davis - 48 pts 15 reb 5 ast 6stl 4blk :wow

[TheCultOfPersonality]

Mike Conley with the dagger.

[Silver&Black]

Typical 6ers

[Spurs9]

Wow Emiid can ball though, imagine if Simmons and Noel were available.

[Spurs9]

Wow this davis statline going for 50

[313]

Ant Davis 1 block short of a 50 5x5 which would've been the first time that happened since....ever.

Oh and the Pelicans still lost :lol

[baseline bum]

LOL Mark Jackson liked the Mozgov signing. :lol

[Robz4000]

LOL Mark Jackson liked the Mozgov signing. :lol

:lol I chuckled when I heard that. Lakers should've hired him as their coach.

[tonight...you]

LOL Mark Jackson liked the Mozgov signing. :lol

The only thing that makes me lament his coaching acumen is that he has to be forced upon us, calling games.
God, someone hire this man!!!

[apalisoc_9]

LOL Mark Jackson liked the Mozgov signing. :lol

Lol Warriors goes on to average 70 wins in two seasons without him

[Silver&Black]

Rockets on pace for 224 points tonight...

[Robz4000]

Rockets on pace for 224 points tonight...

:lol so are the Lelkers
:lol these defensive juggarnauts

[RD2191]

I've been saying it for years, the NBA needs to contract to at least 6-8 franchises. It's sad and pathetic seeing a talent like AD being wasted on a shit franchise that you know will never even come close to being a title contender.

[Silver&Black]

:lol these defensive juggarnauts :lol Today's NBA

[Silver&Black]

It was his choice, tbh. He could have went to a team with a better shot at winning.

He broke the bank though. And that's fine.

[Silver&Black]

:wow D'Bust

"THIS MY SHIT"

[TheCultOfPersonality]

K.J. McDaniels can't be stopped.

[LkrFan]

:wow D'Bust

Contract to 6-8 franchises... Good luck with that idea.

[LkrFan]

_efense! _efense! :lmao

[Killakobe81]

Poor Anthony Davis...

[DAF86]

:lol Today's NBA

C'mon son. Imagine a guy from the mid 90's watching that quarter of basketball. His mind would have been blown away.

[Killakobe81]

What a shitty lineup by Luke right now

[Killakobe81]

How can you play Huertas and Lou at the same time? Worst defensive backcourt in the history of mankind

[LkrFan]

Ingram looking decent out there.

[InRareForm]

ingram looks good in debut

[BD24]

Jesus both of these teams are so bad defensively.

[BD24]

How can you play Huertas and Lou at the same time? Worst defensive backcourt in the history of mankind
We play a Patty/Parker backcourt at times...

[Robz4000]

Didn't realize it was still preseason tbh...

[Killakobe81]

We play a Patty/Parker backcourt at times...

I'll will give them this Huertas can pass anD Lou can draw fouls but I would still take Mills/Parker defensively over Marcelo and Lou
And yes we suck on defense but g state wasn't playing high quality defense last night and State missed sout many wide open shots ...only Simmons, kiwi Draymond and Durant played really good D last night tbh...

[tonight...you]

Houston hired Dantoni, but promised they were getting a D Guru to help on the bench...
Yeah... That's gonna woyk. I gots a poyk to sells ya to...

[Killakobe81]

Swaggy undoing all the good work from preseason...Clarkson trying to hard ...

Russell Ingram Randle all showed flashes and Mozgov solid ..

[Robz4000]

:lol Harden's gonna set the all-time assist record in a game at this rate

[Killakobe81]

What a fucking flopper I defend the beard at times but that's bullshit

[TheCultOfPersonality]

So apparently James Harden is the new Steve Nash.

[TDMVPDPOY]

whats the all time record assists in a game? 27?

[Robz4000]

whats the all time record assists in a game? 27?

30

[oh crap]

okc handled up. westbrook with 32/12/9

[LkrFan]

Swaggy undoing all the good work from preseason...Clarkson trying to hard ...

Russell Ingram Randle all showed flashes and Mozgov solid ..

Clarkson has regressed. Maybe his friend's death is messing with his head? He's pressing big time.

[Kawhitstorm]

Teams are going to give Capela the DeAndre treatment & hack him when they get burnt by the PnR. Dude is a terrible FT shooter.

[LkrFan]

LeHype being forced down our throats again? Weak commercial tbh.

[Robz4000]

Clarkson has regressed. Maybe his friend's death is messing with his head? He's pressing big time.

Fucking Cameron Moore. Still can't believe he died.

[Killakobe81]

What a fucking flopper I defend the beard at times but that's bullshit

Bump

[Bynumite]

These niggas are so dumb, can't play defense to save their lives. The few possessions they try, they can't show any discipline whatsoever, gotta always be jumping trying to block shots smh.

[DAF86]

Do you see now what a team that was being hold back by a player looks like?

Yes, Kobe is the reason these niggas can't play defense. Choke on midget's dick, faggot.

:lol

[Robz4000]

He was the reason they couldn't score, however.

[apalisoc_9]

Nick Young is so stupid :lol

[apalisoc_9]

James Harden is a few tiers above the second best guy at drawing fouls...

No one has been able to consistently draw fouls in the NBA at a rate harden does.

It's ridiculous. :lol

[DAF86]

Yes, Kobe is the reason these niggas can't play defense. Choke on midget's dick, faggot.

Why do you like egomaniac douches so much? If at least they were as good as they think the are, but not even that. I don't get it son. :lol

Says the Messi fan

[DAF86]

Says the Messi fan

Messi is arguably the GOAT of the most popular sport in the World and he acts like any regular person.

Messi=Duncan=Kawhi=Manu

Ronaldo=Kobe

[apalisoc_9]

Duncan, Manu, Kawhi = Champions

Messi = 0 rings...

Nice try though.

[Bynumite]

[midnightpulp]

Both these teams are garbage.

Yeah, one of the winningest players in history=no ring. :lol

[LkrFan]

:lol @ djohn2oo8

[Hoops Czar]

Messi is arguably the GOAT of the most popular sport in the World and he acts like any regular person.

Messi=Duncan=Kawhi=Manu

Ronaldo=Kobe

Messi is the Michael Jordan of his sport. It's a little early to put Kawhi in such rarefied air.

[DAF86]

Seriously, how do you post with midget's nuts resting on your forehead?

Are you happy to have the cancer finally removed and be able to enjoy entertaining basketball games again?

[Hoops Czar]

Duncan, Manu, Kawhi = Champions

Nice try though.

Messi has 4 champions league titles. Nice try though.

[DAF86]

Messi is the Michael Jordan of his sport. It's a little early to put Kawhi in such rarefied air.

That comparisson was more related to the personality. Manu isn't anywhere close to being the GOAT of his sport either.

[apalisoc_9]

Yeah, one of the winningest players in history=no ring. :lol

Wow..So many regular season wins by Messi..How's his world cup and continental ring count again?

[Bynumite]

:lol @djohn2oo8
:lol today's Rocket Fans

[Thread]

Suns get the living shit beat out them. & the Lakers win.

Matzel, matzel.

[apalisoc_9]

So Messi who has never won a prestigious international cup ( which btw is more important than the champions league)...Is a supposed GOAT? :lol

It's like Saying Karl Malone is the GOAT cause he scored so many points and won so many Division banners. :lol

[DAF86]

Wow..So many regular season wins by Messi..How's his world cup and continental ring count again?

In which retarded way of thinking a knockout stage competition that gathers the best talent in the World, like the Champions League, is the equivalent to the NBA regular season?

[DAF86]

Do you spit or swallow midget's jizz?

I will take that as a no, because you sound upset.

[apalisoc_9]

Was Kirby holding the Lakers back?

[Killakobe81]

Congrats Lakers on the first win of the season... 26 more to go...

I almost posted the same ...Im predicting 27 wins with 32 win ceiling ...

[DPG21920]

Good win for the Lakers. After all the losing, from both a fan and team perspective has to be nice to get a win at home in the opener.

LA just annoys me though. They just seem so damn immature. They celebrate everything like it's a party and I know they are young but it just annoys me.

Good news is it means their coach is player friendly and chemistry is improving, but maybe it's just being old cranky me, its annoying to watch.

[StrengthAndHonor]

"Rockets are a top 4 team."

:lmao
Uhhm. No one said that.

[UZER]

Yes, Kobe is the reason these niggas can't play defense.

They haven't learned or even cared to try to play any defense the last 2 seasons because it's been all about letting kobe do whatever he wants with no regard for wins or losses. So yes, it is Kobe's fault.

They're diaper dandies doing something they did just 17 times last year: celebrating a W. Lighten up son. :)

Im not talking about after :lol. Every damn shot. It's annoying when GS does it too so it's not just me calling out Lakers.

Russell just strikes me as a dummy tbh :lol. Like a PG version of Dwight Howard (maybe with a better work ethic though).

Randle probably played better

[DPG21920]

Embiid looks legit bad a**. He is so skilled and combined with that athleticism is :wow. I really, really, hope he stays healthy. He's like a slightly more sane version of Ron Artest and has serious game. He will be fun to watch.

[DPG21920]

He is young, relax.

Not just him tbh...Randle does it. It's like Nick Young is the spiritual leader of the team :lol

[apalisoc_9]

Watching the OKC game today, It's hard to imagine the thunder finishing higher than 7th seed this year. :lol

teams should just focus on two things...Westbrook PnR with Adams and Kanter's post ups. That's legit the only thing they have going for them.

Opposing defenses is always going to look like they have an extra man..

[DAF86]

Nope...

Compelling counter-argument. I will have to change my opinion now.

[Hoops Czar]

Nope...

Quit trying to act like you know what you're talking about. It's embarrassing.

From what I saw ...he looks promising I saw a Young Timmy jab step rocked into a smooth jumper.

Ronaldo = 1 Euro

No, I'm talking about all the International Cups he has won over his professional career.

Ronaldo has a Euro Cup title that his teammates won for him while he was a mere spectator on the sidelines.
