    just finished watched it as it played then stopped then played on my computer

    Brook lopez played like half the game but in that half dominated. twenty something points easily and about eight rebounds

    twill did his best lebron imitation scoring rebounding and esspecially passing the rock. i think he had in the twenties as well

    everyone else looked ok. expected more out of farmer although he passed the ball pretty well

    elton brand looked pretty good making the nets pick up fouls tryna guard him

    wasnt to impressed with hawes especially considering the talent he has

    speightts couldnt hit a thing but he got to the line alot

     

    Derrick Favors fouled/turned the ball over probably as many times as he scored

    Wheres Sheltwon now lol?

    He was here to hype him up with his gaudy combine numbers, but not that he struggled in the summer league, and struggles in the pre, hes dissapeared.

    T Will will have a strong season this year and maybe the nets best playmaker. Favors is not ready yet but should improve as the season goes on. The nets coaching staff have been raving about him, I think he will show some flashes of his potential this season.

    I think the Sixers have enough to be a 6th,7th or 8th seed in the East…but I won’t another High Lottery Pick…I hate the Middle of the Pack…There are sooooooo many teams in the Middle I kinda get jeolous of the Losers….I want a top 5 pick before the upward swing…I hate this "lets play it out " approach…Nets need a high pick too…since noneof our teams are getting Carmelo we might as well battle it out for Barnes or Perry Jones…FYI Nets need Barnes,Sixers need Perry

    whoa whoa whoa…6th?..over who bucks,bulls,hawks come on now the sixers arent close to those 3 teams

    i think barnes would be a perfect fit for the nets

     

    favors will probably have a tough first year because hes behind troy murphey and kris humpries that doesnt leave alot of minutes i can see them trying him at back up center a lil bit which is what i remember reading a couple weeks back

    The Heat will win the East…
    The Celtics will be the 2 seed…
    Magic will be the 3rd…
    Ten depending on who u like more…The Hawks or Bulls will win the 4th seed ( I’d go with the Bulls if Boozer was healthy at the start )
    that means the Bucks “who i think the Sixers are better than although their my 2nd favorite team right now” will win the 6th seed…the Bobcats,Knicks,Pacers,Nets,Cavs,Pistons,Raptors,Nets are all Lottery Teams IMO…I think the Wiz may sneak in at 8 and the Sixers are the 7th seed at worst…They may be better than the Bucks and Hawks if injuries occur to any major minute players…Nothing is set in stone…

    I will say this…teams 6 thru 8 can be interchangable…The Knicks could get in the playoffs(Amare must be healthy all year for them to have a chance though) The Wizards could miss the Playoffs…The Pistons or Pacers are due to bounce back at some point though I dont think they do the bouncing this year…The Bobcats are trying their hardest to make a trade that barely gets them into the playoff picture( I see them blowing it up in Charlote…Jackson will be the first domino to fall there) The Nets could also suprise alot of teams this year but the Raps and Cavs will be Barnes hunting this summer…The Sixers had an off year with Eddie ” I can’t coach to save my life ” Jordan…Collins will bring the Sixers back to the playoffs even If their biggest fan( ME ) wnt’s them to tank a season and get the Star i believe Perry Jones will be in Philadelphia…Also want them to trade Thad and Lou Will for the Pick that lands them Brandon Knight….If the Kings suprise people and get the 10th pick or lower(14th at best) I’d make the deal with them and get a true scorer like B.Knight…

    I am getting knocked on because Favors had a bad game.  Wow, he had a good game the other game.  He is young so inconsistency happens.  Also I think Brook Lopez is really good.  I mentioned that I thought this year his brother Robin would close the gap and maybe even overtake him with all around play rather than doing one thing really well like Brook but we will see.

    SMH @ScareCrow. You were the one that was saying that John Wall would become a BUST and that Evan Turner would be WAY better than him. I’m not saying that Turner is not going to become a good player, but it certainly looks like the other way around right now.

    Lottery teams in the east that could use Perry Jones , Barnes ( or  impact player) … Cavs, Bobcats, Raptors, Nets, Pistons and Philly. Pacers could use a PF such as Sullinger or  Trey Thompkins.

    I still think Turner has the game to become a top player in the NBA(not scorer or highlight reel)…

    And for the Wall thing, I was a little hard on him and the hype…I always thought he’d be a great player if he stays healthy, but the hype around him last year caused me to take a "prove it to me" approach…

    I didn’t LOVE Wall because he failed to win a National Title with a NBA starting 5 at KU…He was turn over prone and I always wanted to see guys with that much hype produce a Title…When they flopped in the Tourney I held him mostly responsible…Now I will blame Calipari and Patterson(for not demanding the ball more in The nCAA’s)

    Now I’m the 1st to admit when I was wrong but they all haven’t even played a regular season game…

    In hindsight Wall was the # 1 guy as far as Potential and talent stood but Evan Turner was the Best Player at the time…He’s still a better player but he’s in a bad spot in Philly(should have drafted Cousins)

    FYI…If Wall doesn’t become a top 10 Pg he’ll be called a bust IMO…

    lol@sixers being better then the bucks. come on now they arent even close to being as good as the bucks. the bucks were wayy better last year and there team got better. its pretty much a consensous that 1-6 is on lock between the magic,bulls,bucks,boston,miami,atlanta. the only spots up for grab is the 7th and 8th. i know you liek the team but you cant seem to seperate youre likes(dislikes) from reality

    i was the same way with wall before he went to college because im a show me guy. and i was alot more skeptical about him in the pros but after watching him this past game plus summer leauge(even though i dont hold summer leauge to high) i believe this guy will be a stud in year one. hes a great passer and gets to the whole pretty well plus hes long and tall and he just passes the eye test.

    i feel the same way about cousins as i watch the kings vs suns. this guy has a knack for rebounding and great foot work

     Lopez still needs to become a better more aggressive rebounder
