What the hell bro? Casper Ware is hitting 34% from 3 not 33% and Brady Heslip is getting 15 min of playing time!
Shit if you can’t get simple stuff like that right, damn! Maybe spend less time on the fancy fonts and more time on the basics. #NotImpressed

Looking forward to Collins matching up on JJJ at times and seeing if B4 switches over onto Seldon.
Hope to see a bounce back game from Jake, Penny, Trent etc.

 

[CupWizier]

Great job again darkwebs. Very professionally put together.

 

[James lamphear]

Let see if they play all there players.

So glad it's the late game since I work until 6:30. Want to face the Lakers and see how Baldwin does against Josh Hart, who gets all kinds of kudoes in this article while Baldwin never mentioned. (Do they consider him neither a rookie or a veteran?)

Their starting lineup looks pretty tough; Swanigan is really gonna have to step it up on defense and rebounding and hopefully doesn't even try shooting.

re: The Poll Question
So far, 10 votes in, and I'm the only one to vote for the Cavs.... sigh.

I have been reluctant to bring this up, but we're entering a dark time to be an NBA fan, especially a fan for a small market team. Why? The national media WANTS to write all about LAL, NYK, and LBJ. Well, the Knicks suck so they've been talking more about the other two. Now that LBJ is actually on LAL, the media coverage is ridiculous. I expect a full 1/3 of ESPN NBA articles and tweets to be about LAL or LBJ - it's already started to happen. It's not just ESPN, it's other outlets as well such as SI, and even nba.com. The reason I haven't liked LBJ for the last 2 or so years isn't anything about him, it's just that I've become sick listening about him all the time (his recent Oden/Blazers slam has annoyed me as well). Here's an example: GSW sweeps LBJ in the finals this year, and right afterwards ESPN had ONE article on GSW and TWO articles on LBJ, and neither of the articles was on his free agency, they hadn't even geared up for that yet. Now, the Lakers won last year's summer league, and they are undefeated in this one. So yeah, they're getting a lot of coverage. LAL will continue to get the lion's share of hype for the next several years. The only way for the Blazers and the Jazz's of the world to get any coverage at all will be to go to the conference finals.

So, to me the poll question is "Do you want even more fucking LAL coverage/hype or not" and my answer is no.

Only if the coverage is how things art going so well in LaLa land. The media and fans are expecting showtime to reincarnate but even with LeBron thats not going to happen.
James will be working much harder in the WC and age will for sure catch up with him at some point.

Do you not record games and watch later. Always blows me away when people say they can’t watch cause they work or are busy. I’ve been so slammed this past 3 weeks, I probably have 40 summer league games on my DVR including our Blazer games. After this Friday, I’m off for two straight weeks. I’ll catch up then.

 

[THE HCP]

This is just the shit I was talking about:

How cool was that to see ‘Bron in Laker gear. Wow, gave The HCP goosebumps.

I know you are joking. You’ve met me and totally thought I was as cool as advertised. I saw the way you were looking at me. On a serious tip, could you even imagine S2 without me? How long would you give the site before it started falling apart?

Uh....is Mrs HCP gone for a while on a 'work trip'? .....and I was looking at your shirt. Wondering where a landscaping company logo would fit.

You didn’t answer my question. I’m the heart and soul of this joint. Don’t be scared to agree son.

If you want to refer to your little chubby as a “goosebump”, well I suppose in your case that may make sense.

You can do that?

 

[hoopsjock]

You can do that?

Every summer league game this year is on the Watch Espn App.

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

You can do that?

Let me guess, you are from the future? I love the new guy above explaining to me how it works. #Rooks
