They said it won't be down until after the new year. The Canadian company that made the new floor did part of the measurements in metrics so it doesn't fit. They're making a new floor.
 
Sly if I send you my slomo video of Will's end of scrimmage dunk I shot, can you post it on here. Only 10 secs long and in HD. Came out really nice.

Upload it to youtube then I can post it.
 
Watching it now...

Will Barton is a clone of JR Smith.

I just hope he can get the playing time, even if that means playing SF.

CJ put in work! He's clearly bigger than Blake or Lillard.

Leo looks solid.
 
Not joking here, but heard from somebody I really trust that Meyers has looked pretty damn good in camp!

And yes, CJ looked solid tonight. So did Blake!

Dame drinks so much that he has ice cold beer in his veins.

They said they already put it down and liked how it looked.

I hope it's more than just a change in the colors (like the ones we've seen on here). Thats pretty tame
 
I agree with what Tone was saying during the game - on the rebounds Meyers was noticeably in the right spot time and again - which as well all know is a positive change.
 
Got lucky and happened to be recording when he went up. I had missed the 2 sweet Nic dunks earlier!

Oh god I hope that's true. I don't care if he plays a single minute so long as I don't have to endure another season of sophomoric Meyers Leonard bashing.

Is he playing more center or PF? No doubt he can shoot the mid range jumper. The problem for him, is once the season starts and they settle on a 10 man rotation, he won't get a chance to play. Then when he does get some sporadic minutes he won't have any confidence.It is tough for these young guys coming off the bench with inconsistent minutes. But it is good to hear none the less in case of injuries.
 
One thing I got from the Fanfest, Meyers can really use a PG like Blake.

I believe that. Meyers still has a lot to learn. People shouldn't discount how inexperienced he is. He will benefit from having coaches on the floor. Blanky, Kaman, and Lopez are all that.
 
Good to hear the comments about Meyers looking decent. Even if it's just fan-fest that's good to hear considering how much we all love to pile on the guy.

I also like the comments about CJ. I've been high on him since day one so I'm hoping for a good year.


But mostly I'm just glad we won this year.
 
He had a couple of post up moves that were good, and didn't shrink away from the ball, plus his jumper was falling. I know that sounds like damning with faint praise, but he did look decent.

I thought we lost to the Spurs.
 
I know it was just a Fan Fest glorified pick up game, but our bench is going to be so much better this season. Do not underestimate the impact Kaman and Blake will have. They bring a lot of experience and stability to the second unit. Kaman give us a legitimate back up NBA center (who could still start on about 1/4 of the teams in the league) and Blake is a pass first PG who will run the offense and get the young guys involved.

I thought C.J. and Barton both looked really good and should be able to make up for the loss of Mo's scoring. Barton seems to be playing more under control, slowing down and making better decisions. That will earn him more PT, which is good because he can do so many things (scoring, rebounding, defense).

So, we added two solid veterans to the bench and our young guys are another year older and better. Can't wait for the season to start!

The only player who we care about (i.e., not poor old Victor) who didn't really show anything was T-Rob. But (a) he did have that one epic block that was called a foul, and (b) he has been injured (I guess).

Oh, and Freeland didn't really show much, but you never expect him to in this kind of forum.

I would love for him "Leonard" to play well enough for me to shut my mouth about him. He's been the only player I've harped on. I would love to be able to cheer him on!

Like you guys keep saying, every center regresses in his first 5 years, so just be patient for another 3. It's not like there are dozens of better players, squeezed out of the league every year, available for free or anything.

While we wait, enjoy his shooting!
 
The issue with Leonard has never been his offense or rebounding, the problem has always been that he is (was?) simply clueless on defense.
If he can hold his own defensively he could be a very good player but If he doesn't figure it out he's not worth even another contract.
