This one I really want to see improve his outside shooting. Even if he just reaches 30% accuracy on his 3 pts shooting, that will help his team a lot. His tandem with Embiid will be less predictable.

Honestly though, I would rather see Simmons shooting well in 3 points that Embiid improving his 3 point shooting.
Embiid is very dominant inside if he is fully healthy and he just need a teammates that are good in 3 point shooting so they will be unpredictable.

The possible problem I see when Embiid is very confident in 3 point shooting is, he might settle for long shots and he will forget to be aggressive in the inside which could give him a higher percentage shot and will help his teammates to be confident as well.

It's just a single pre-season game, let's not over-react. His shooting form has indeed changed and it looks a lot more natural and clean, something he was advised to do back in his rookie season two years ago. He should not worry so much about his 3pt% though, what he really needs to do is...up his FT% which last season was at 42%, i think last amongst all guards in the NBA. To put that in perspective, SHAQ avg'd 53% throughout his entire career. 42% is just fucking pathetic and for a guard, and not only, embarrassing.

Yeah, but it is a start. It shows that he is committed to his new team that he takes the effort to improve his shooting form and maybe his percentage will improve as well. This is something the Lakers were not able to force Lonzo to do.

Who are happy right now that Ben Simmons finally hit his first three point shot in his NBA Career??

Who are happy right now that Ben Simmons finally hit his first three point shot in his NBA Career?? I'm not a fan of 76ers but I'm just happy with this milestone. Lots of memes on the twitter and lots of news in the internet. Your opinions?? Here are some links to read:

https://www.nbcsports.com/philadelphia/76ers/ben-simmons-made-three-pointer-twitter-social-reactions-went-nuts

Now how says he can't shoot? LOL..  He made it but I don't like to count it, I would officially start counting in the regular season as that's what you called a real game. This guy is good inside but his jump shooting is aweful and I think he understands the competition that's why he develop himself and hopefully we will see some more when the regular season finally starts.

It's just a single pre-season game, let's not over-react.

 Actually I like betting on preseason games because I don't need to analyze it carefully since I observed that the underdog and the over usually hit. (this tip is for bettors, and I believe most of us here are betting as well). Grin

Are there any lines open for pre-season betting in any sports betting website?


You can check sportsbet.io and see for yourself. I mean, try doing some research on your own and avoid asking questions which you can find answer for yourself.
Most of the sportsbook have NBA preseason line as this is a major basketball league which is very popular.
I keep betting in playoffs and I used sportsbet but I'm pretty sure other websites has this kind of line, just go check it if you haven't check yet.

And you can also check this thread for NBA betting - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5091185.new#new

Logging into any sports betting sites just take seconds. You can even check by not logging in.

Don't spam your Yobit signature campaign here dammit. This thread is clean then here comes the Yobit spammers polluting this thread.

You are very much welcome to check my post history, and come back to me if you found me spamming.

Please dont over react, just because you see someone wearing a yobit related signature doesnt mean they are all spammer. Get rid of that stereotypical mindset.

Im sorry for this off-topic, but I think you are the ones whos spamming, that last statement of yours is very unnecessary. For the record, I am an NBA fan and Im here since 2016. And did you even care to ask me why I cant take a second just to look for any sports website?
Next time , dont jump into a conclusion you never have any idea. Okay?  Learn to respect, so you could also be respected.

Again, everyone! Forgive me for this off-topic. I just want to give this troll an explanation.

And ohh. Upon checking your post history, you seemed a lot like a troll. So, I wont gonna bother replying to your nonsense after this message. 😂

Edit : Im sorry, but I have access restrictions to any website during office time. The reason why I couldnt visit any website (except bitcointalk as I requested this from my manager). I appreciate the kind answer @freedomgo, thats the answer I want to hear.

i can feel it man. Zion shows several times a hard dunk. no wonder he was chosen as number one in the 2019 nba draft pick.
after seeing the appearance of the Lonzo Ball I was surprised by the lakers why releasing talented young players like him. It seems that lonzo is quickly adapting to his teammates in Pelicans at the moment
Yeah, I really idolize Lonzo Ball since the hype. And look at this news, AD NOT FULLY COMMITED TO LAKERS. Since LeBron is aging, he needs to work harder. Anyway, it's just a rumor, I feel that both are building a relationship very well.

Man, I didn't saw the game between Rockets and Raptors, I just saw it on highlights in youtube. Russ is playing unselfish, wow and his explosiveness is still visible.
Also, I want to point out Fred Vanfleet with his three point shots. He took an upgrade by shooting several feet before the arc. Although I'm looking forward seeing this stuff in a real game. That game was like an all star game. It's like a game to give since they are in Japan to entertain.
I think it's just a rumor. I think LeBron asked the AD to come to the Lakers to help him make a solid squad at the Lakers. but the decision to trade the young players with the AD in my opinion is not right. Pelicans have more advantages because they now have a young and impressive squads.

Lol I remember betting in a pre season before. I did it once, I was in a local barber shop where there are number of people watching the first day of the NBA pre-season. That old man told me, you dont need to analyze the game, because they're not gonna use some of their plays and key players. Lets just bet with luck. And luckily I lost $20 bet. 😂

Agree with that, his improvement is measure through average and he needs to play more games to see if he is really consistent like what we've seen in the preseason game.

The NBA Chooses China’s Money Over Hong Kong’s Human Rights
Daryl Morey is now being forced to apologize because he… supports Democracy?

https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-news/daryl-morey-nba-hong-kong-houston-rockets-895706/
This was a weird event for him to put out a tweet supporting the hong kong protesters and china now is saying they will not be showing any nba games because it.
He has since removed his tweet but it still remains the same and he actually made an apology in chinese which I havent viewed but why do this?
Keep controversial subjects such as this out of sports. Now this costs your league billions of dollars in that market. What a dumb move. Embarrassed
All these preseason games are being broadcasted out of china from what I witnessed wanting to watch the raptors play this morning but it was the 4th quarter at 7am in the morning. Roll Eyes

Man, I can't believe at Lonzo Ball's performance he's shooting threes now with higher accuracy. I guess that his training is finally paying off. His shot is quite centered now unlike when he entered the NBA, his shot came from the left that made it unorthodox.

I love Lonzo and seeing him improving his threes now is really impressive.

Lonzo is decent but getting AD back you would include any young player, AD is a stud.  Also rj barrett had his first preseason game as well.  The kid looked fast and every bit worth the #3 pick.  I'm hoping he turns into the star knicks can build around.  Knicks might not win a ton of games this year but I think their future is finally headed in the right direction
I can't expect less than the teammate of Zion Williamson. By the summer league, I don't know if you heard about this but people are calling RJ Barrett as bust. Like, they didn't even saw him playing in the court. Now, he should prove them wrong. He's lefty just like Zion but he's faster because of his physical built.

Cant call someone who hasn't played a single nba game a bust.  Vegas summer league is for players to work on things the coaches want them to work on, same with pre season, gives the coaches a chance to try different rotations with different lineups.  I will wait and see but rj cant be called a bust from a 10 day vegas league.

People think Rondo will not play like Rondo plays because of Lebron but you guys are missing that dude made 8 assists per game last season on Lakers with Lebron, he may not get 30+ minutes of play but he will be a starter and from what we have seen on the preseason games we can definitely expect the same level of playmaking from Rondo this season as well.
Rondo became lowkey and many fans stopped realizing the guy's contribution every game. The lower minutes he play, I think that whenever he's inside the court he'll show again the true him as he doesn't want to waste that time given to him. Lakers is hell of the roster now but still I don't want to commit too much expectation from them. The league has become tougher and tougher and teams that were composed of superstars last season struggled.

In today's pre-season match, De'Andre Hunter, Cam Reddish and Zion Williamson made their debut at the State Farm Arena. New Orleans Pelicans successfully beat Hawks with a final score of 133-109. in my opinion as pick no.1 in the 2019 NBA Draft, Zion played well and amazed the audience!
Yeah they debuted well on their first NBA game. Although it was a preseason game well at least that was still a match. Zion Williamson made quite the appearance that game. He's so good and when he's bringing the ball to jam in the rim, he jams it real hard. You can feel the anger and the excitement from him.

Man, I can't believe at Lonzo Ball's performance he's shooting threes now with higher accuracy. I guess that his training is finally paying off. His shot is quite centered now unlike when he entered the NBA, his shot came from the left that made it unorthodox.

I guess Zion wanted to impressed everyone during the pre season game. We all know that during his college days he can really go up in the ring and give us some high light reel dunks because he is so powerful.

I love Lonzo and seeing him improving his threes now is really impressive. Lots of thing inside and outside the court had happen to this kid and I do hope that he can still play good despite all the negativity around him.

Lebron is no longer playing the playmaker role, he is a great passer and he will continue his passes but he will not playmake as in bring the ball up the floor and try to run a play, that is what Rondo did last season and on preseason and that is what he will do this year as well. It is just what he is good for and you can't utilize him any other way. There will be enough passes for both of them anyway with Danny green shooting and Kuzma scoring and Davis under the basket wrecking havoc.
