I read an article where Jason Terry said Kawhi Leonard is a B-Player, or if you put it in other words a supporting-cast type of player, not the main man. I beg to disagree with him because we all know how good Kawhi is and he can carry a team almost the same way as other franchise players do. It is just that he does his job quietly and with no-nonsense that is why people tend to undervalue him.

Shame on Jason Terry he doesn't know how to value good players or opponents. Maybe he is just jealous because Kawhi did a great contribution when Spurs became champion few years ago.

But I know is an humble person even Terry is underestimating him for sure Kawhi is going to react not with words, but with his gameplays.

And Terry will going to eat his words.

Whatever you say playing with a foot or even any part of the body that is not fully recovered will make your career end. Looks at how D. Rose, he keeps re-injuring his foot now his career is affected with it. Ben Simmons sitting out this season might be the best for him because it will be better for his career

The curse is still in 76ers. I really want to watch ben simmons because of his unselfishness. I want to know if he will keep on passing all night. My question is who do you think will win ROY this season?
They will their time, as long as Ben Simmons can recover from injury they will be a good team and entertaining to watch, just expect this season that the sixers will bounce back from the last past seasons, they are the young but a hungry team.

Ben Simmons' fractured right foot will make him sit out  for at least 3 months. But there are rumors that he might not play this upcoming season for his recovery purposes, I don't know if this is a tanking scheme again by Philly or  it is for Ben Simmons' secured recovery. Now who will win rookie of the year? I say Kris Dunn has to be tha favorite after Ben.
That broken foot could turn out to be the excuse for him not to suit up for the Sixers, at all. I read from a news that he really wanted to play for the Lakers, but the Sixers took him as their first pick. Rumors has it that his agent, being a powerful one could hold him out for the entire season even if he has fully healed after a few months of recovery and could possibly try to make a deal for him to be shipped to LA which we all know is a much larger market than Philly.

That's a very sad news for the prospected rookie of the year, I think he will not play for the entire season like what happen to Blake Griffin when he was injured, anyway there are still good team to watch, I am more excited to watch the warriors this season.

If he is not playing for this season then he is going to ruin his carreer. He should be included in this season as recovery for such injury is not going to prevent him from trying to be the MVP for his team this season. Too bad that unfortunate thing happened to one of the best rookie when he is still on his top form
maybe he need to gamble playing this season will give him more attention from his fans and make him much more competitive i think the recovery can be done in less than 3 months because of his willingness to play he still young and its time for him to show what he got.
That is really bad because I really looked out to for his playes in the Nba and how he would perform so this is pretty unfortunate.
Hope that he can recover and still play the rest of the season.

I don't even think Golden State is going to make the Finals this season. They gave up a lot for Kevin Durant, who now has to blend in with Curry, and who like Curry chokes in big pressure situation. He's also very mentally weak, joining the team that beat him in a, "If you can't beat them, join them."

100% agreed. Plus the NBA season is grueling and endless with 82 games and plenty of back to back ones. Both Durant and Curry are very fragile players, I don't think both will be healthy by the finals (Conference or NBA), that's just my hunch. Many teams and crowds lost a lot of respect for them as players and they will bring their A game every night.

You mentioned the team depth and that's also a major concern in my opinion, they have an allstar starting lineup but if you take away either Curry or Durant (even Green if you will) the team looks very shaky to me...

That's the other thing. Curry has no stamina. And that affects him in playoff where teams give much more effort on the defensive end. And you have everyone switching on him, forcing him to guard who ever is attacking the basket.

Usually pre-season results are an opposite indication of how the team will do in the actual season. I've seen countless pre-season with completely mediocre teams going 7-0 or whatever and then they get a 30 win season record...

Pre-season is about trying things, getting to know new teammates, etc. With that being said, the Warriors won't win anything this year.  Cool

I agree with you. This also the time to showcase their rookies if its really belong to the league or some free agent trying to get a contract for their team.
Yeah the pre season game says nothing to me because they are just trying out some new things and nun of them are giving it their all.
It is all practice until the regular season is going to start again then we are going to see who will do what.

That's a no bearing game so you cannot expect players will give their full effort to win. Besides they care for their health so they would not go physical like in the playoffs.
Even though it's only a tune up game isn't it that they need to take it seriously too? That is their chance to see how the chemistry of the team will go for the whole season specially they have a new member in the team instead of taking it easy and let it go. I heard Kevin Durant got booed on his debut as a Warrior.

No team is going to take that match seriously. This is what pre season matches are for, as a pre heat for the real game and as an indicator wether or not the player is in shape for the next season and moreover for the team to actually see if their strategy is working although they are really not showing it all

Yeah i don't think pre season games are a gauge in a teams performance come regular season. Teams of course are just trying to get their players get back the feel of the game after off season. You wouldn't want to have scouts gather information and have teams be prepared for you when the real thing starts would you? :p

Pre-Season Game between Golden State Warriors and Toronto Raptors



Didn't able to watch it live since I don't know where to watch pre-season games lol.

On other game, My fave team Dallas Mavericks fall to New Orleans Hornets, 102-116. Nowitzki is not present at the game.


In pre season game most of the time they just keep on playing without any real strategy at all basically to hide their true strenght against their rival. However this could also be a standard comparison on how will they perform when the season start , Im going to expect more of course for the season matchup
They are just playing that for nothing and no pressure on both sides so you really cannot tell that they lose because Durant does not fit on the team. We will see in the start of the regular season if Durant can really perform as expected from him.

No it's not that they are playing for nothing. Pre-season is important especially with a team that has new players on their roster. In that way, no such thing as adapting the environment once the season has started.

They don't mind winning or losing since the main concern is the one I stated.
That's a no bearing game so you cannot expect players will give their full effort to win. Besides they care for their health so they would not go physical like in the playoffs.
they jsut want to adopt how the players will played so no bearing games is for  the coaching stuff looking for much better attack when they are in the practice showcase of the players will only happen in the play off putting their best defense and offense capability nba have a long way to play so we cant expect too much from pre season for sure.
