Man, you're flexing this jersey of yours and I hope that you get to collect more of them. I don't have this passion in collecting jerseys so, good luck with that.

Going on the game, KAT and Brunson did showed that they're a good tandem and exploded in points for their preseason game today.

No, don't get me wrong, I don't have a particular passion for collecting these T-shirts either. I'd rather collect something else. For example, small collectible figurines or something like that. They take up less space ))

Who knows if you change your mind and you're up for the next interesting jersey.

Yes, you are right, these guys can show themselves in a doubles lineup. Exactly, you can see such potential in these players when they go out on the court together.

We will see the best of them during the actual regular season comes. Many didn't like that this trade happened for KAT but it could be a blessing in disguise for him.

LeBron getting himself a technical in today’s preseason game seems a bit out of character. I wonder if he’s going to have a bit of an old man chip on his shoulder this season.

From LeBron's Twitter page, he wasn't so excited about travelling to Milwaukee for work. He missed his precious dad's time and then he didn't want the Lakers to get 0-5 on the game. Plus, Milwaukee's refs have been known to be not so good, like they know how to, throw someone off balance in a game.

So for someone who is not so excited about being in Milwaukee at the moment for games, little displeasing things might just throw him off balance. I don't think his age would affect his competence. He's an experienced known player, who still delivers. I guess just the circumstances surrounding his travel to Milwaukee might have made him not to be so settled.

Yes, it is coming indeed. I am curious if some folks in here are betting on these preseason games? Because if someone is up for fun, this is the type of games that we've like to have on but I am careful with the few bucks that I'd bet and just waiting for the regular season to come. We have less than 2 weeks for the regular season starts.

And how many dollars are you willing to bet? Just a few bucks for the sake of an experiment or something like that? Of course, there are those forum members among us who bet on sporting events. Including basketball. It is a wonderful sport with its own unique features. A huge sport. You can completely immerse yourself in all this for a long time)

Klay made 3/5 3s in his first outing with 10 points in 18min, not a bad start from 3 for him. 0/4 from inside the arc is not so good though. Grin

Fun fact, Dallas was -19 with Klay on the field, the worst of all players actually.

This is preseason, so (+/-) stats don’t really matter in my opinion.

What we’re seeing is that Klay still has that sharp outside shooting, and that’s exactly what Dallas needs—someone who can deliver points when the game’s on the line. Klay thrives in those crucial moments, which is already a big plus for the team. Now, they just need to fine-tune a few small things, and by the time the season starts, they’ll be in a much better spot.

Basically, all the Mavs need from Klay is for him to shoot three-pointers as well as he did for the Warriors, while the rest of the work will be done by Doncic and Irving.
Let's see how they get their chemistry on the court, but I think the Mavs will definitely be one of the few teams that will be really interesting to watch throughout the regular season.

So basically we have seen glimpse of how Klay will fit into the system with the Mavs, and it is still the same with he was with the Warriors though, catch and shoot and it's good because he is so familiar with that role already.

But I think he needed more to contribute in the offense though, it will not be enough for Doncic and Irving, there will be someone besides the two to handle the scoring and that's where Klay will fit with the team.

I agree to that, need some adjustments while still in the pre-season for sure it will be more better when the regular starts, and with that good shooting strokes, he will be benefited when Luka or Kyrie take those double team surely he'll be able to find that open spot to take his shots, still one of those deadly shooters that can convert perimeters if opportunities got open for him.

Let's wait and see if what adjustments and developments coaches will do to fit them altogether, fans will benefits a lot for sure, it's more entertaining and exciting as we will see decent competitions from those superstars that will compete with each other.

Why not, it’s better to start practicing early so we’re ready for the regular season. But the range or amount I’m betting in preseason is different—it’s just to warm up, not as serious as the regular season. So far, I’ve been losing, but it’s still manageable.

That makes sense.

The real battle is in the regular season, and we can talk about our bets in the "NBA betting" thread then.

Thanks, I've forgotten about that thread and will just probably go there if it's about betting. And for some other games that just happened, the Pacers and Cavaliers got a good game today. Pacers won though.

Yeah old man Bron losing his nerves. I mean he did this kind of complaining over no whistles all the time over his career but maybe now refs are are told to punish this stuff more often, no superstar bonus, haha. He got away with this kind of behavior all the time, glad to see finally some ref is standing up to him and won't be intimidated.

They really need some experience specially for Wemby to be the leader of the team. And that's what separate Lebron coming from the league, he is built differently, he did carry the Cavs during that time, but obviously he can't do it alone. But still playing in playoff and having 50 point game during his rookie and sophomore year is a great accomplishment for a young Lebron.

Things are different now compared to LeBron's era because the 3-point shooting revolution, led by Curry, hadn't really taken off back then. As we saw, LeBron had an easier time in the East, but he struggled in the Finals, especially against the Spurs. Teamwork is still crucial for building a great team, and LeBron benefited from a weaker Eastern Conference at the time, which isn’t the case now.

I’m not sure if the Spurs will make the playoffs, but if they do, it’ll be exciting to see a fresh team in the mix. With Coach Pop’s experience, I wouldn’t be surprised if they manage to upset a top-seeded team.

I got a chance to check out the first episode of the new Netflix documentary series on the NBA last night. It’s called Starting Five and follows some of the NBA’s best. The first episode seemed mostly focused on LeBron James but it looks like episode 2 is going to be mostly about Anthony Edwards. Looking forward to watching that.

Thanks, I have seen it in my Netflix and just started to watch the first episode, and yes, mostly it is on Lebron, and Anthony Edwards and Jimmy Butler.

They are just average or regular team to be honest, and I do agree with your statement. There are no superstar that can bring this team to the next level. They are still going to rely on Wemby this season, although he had a great mentor in CP3 but it might not be enough.

Seeing them qualify for the playoffs is already a huge achievement for the team. The thing is, CP3 isn’t getting any younger, and Wemby is still a bit overrated. It takes a dominant player, like a young LeBron, to carry a team to the championship, and the Spurs just don’t have that kind of star power yet. Their roster is very young, and while CP3 as a mentor will definitely help them grow, for now, it feels more like they’re riding the hype than being real contenders.

Yes, that will be a big accomplishment already if they were able to get into the playoff this season with CP3. But as you have said, CP3 is not getting any younger, although he can still play decent minutes, but him is not enough to bring the Spurs to the next level.

They really need some experience specially for Wemby to be the leader of the team. And that's what separate Lebron coming from the league, he is built differently, he did carry the Cavs during that time, but obviously he can't do it alone.

A nice alley oop tonight between CP3 and Wemby. While I think CP3 is going to do wonders for that team as far as winning games and developing players, I worry he might actually lead them to the first round of the playoffs with Wemby and I think that will hurt them in the draft. Probably worth it though for developing Wemby’s sake.

Honestly, I don't expect impressive results from the Spurs in the upcoming regular season. However, it's worth noting that Victor has been very lucky to play alongside Paul and under the coaching of Pop. There is no doubt that Pop and Paul will be able to help Victor improve many of his skills as long as he can avoid serious injuries due to his size.

Expect more of that lob plays from the Spurs this regular season. This is why I called the Spurs the new "Lob City" months ago because of the acquisition of CP3. Let's remember that the Clippers became a lob city years ago because of the Jordan-Paul-Griffin lob plays as well. Now it's the Spurs.

Let's not expect that much for the Spurs because after all, their roster is very young, and they don't have any all-star player at all aside from CP3 of course. Let's not also forget that all of the teams that CP3 played improved big time (let's exclude the Warriors for now). The Spurs are focusing on the development of Wemby and their young players as well hence they acquired CP3. They also have Stephon Castle which is a good PG as well so he will also learn from the "Point God". As for the injuries, Wemby will not be injured that easily. Remember when he tweaked his ankle during an out of bounds play against the Rockets? He just stomped his foot after that like nothing happened. Cheesy

I agree moving to the playoffs and manage to play against another tough team in the west side will definitely a great achievement for this young team, having CP3 might adds up but being competitive to reach the finals personally I'm doubting their capabilities, the calibers of those players who are playing with Wemby and CP3 ain't enough to cover those spots to compete against heavy favorites super teams.

Though it's too early for that, let's see and enjoy their performance and how far they may reach this season.

There's nothing much great roster added and its just Paul somehow creating some good changes with their team. But I also think that's enough to win a championship since then again there roster is still not capable to do so since maybe experience is not enough to fight back with other strong teams.

Reaching playoffs would be great achievement to them and I think developing Wemby is their main target here. So for sure that people will look forward how far Spurs would able to reach this season and also how Paul could affect the game of Wemby if he could able to release his monster side each game they play.

This is somehow great development for Spurs so provably that we would see more from them especially when regular season came.

I am also skeptical when I've seen how he plays.

Well, for the sake of exposure and history, there it goes. But with how we're defining an NBA caliber player, he's not close at it.

Thanks to his dad that he's able to reach this high but he has to work his ass off to prove himself to the skeptics like you and me.

It's a shame I still don't have a jersey with these players. I was just given a jersey with Jordan's name and number 23 a few months ago:

Now I understand perfectly well what I should get for my birthday ) I will collect a small collection of basketball jerseys. The bad thing is that in my small town this is a rarity, but there are online stores where you can buy the missing copies ))

Man, you're flexing this jersey of yours and I hope that you get to collect more of them. I don't have this passion in collecting jerseys so, good luck with that.

It seems like the loss of Klay Thompson wasn’t felt by the Warriors at all.

In their preseason game against the Kings, Hield showed off his 3-point accuracy, hitting 6 of 7 and leading the team in scoring. If he can keep that up in the regular season, the Warriors are still a dangerous team, and who knows, they might find themselves back in the NBA Finals again.

you can check the boxscore
https://www.espn.com/nba/boxscore/_/gameId/401716975

Yeah not only can Hield shoot as well, he is also able to run and defend still. Sure, it's not like a prime Klay but compared to 2024 Klay he is for sure the better defender.
I doubt though that the Warriors will be dangerous. Sure they still have some quality but most of the quality players are aging fast right now and a season is very long. 1 key injury and the Warriors can consider things and think about next summer's draft. Grin

Hield is definitely not half the defender Klay used to be, but the trouble is Klay isn't the defender he used to be neither. The bigger difference comes from offense, Klay used to shoot threes like crazy, he would go nuclear, and he would shoot a ton, and now we are seeing him not have that type of crazy shooting anymore, the result looks different.

We should probably consider this as an upgrade for Warriors but barely. The biggest benefit they got is Hield is younger, meaning they will get this level of output from Hield for many years, whereas Klay got older and came back from injury, so he is not great anymore and getting older and worse. The best approach here is try to adjust Hield into Warriors system as quickly as possible.
