I'm hoping they dont try and squeeze 20 teams into an hour preview.

Watch the last minute of the Pacer preview folks.

That pod is good for those who havent listened yet.

At the OKC part of that. I feel like none of the OKC NTers on here would want a David West for Steven Adams trade though

I've been saying "NOT GOING TO BE ABLE TO DO IT!" for about a week now.

This feels like a spoiler but......
 

Spoiler: Warning: Spoiler!

Wait is that real life? We arent getting the whole preview?

ummmmmm I haven't watched yet.. but they didn't seriously suggest that right..

I mean I know bill likes to throw lopsided trades from okc to someone every year.. but geesh

7 footer who runs like he does for david west.. when we already have ibaka.. then off the bench we got collision, perkins and mitch..

I mean I would get perkins (an expiring) and a pick(s).. but aint no way we would give up adams

maybe if they did west and their pick this year for reggie (do it top 5 protected)

As a Cleveland fan, Clippers fans won't be disappointed with Hawes. He's a legit stretch 5 who can also play some interior D on the other end.

I did not want Cavs to let him go, and was disappointed when he signed with Clippers. Obviously Cavs had another plan in mind though haha

Haha

Kobe back 

Please tell me this is photoshopped

Has Farmar looked like a better or worse fit than Collison so far?

Too early to say. They have pretty different games. Farmar is a better shooter, while Collison is more of a slasher and a better defender. That said, I think Farmar will be fine as CP's back-up, but I don't think he offers the kind of versatility Collison did. Collison played with CP a lot last season. He's taller than Farmar and has longer arms, which allows him to guard taller players. I really don't see CP and Farmar playing together unless the team is desperate and playing a really small line-up to try and catch up in a game.

Kobe back 

clearly, despite what ESPN says, teams still believe in the skills and know that single coverage is stupid with the mamba. Will say though, triple teamed...yea...you got 2 teammates open lol

 

[lawdog1]

On the topic of Kobe:

Didn't hear the Ding interview, but did catch a few minutes of the DP show this morning. Dan Patrick clearly is not a big fan of the Kobe article. He often rips on stuff that ESPN does, sometimes as part of his act, but you could tell in this case he really thought the article was PS.

People with ballstreams... how are you liking it so far?

With the combination of the 3 weeks suspension and Simmons not working weekends, I guess this Pacers preview is the last one? I figured it was going to be tough to get the rest of the previews in by opening night...

Nah. No way they stop at the Pacers. What would be the point in doing previews and not do them all.
I have faith they will finish it even if it takes 3 weeks.
