Avery is returning tonight!!

Can't wait for his defensive presence again; we've been awful on D as of late



And from what I'm hearing, in game situations in practice, Bradley is "lights out" from 3.


Can't wait!

Limited minutes or full go?

 

[bosoxlover12]

Starting, probably around 28-32 minutes total

I'm not arguing that Eric Gordon isn't good, just that the word incredible was thrown around loosely.

And like I said at the time, there are a lot of incredible players in the NBA that aren't All-Stars. You're taking the word to literal.

Incredible is fine, but words like great or elite are thrown around too loosely.

For the record though:

In the two games since Gordon’s return, Anderson has scored 42 points on just 29 shots, including an impressive 50% clip (8-16) from long range. As anticipated, Gordon has helped to free up Anderson on the perimeter, with defenses adjusting in an attempt to contain both players. This trend is one that should continue, and will make the games that much more fun to watch with the team’s top two scorers on the court together.

Incredible and great seem interchangeable.

 

[jonathanlambert33]

I'd agree with that, but I think being called great is more of a honor than being called incredible.

Incredible>Amazing>Great>Good

i cant believe nash agreed to play with kobe

kobe is extra selfish this year
all he cares about are personal accolades. he's 100% gunning for kareem's record and doesnt care how he does it

great individual season, but he's really not helping the team. especially late when he goes hero ball

and man, kobe defenders here are amazing

 

[Mexi]

im all for using words loosely

but i only feel comfortable calling bron and cp3 incredible.

not even Kevin Durant. ooof, i know. but just one of those things
and i love Kevin. i hope you all know that

EDIT: then again, i might be overthinking it. i might put Kevin there too

I'm surprised you didn't mention James

Raptors beating Portland 55-39 at the half. I have a lot of confidence in this team for some reason now. Exciting team to watch. Ironic that we're doing well while missing key players we thought would be what makes us or breaks us. We do need Jonas back badly though. Aaron Gray is great and all but still lol.

Aaron Gray sucks.......

Nasty 3 pointer for Mike Conley.

 

[Rios15]

Calderon has 0 points and 13 assists and Lowry has 0 points and 9 assists lol.

Hoping Boston and Philly both lose tonight.
