De'Aaron Fox is already the Kings best player. Forget needing a mentor. He's ready, health permitting.

Kings just got to be patient with him

He's going to hit a rookie wall by middle of season but you got to let him learn

Doug Christie is a kiss ass lol

He still got the same energy he had on the court, I like it

Doug Christie certainly is an acquired taste as a commentator. Very very very small doses are required.

End of the game, George Hill defends the ball out of bounds. Refs go to replay, and decide it wasn't out of bounds on anyone. It was a foul. Rockets get free throws; and ice the game.

I thought replay couldn't determine a foul?

Suns lost by 48 at home. Breh

Well, nvm. It was a horrible call, but one ref called out of bounds but got overturned by the other. And then they still went to replay for... reasons?

Either way... a lousy way to lose the first game. A game I didn't think was going to be close at all. So solid start.

Portland

as for Phoenix's roster, IDK

[sfvega]

Phoenix isn't a horrible squad on paper, they just are a thrown together team with no coaching or defense. Chriss/Warren/JJ isn't a bad frontcount. No consistency though, no defense ever. I'm not ready to call Watson trash yet, he could just be on the coaching curve. But their GM has been there for a while and they just keep getting worse. Between that and their team building questions, his ass needs to go. Oh, and the Brandon Knight/Isaiah Thomas deabcle.

Also, I've never owned Jeremy Lin in fantasy until this year. Just wasn't my cup of tea, but with Brooklyn running this year, why not? Dude shreds his knee first game. No report on it, but it's very likely he's done for the year with an ACL or patella depending on different POVs out there.

[Xxcjb01xX [PIECE OF: SH-]]

Sixers actually looked good.

My only concern is forcing some bad shots, turnovers, and Fultz's free throwing but the dude doesnt have a 100% shoulder and I assume the shitty form is to not aggravate it until fully healthy.

But Simmons and Embiid looked good, that's good. Hung with a really good Wizards Team, just stay healthy and move forward... literally there is nowhere else to go but up.

Skip Bayless still having a job is really insulting

Watch Phoenix be the worst team in the league, and then get the fourth pick in the draft.

Because NBA.

Yea, Lin could get buckets and Nets are a high scoring team. It’s been announced he ruptured his patellar tendon and is out for the season

[Toilet Paper Roll]

The Suns may have lost by almost 50 at home but did anyone see that clip circulating where they briefly morphed into a video game and all turned upcourt with insane synchronicity ?

[Deleted]

Missed the Lin injury last night.

Damn, that looked awful.

[Xxcjb01xX [PIECE OF: SH-]]

I feel bad for Lin, I remember "Lin-sanity", and it was a hell of a thing. But the dude never really broke out and injuries have been a major reason.

He had a resurgence in Charlotte after some off years with Hou and Lakers

He's a good ball player and had a great stretch for a player that essentially came out of nowhere

I still say Knicks should have resigned him but Houston offered up that poison pill contract

[fuzzywarble, squat cobbler]

Lin just needs to do something about his hair. It looks AWFUL

Hit the front page of reddit. It didn't even look real... but it was!
