Dwyouche Wade starts by whining about the traffic and in the face of the backlash retreating to claim that he was misquoted. By himself. There are very few players that I would like to see run into the stanchion at top speed. But he's one of them.
Did he say he was misquoted or did he clarify his statement? I understand everyone always wants to frame his words as negatively as possible, but I find it unlikely he'd be dumb enough to be purely complaining about traffic in this situation. Clearly there's been damage control on his part in the aftermath, hence donating his game check, but its hard for me to believe the initial tweet was as nefarious as people want to make it out to be.
Hopefully Rondo is on that list, because he's one of the biggest morons/assholes/douchebags in the league.
Houston/Atlanta is a must watch. I will be at the Hornets game. I guess my last two for tonight will be Clippers/Lakers and Memphis/G State. Solid slate.
I love how these "analysts" use opinions to supplement analysis that could be backed up by facts. Last night Reggie said, "In my opinion, SA is the most efficient team in basketball." OK, then.
Magic just said the Bulls and Heat are the two best defensive teams. Obviously its a different season, but Boston was no. 1 last year. 76ers were no. 3 after the Bulls. Don't see how he can definitively say the Heat and Bulls are no. 1 this season. OK, I might be nitpicking on this one.
Man, Denver's making me want to rub broken glass in my eyes for putting them at #3 out West.
R-Star, do you think IND will be in a lot of trouble with Granger's knee concerns this season? That's the main reason I didn't put them at #2 like most seemed to. I also thought losing Barbosa and even Jones would hurt them in the regular season.
I doubt it. They will scrap it out, and if Granger does come back, it will just make them that much better.
Their biggest hurt will be their coach, Frank Vogel. We've been running our bench unit for like 8 minutes straight now. West just finally came in. Our coach seems to let us get into an early lead, then put in the bench squad until its completely blown.
I'm excited about watching the Timberwolves, too. I'm curious to see Brandon Roy back. I'm rooting for the guy. I hated the Blazers when he was there, but I always liked him. I hope he comes back from this injury and shows he's still got game.
I just turned on for my first look at the Hawks this season, and saw Josh Smith stand with the ball for 5 seconds, then clunk a midrange jumper. Some things never change.
