Around the League: Week 1 (10/23 - 10/29)

I love this energy. So funny when players give it back to hecklers.

[Shabazz]

Really incredible how many high level contributors were to be found in that draft after Jalen Smith.

[TOO]

And that's why we don't draft anymore.

[ShelC]

Was only a matter of time

The Warriors bench has saved them against the Rockets in the first half of their game tonight.

Joel with a 35/15/7/6 line in 29 minutes tonight

Even Tobias Harris was cooking the Blazers front court.

The Blazers were already really bad with Simons, it's just ugly now without him.

[Flagrant Fowl]

Wemby is having a real tough go of it against the Clippers. Batum is defending him well and the Clippers are being physical with him in general.

[Split T]

He better get used to it…being very physical is going to be the recipe on him. Basically how teams defend KD

(Twitter thing about former center)

Please just keep it to the one thread.

Pretty please.

My bad I thought I deleted it

That's exactly what I was observing. Getting into his legs early on the catch makes him uncomfortable, just like KD.

[Flagrant Fowl]

This was an ugly injury for Fox. He ultimately came back in the fourth but didn't make it through OT and had to be helped to the locker room after the game. He's definitely going to miss some games.

Cool idea! Not sure about our court though... Wish they would have stuck to our color scheme

[Cap]

The color’s a bit bold, but it’s only seven games, so OK. They all have a similar pattern, and El Valle beats what most teams have at center court.

ETA: Actually, we play up to seven games on these courts overall, but see our own at most five.

[Shabazz]

They should have done the tournament in December or January. The NBA still has that "early season" buzz at this point. Why not wait until the winter doldrums to try and generate interest?

[Kryptonic]

I agree, why not make it a mid-season tournament and dump the stupid all-star game. Fans would be far more into that, wouldn't they?
