Feel free the post info, starting lineups, game links...

Surprised to see no preseason threads so far. :confusedshrug:

[The Macho Man]

Never been so amped for a preseason game, lockout got me fiendin.

[Grinder]

This game is on CSNMA so I'll be watching it. Got the Pacers-Bulls preseason game as well. Can't wait!

Looking forward to seeing Nikola Vucevic, Jan Vesely, John Wall and Turner's improvement.

[Clippersfan86]

Yea definitely a game to watch. Young talent, new roles on both teams for players etc. I think John Wall is going to demolish the Sixers to give Wizards close win.

How do you demolish a team and only get a close win?

[HylianNightmare]

wizards takin this one!

[Grinder]

Jrue is one of the best defenders at the PG position. It'll be fun to see my two favorite young point guards matching up against each other.

I'm hoping Craig Brackins gets some PT for us today.


One of my favorite things about preseason games is getting an extended look at (young) guys that probably won't get much PT during the regular season.

[Force]

Excited to see what kind of defense Jrue is able to play against Wall. Jrue played much better defense last year than someone who made the 1st team all defense. People need to wake up and start mentioning Jrue when they talk about the new crop of point guard. He's one of the only ones who plays defense.

[bagelred]

League Pass is Free until 1/8 ? That includes preseason?

[Clippersfan86]

If a player drops 40+ on a team is that not demolishing a team? Even if it's in a close win? :facepalm

[alenleomessi]

yes and no

[UtahJazzFan88]

Anyone know is the NBA blacks out preseason games on regional networks besides your home team? I have CSN Philly so I'm hoping to watch it.

i think the main rotation is going to get alot of play in these 2 preseason games to get them ready. these are probably the most important preseason games ever.

[Clippersfan86]

yes and no

Wait we can watch league pass free first 1-2 weeks of season? You can watch online right?

[donsanchez306]

LINNNNNNNKKK MEEEEE


ima canadian i neeeeds this brah....

i got these two cheeseburgers.....

[Fatal9]

Hope teams treat pre-season games more seriously than usual (ie. starters actually play 30+ minutes) because of the short prep time for the season.

[GOBB]

Wait what, preseason is here? Holy crap I'm so out of the loop.

Jrue Holiday is going to work Wall.


This game is on CSNMA so I'll be watching it. Got the Pacers-Bulls preseason game as well. Can't wait!

Looking forward to seeing Nikola Vucevic, Jan Vesely, John Wall and Turner's improvement.

Hey you piece of sh!t

1. Euroleague > you
2. You dont know nothing about euroleague
3. Put back on Evan Turner avatar!

Speaking for the Sixers I'd like to see the backups get some significant work. Especially Evan Turner. :pimp:

[Styles p]

i heard meeks is starting and evan is going to run the point with the second unit.

[alenleomessi]

Yup from 25th december till 9th january

:oldlol:

We gotta play 2K12 soon!

It's not going to happen, but I'd love to see us start:
Jrue
Turner
Iguodala
Thad
Vucevic

Evan's 3 point shooting would need to improve but this lineup would be nasty in transition and have a lot of floor spacing. We could use Lou and EB as the main guys off the bench.

[KingBeasley08]

Time to see how my Euro bro Jan is gonna do. John Wall gonna do what he always does :rockon:

[UtahJazzFan88]

So has that chucker Nick Young resigned with the Wizards yet? Nobody wants the guy. :oldlol:

[GOBB]

Funny, speaking of 2k12 thats the exact lineup I play with when I use them. :roll: Now that 2k has Vucevic in I put him in at Center. Bench Brand/Meeks and run with that lineup with Lou/Brand as my guys off the bench. I love it!

[wang4three]

No it's not.

[dbugz]

Can't believe this ! after all that happened, we're going to see an actual nba games in just a few minutes.


:cheers:

[Primary]

Excited to watch some ball. :cheers:

[Jasi]

thanks jamaal

this one (http://www.lshunter.tv/index.php?option=com_lsh&view=lsh&event_id=74633&tid=229318&channel=0&tmpl=component&layout=popup&Itemid=327) seems to work also

[GOBB]

First time Blatche touched the ball he jacked up a shot. I love it. :oldlol:

J.McGee with a nasty stuff.

[The Big Skinny]

Man our defense is horrid. Javale mcgee with the ugliest hook i've ever scene.

why is rashard lewis AND andray blatche starting. I wanna see some vesely!

[Fatal9]

Blatch's chucking in mid-season form


I hate this dude :facepalm

[Harrison_Barnes]

First time Blatche touched the ball he jacked up a shot. I love it. :oldlol:

J.McGee with a nasty stuff.

Hahaha he really likes to chuck doesn't he? He did have a nice dunk though.

[StroShow4]

That was a nice dunk by McGee, but what the hell was that underhanded garbage he threw up just before that? :oldlol:

[GOBB]

Jrue Holiday is so smooth. Smooth Operator.


Man our defense is horrid. Javale mcgee with the ugliest hook i've ever scene.

Hey cut him some slack. I like the fact he is attempting it. Preseason is the time to do it no?


Spencer Hawes is so soft...i can finish an and 1 on him.

[StroShow4]

Spencer Hawes setting folks up for a major disappointment this season with all of these early preseason buckets. People are going to think he can play. :lol

[The Big Skinny]

Dray with the grown man move. now play some D.......

[The Macho Man]

Man our defense is horrid. Javale mcgee with the ugliest hook i've ever scene.

why is rashard lewis AND andray blatche starting. I wanna see some vesely!

Need someone who can stretch the floor starting.

[GOBB]

Elton Brand makes a ton of cash but I LOVE the way he scores sometimes. He does this nice body back into a defender hop to figure out which way to go to get his shot off. Sick bank shot on Blatche, get some! :bowdown:

[Grinder]

Like what I'm seeing from Jrue and Spence so far.

Looks like Chris Singleton is already ahead of fellow rookie Vesely on the depth chart.

ET in the game now.

[jamal99]

Singleton is really good at D.

Still waiting for Vesely...

[Harrison_Barnes]

Singleton is really good at D.

Still waiting for Vesely...

Was a hell of a play by Singleton!

[madmax]

Hawes slowly becoming the best offensive player on Sixers...dude has a nice array of fake moves to the basket

[Harrison_Barnes]

Vesely is checking in!

[entropy35]

Wall was pretty bad on defense and offense.

[The Macho Man]

Sloppy as hell, but that's not suprising.

[donsanchez306]

10pts 7 rbs one missed shot first quarter hawesome stats:cheers:

[GOBB]

Stro, Spencer can score but I'm no fool. He is a backup who would be sweet off the bench behind a better Center. Same with Meeks. They would be quality backups for teams, starter by default. Its his defense, rebounding that makes me not fall victim to his offense. But he's putting the bucket in the hoop. All I can ask for. :bowdown:

Jan Veasley dunk it!


Was a hell of a play by Singleton!

You play 2k12? Thats one of those fail ally oop attempts. :oldlol:

[blablabla]

amazing air ball

[The Big Skinny]

Dont understand why Dray can't get into good shape. He looks sloppy and is constantly huffin and puffin. Would be a 20 and 8 type guy if he could just get into good shape. then again thats not ever gonna happen.

[KingBeasley08]

crap just got home :facepalm

but now that im here, lets go wiz :rockon:

Macho Man made a post earlier about Blatche started working out after the lockout ended lol.

[Harrison_Barnes]

You play 2k12? Thats one of those fail ally oop attempts. :oldlol:

Haha haven't picked up 2k12 yet, but I know exactly what you mean from 2k11 :roll:

[GOBB]

BRAAAAAAAACKINS! :bowdown:

[blablabla]

didn't catch much of the first quarter how's turner looking

[donsanchez306]

2 3's for crackin brackins!

[KingBeasley08]

I know I haven't watched anything but looking at the box score, Wall's had a really bad game so far. Is he just coasting or does he still make super-risky passes?

[R.I.P.]

How is the boyfriend of the Czech basketball chick doing? :lol

[Harrison_Barnes]

I know I haven't watched anything but looking at the box score, Wall's had a really bad game so far. Is he just coasting or does he still make super-risky passes?

He's been making some good passes, but the Wizards just aren't hitting them. When looking to score he seems over aggressive and is kind of just rushing into Philly's defence.

[jamal99]

Jan with his first points as a Wizard, and it was a jumper, not a dunk.
:applause:

[Harrison_Barnes]

Jan with his first points as a Wizard, and it was a jumper, not a dunk.
:applause:
They really seemed to be avoiding giving him the ball lol. :oldlol:

[The Macho Man]

Jesus. Give Nick Young the max so someone can hit a shot.

[KingBeasley08]

Jesus. Give Nick Young the max so someone can hit a shot.
pretty sad to see the talent of the rest of the team

[Harrison_Barnes]

Jesus. Give Nick Young the max so someone can hit a shot.

I don't understand why they keep jacking up threes when they can't hit them..
Ohhh well.

[The Macho Man]

Where is Trevor Booker? He needs to dunk on someone.

[scott0326]

Nice to see Blatche in mid season form... This is gonn be a fun season

[GOBB]

Lou Williams with a nice hesitation floater. :bowdown:

Impressive first half by the Sixers. I hope Stern scheduled us to play Wizs 66 times. :lol

[scott0326]

Where is Trevor Booker? He needs to dunk on someone.
I think he's still hurt.

[Theoo's Daddy]

Philly stomping this guys :oldlol: .. what moves did the Wizards make this offseason ?

[scott0326]

Ronny Turiaf and Roger Mason. :facepalm

Some real nice defence by the Sixers so far.

[Theoo's Daddy]

Ronny Turiaf and Roger Mason. :facepalm
:hammerhead: :hammerhead: . Thats not a good look.

[The Macho Man]

Ronny Turiaf and Roger Mason. :facepalm

Those were solid moves, don't need to be spending big money on free agents, need young guys to develop.

And get a high pick to replace Blatche/Mcgee.

[Theoo's Daddy]

The wizards are going to stink this season. More reasons for John wall to put up good stats.

[The Stan]

LINNNNNNNKKK MEEEEE

[GOBB]

Is Wall the fastest from baseline to baseline in the NBA? I mean it comes off a knee jerk response and I've seen guys like Rose. But how the hell does Wall get down the other end so fast the cameraman is constantly LATE with catching him. :facepalm

Id feel pretty confident saying he is the fastest player, its just amazing to watch how fast he is.. and he never slows down either. :confusedshrug:

[KingBeasley08]

another lottery season for the wiz :oldlol: hopefully we can get andre drummond or sullinger

how about ur heat? u da bess this year? its championship or bust

[Harrison_Barnes]

how about ur heat? u da bess this year? its championship or bust
Its definitely another lottery season for the Wiz.. but if they make some good choices in the draft they could quickly turn their franchise around.

[UtahJazzFan88]

It's a great season to be bad, on the bright side.

[The Macho Man]

:oldlol: What's the largest margin of victory in preseason history?

[scott0326]

Holy shit, we suck :lol:

[KingBeasley08]

id rather watch the redskins than this shit or worse... baseball :roll:

[chazzy]

He definitely is IMO.. saw him in person this summer and it was crazy. Might be the fastest player I've seen live

[LiLharvard]

John Wall reminds me of my dude on myplayer 2k12 Brick brick turnover brick turnover prayer brick turnover turnover turnover turnover turnover timeout bench game over

[The Macho Man]

ooooweee

[GOBB]

Jesus Christ and 3 wise men did anyone see John Wall break Turners ankles then DUNK with so much force a baby sheep cried?

[LiLharvard]

Wall and iggy are brothers .. Retarded brothers

[UtahJazzFan88]

It's too bad that John Wall is stuck with a bunch of D-League players, Jordan Crawford, and JaVale McGee.

[LiLharvard]

Jesus Christ and 3 wise men did anyone see John Wall break Turners ankles then DUNK with so much force a baby sheep cried?
Twas nice, he's still tinkering around a d+ in myplayer mode lolol. Meanwhile, iggy has been asked to leave the stadium

:lol

Anyone see the Vesely oop??? :bowdown: He cleaned the vents in the rafters before finding the basketball and slamming it in the rim. True story

[jamal99]

My stream stopped working for a moment and he dunks an alley oop... :banghead:

[Harrison_Barnes]

My stream stopped working for a moment and he dunks an alley oop... :banghead:

Ouchh, I just flicked back and seen it in time. :lol

[LiLharvard]

Now taking bets on wash hitting a single 3pt for the entire game. 0/11 so far, this team is a joke

[jamal99]

Singleton hit one like a minute ago xD

[LiLharvard]

Dang I jynxed it

:wtf: How's this shit already on youtube? :lol

[Grinder]

8 points in one minute for Roger Mason. How u?

[GOBB]

I dont know who I hate more Iggy or Speights. I think Speights wins this, why is he here? Leave!

[LiLharvard]

I dont know who I hate more Iggy or Speights. I think Speights wins this, why is he here? Leave!
This is a tough one, between iggy throwing absolute bricks and speights doing near nothing. I'm going with speights, iggy is world class on the defensive end, I'll give him that, but, Philly needs to get his outta there if they want a championship run.

oo, that boy is dirty. Just saw it on sportscenter.

[EvanW]

Man, for how nice Evan Turner looked I'm surprised nobody is talking about him. :confusedshrug:

16 pts, 7 boards.

[DuMa]

my god flip saunders has a LOT of work to do.

[UtahJazzFan88]

Just saw some highlights of the game, and the Wizards floor looks 1,000% percent better than the old ugly ass colors, and the jerseys are much improved as well. That blue and gold shit looked like piss.

[scott0326]

Too bad the team doesn't look like its improved much. :oldlol:

[cuad]

Jan Vesely didn't look so bad in the few minutes that I tried to tune in. Seemed to fit in well offensively and defensively, meaning he's got a solid foundation to build on, meaning he doesn't have to worry about fitting in, just has to worry about getting better.
