My money is on Blue winning.

White has got this

[flipogb]

Blue team wins

[Johnny Jones]

I think White team will win.

[Graviton]

Thibs gonna coach circles around that bum. Watch Cousins mature and turn into Shaq under him. One loud shout from Thibs and blue team gonna play like their manhood is on the chopping block. :bowdown:

Yeah I dont know why Monty is there. He's a shitty coach tbh.

[Inferno]

I bet Lillard will start over Wall. A couple sources have said that Lillard has stood out during practice.

[Droid101]

No Name is taking home the MVP.

[Aussie Dunker]

Irving / Holiday / Lawson / Conley

Tossing up alley-oops to,

Drummond / Faried / Jordan

With a true 1st option in George who should be on a level to anyone else on the court...

This team will be fun,

Isn't Wall in the middle of a contract talk? I doubt he wants to get hurt just before settling.

Not to mention Wall is miles better than Lillard.

[dbk123]

well hes going to lose. Monty is the worst coach in the NBA hands down.

Nobody comes close to his suckiness. Shit I'd even consider Del Negro 100x the coach Monty is.

Monty had some of the best young talent in the league and couldnt win shit.

Gordon- played all 82 games and averaged 16/8 on 58%

Greivis- played 78 games averaged 14/12 on 45%

Davis- Played all 82 games averaged 22/13/4 on 65%


I mean its pathetic that Monty only won 12 games.

Davis averaged 22/13/4? That's amazing. And I'm pretty sure he didn't play 82 games

Day 2 highlights (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eOe-jl8Ln2g)

My boy Davis was beastin on Day 2 :bowdown:

[Burgz V2]

been watching the Real Training Camp on NBA TV and one person who has been surprisingly aggressive is Klay Thompson. I really hope he plays well, I really like his style of play for the international game. Lillard has been really sharp too, seems to have a positive effect on every team he played with during the scrimmages. Anthony Davis has been pretty good too, Jerry Colangelo was raving about how much better he's gotten since the season ended in his interview with David Aldridge.

Anyways, I think the White team will take it. More athletic front court and great speed in the backcourt. Blue team will stretch the floor way better but I think White takes it if they really try to push the ball and pressure Blue's ball handlers.

[Xiao Yao You]

Monty is on of the best coaches I'd say.

Think he'll start over Wall?

[Burgz V2]

Think he'll start over Wall?

I think he should, but he won't. He stretches the floor way better than Wall but there were times that Wall made a play that I was genuinely in awe. He is by far the most athletic PG in the camp, and considering the speed of the White team's backcourt, he would definitely be a great asset for them defensively...if he wants to that is.

I have a buddy that's been there for every practice and he pretty much said exactly this. He said that Lillards been shooting well and when I asked him about Wall he said that the kid is lookin like an athletic freak and making a number of spectacular plays a day.

http://instagram.com/p/cLDa1RHNhu/

I bet Wall starts though primarily due to seniority. Both are great guards though.

[ThickassGlasses]

Wall should easily start over Lillard :wtf:


He is the best PG there, and the only person with any sort of case over him Irving.

Wall is better than Lillard and that's why he should start, not due to seniority.

[Myth]

Wall is better than Lillard and that's why he should start, not due to seniority.

Not hard to imagine Lillard making a jump during his first off-season. Also, it is possible to have Lillard fit in the line-up better due to differing abilities and chemistry with other players. Lillard is also a better shooter, which is very important in international play.

interesting Blue team starting small.

G startng at the 4! Thought he might be able to play there some for the Jazz when he bulked up some.

[DuMa]

Wall ot starting..... Unibrow is starting instead.

[RedBlackAttack]

DWait starting. Me likey. Wall, Lillard, Waiters trio is very interesting.

[RidonKs]

what a pass :eek:

you can find a link at firstrowsports just under nbatv for ppl looking

[DuMa]

Waiters gets his shot swatted cuz he didnt alley oop to unibrow.

[Xiao Yao You]

PF running the break! Should be seeing plenty of that this season. Only chance the Jazz have to compete.

[supe12sta12z]

Waiters gets his shot swatted cuz he didnt alley oop to unibrow.

That was very self-fish of him. There were clearly two guys gravitating towards him.

[JimmyMcAdocious]

Monroe is a beast. Too bad the Pistons are run by morons. Hopefully KCP and Drummond pan out to help that guy out or he should leave.

[truhooper]

The white team sucks so far

[DuMa]

Kyrie and Dame shootout.

[noob cake]

irving is on another level

[DuMa]

I'm not sure why Waiters is starting. It should be Wall

I can see why Drummond won't be a focal point in the Pistons offense next year. He's raw as ****.

damn davis has a crazy ass wingspan

[JimmyMcAdocious]

If I could have any player on the floor to build a team, I think it would be Davis. I wasn't even someone who bought the hype (next Duncan? Gtfo), but he has every tool imaginable and he's already so effective at his age. I think he's going to explode next year.

idk kyrie is looking nice tho

[B-Low]

Kyrie bein Kyrie :applause:

[JimmyMcAdocious]

idk kyrie is looking nice tho

Kyrie is clearly the best player on the floor and it's not close. But I'm a sucker for bigmen and I think PGs are overrated when it comes to building a championship team. Definitely wouldn't argue anyone taking Kyrie, tho. He's the most obvious choice.

[DuMa]

put unibrow back in the game

[DuMa]

Wall looks horrible for someone who is about to get a max contract.

and Isaiah Thomas is annoying as hell to listen to.

[DuMa]

DeAndre Jordan 3-4 FTs. oh snap

[Uncle Drew]

Wall :applause:

[Burgz V2]

Anthony Davis is gonna be so effing good please let this guy stay healthy

[Xiao Yao You]

Favors sucked

[JimmyMcAdocious]

Wall looks horrible for someone who is about to get a max contract.

and Isaiah Thomas is annoying as hell to listen to.


That was unfortunate timing for you. :oldlol: Right after you post that, he suddenly becomes the best player in the game.

Kyrie, Wall, Monroe, Lil, Faried, and Unibrow looked great out there. Cousins, Drummond, Waiters, Zeller were not so good. I didn't even notice if Derozan, Anderson, or Favors were playing. The rest were ok.

What showed on the screen. Leading first half scorers:
Blue - Davis (10), Lillard (7), Barnes (6), 3 tied (5)
White - Kyrie (16), Jordan (7), MKG (6), Faried (5)

[brandonislegend]

Kyrie is playing like he is playing vs middle schoolers.

[dbk123]

David Irving wall are the only players in this game that look like future top 15 players

[ZMonkey11]

Wall looks horrible for someone who is about to get a max contract.

Parsons' shot is looking flat as hell.

[brandonislegend]

Kyrie is just ****ing sick.

and Davis is the only player on the Blue that's been impressive in the 2nd half.

[bdreason]

Irving is a hell of a player. I don't think I've ever been more wrong about an NBA prospect.

Blue gotta do something here soon. theyre about to get blown out.

[Le Shaqtus]

How is Parsons?

[leMVP]

Kyrie now only needs Wins to soldify his immense talent.

and he should be able to do it next season.

[JimmyMcAdocious]

Derozan is so far out of his element. It's laughable that he's even invited.

[brandonislegend]

Dat pass by Kyrie....John Wall in the game now should be exciting.

[Grinder]

The thought of a Steph Curry - Kyrie Irving backcourt to bust international zone defenses is mouthwatering.

[brandonislegend]

[Johnny Jones]

Why the hell is AD subbing out? :facepalm

[bdreason]

The thought of a Steph Curry - Kyrie Irving backcourt to bust international zone defenses is mouthwatering.


Just the thought of trying to defend that duo gives me a headache.

[bdreason]

And Cousins, barring some type of emotional tantrum, is definitely going to make this team.

[JimmyMcAdocious]

Does Derozan have money on this game? How can someone be so bad in an exhibition?

[Johnny Jones]

Blue team never had a chance.

[B-Low]

Blow f'n out.

It's very obvious who the top 4-5 players in that group are. After that is when it gets interesting.

[DuMa]

Thibs about to rip this blue team a new one in the locker room

[Johnny Jones]

So... anybody have the final box score?

[notatop29pg]

Thibs gonna coach circles around that bum. Watch Cousins mature and turn into Shaq under him. One loud shout from Thibs and blue team gonna play like their manhood is on the chopping block. :bowdown:

Outcoached.

[mugiwara]

How is Parsons?

moved the ball nicely, thats it.

[Le Shaqtus]

moved the ball nicely, thats it.

That's a shame :( I was expecting more from him.

[JimmyMcAdocious]

Kyrie was much better than everyone else. He was so and it looked like he was going at 60%... Davis was the clear #2.

Monroe, Barnes, Conley, Lawson, Lillard, Wall, and Faried had their moments. I think Monroe or Lawson were the most consistently good throughout the game of that group.

The rest were about what you would except, except I thought Derozan, George, Waiters, Cousins, Holiday, Anderson, Favors, and Drummond were bad and/or disappointing.

[DuMa]

Holiday was solid. he wasnt disappointing at all. He gives a lot of flexibility inserted at the 2 guard spot.

[Inferno]

Blow f'n out.

It's very obvious who the top 4-5 players in that group are. After that is when it gets interesting.

Who do you think they are? Couldn't watch the game.

[steve]

For everyone who thought Lillard looked good, I'd really like to know what game they were watching. He got off to a fast start, but after that he looked pretty awful. He couldn't get into the offense, he was primarily looking for his own offense (including taking at least two just baffling 25/26 foot three point shots), and part of the reason Irving popped off the way he did was because Lillard was offering about as little resistance on the defensive end as you're ever going to see (Irving is a great scorer but he was getting into the lane without putting forth much effort, although he did pull out some nice hesitation dribbles).

Other thoughts: Davis' jump shot looked nice but he looked kind of lazy all around on the defensive end. In fact, the blue team's first unit looked real bad on defense, especially in transition. And Thibs units were kind of strange as he was kind leaning a little hard on small line-ups that were ineffective, couldn't see why Barnes and Wall didn't play more.

[mugiwara]

That's a shame :( I was expecting more from him.

mm he looked like he didn't want to shoot after a really flat air ball.

[Inferno]

Lillard (Blue team): Made 4 of 14 shots, 1 3-pointer, finished with 9 points (7 in first quarter)

Damn, he went cold.

Lillard has been really sharp too, seems to have a positive effect on every team he played with during the scrimmages.

:rockon:

but seriously, Blue's defense was horrendous. They were getting beat down the floor off of free throws. That's pretty damn pathetic.

It's called Kyrie Irving

[Inferno]

Anthony Davis went 22/7 on 10-13 shooting. :eek:

[brandonislegend]

Kyrie Irving scored 23 points with three boards, seven assists, one steal and two 3-pointers in 27 minutes in the Team USA Showcase on Thursday.
He looked like a superstar and he's one of the most deadly players with his dribbling skills. Kyrie has been hamstrung by injuries to limit his true potential, but he's just 21 years old and we probably haven't seen the best out of him year

[Johnny Jones]

Saw someone comment it in a game thread. Still looking for an actual boxscore to confirm though.
Good luck trying to find a box score... I've been loooking for 15+ minutes. :cry:

[brandonislegend]

Harrison Barnes looked great in Thursday's Team USA Showcase, scoring 18 points on 6-of-11 shooting to go with three boards, three steals and two 3-pointers.
He put Ryan Anderson on a poster with a one-handed jam and showed a lot of promise in just 17 minutes of action.

[Inferno]

Good luck trying to find a box score... I've been loooking for 15+ minutes. :cry:

Yeah, I'm just finding random stats here and there. What I've got:

Lillard: 9 points (7 in first quarter) on 4-14 shooting

Irving: 23 points 7 assists

Davis: 22 points and 7 rebounds on 10-13 shooting

Holiday: 12 points, 5 assists, 7 rebounds

DJ: 10 points and 9 rebounds

Barnes: 18 points on 6-11 shooting and 3 rebounds

mclemore had a couple bad games but he played very good towards the end of summer league

[Jon_Koncak]

Was it a scrimmage or just an exhibition all star game style?How in the world did they allow 128 points in 40 minutes!That's embarrasing for Thibodeaus team.

[andremiller07]

mclemore had a couple bad games but he played very good towards the end of summer league
Yeah he did but I was expecting a bit more tbh considering at many points during the year he was listed as #1,he only really played 3-4 good quarters out of a possible 20. Imo if Thornton stays he will end up playing the majority of the mins @SG.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tm0biGorFJk just watch that block/coast to coast starting at 0:40. How many players his size can do that in the league? In fact, how many players his size have EVER been able to do that looking so fluid? The list is very short. To think he was compared to Tyson Chandler...

Add to that the defense, rebounding, perfect jump shooting form, and ability to catch any pass over anyone to finish with a quick alley oop... All he needs is a go-to post move and he could become the best PF in the league. And since he already has a good jumpshot, it's not a stretch to imagine he'll develop a KG like fadeaway he can count on night in, night out. It would be relatively easy for him.

Damn seriously disappointed in Cousins from what I have heard/read from other Kings fans (can't find a link to d/l the game anywhere), seemed like more of the same old where he just stop caring on defense in particular........First McLemore struggling in SL now this :facepalm hopefully it sorts itself out before the season starts.

Last time around he was criticized for playing too hard and too physically so it may be related to that. It seemed last time around like they wanted to treat the whole thing sort of like an all star game.

He was the consensus number one pick for a reason. He's the complete package. People are quick to dismiss him because he's slight of frame but his ability to impact the game on both ends of the floor is rare. His feel for the game on the offensive end of the floor is often overlooked.

If Davis can knock down that jumper consistently, which he probably will, he could be looking at 20/10 as early as this year. He's going to be a beast.

Recovering from his tendinitis.

Leonard with international rules (hand check, more physical off-ball defense) would be an absolute monster on defense.

I'm not sure why people are acting surprised that AD is a beast. The guy was one of the best first year collegiate prospects I've seen in the last decade. What impresses me most is his ball handling skills and agility for a big man. There was one moment last night where he outran everyone on the break and looked as smooth as silk doing so.

When you have a guy that athletic... potentially elite shotblocker, great rebounder on both ends, can knock down the midrange jumper so soon in his career...

He's got superstar written all over him. I thought Davis and Kyrie were quite clearly the two best players on the floor last night. They looked like they were a level above the other really good players in that game.

Leonard with any rules is a beast defensively, but yeah... Especially if he's allowed hand check. The guy's hands are like vicegrips. There haven't been too many players in my 30+ years watching the NBA that I've enjoyed watching play defense more than Kawhi.


Btw, as a Cavs fan, I liked some of what I saw out of Tyler Zeller in the second half. He was moving well and showed nice touch around the basket. It looked like he and Kyrie have developed a nice relationship on the floor.

a lot of guys can shoot it as well as davis does, but few every develop a fadeaway like the one kg has.

i dont think its a given.

lebron spent about 5 years trying to add a go-to post move. dwight has spent his whole career trying to get some simple fluid post moves.

its not easy.

id agree with everything else in your post though. the sky is the limit for davis.

AD's shooting form is going to make it hard to come up with a fade away even close to KGs.
