I will update this when the schedule is announced in a couple of weeks, but I will open with the new uniforms for the Charlotte Hornets below.

Harden and Melo both hold onto the ball. Dwight Howard bitched when he wasn't getting the ball in the post because Harden hogs the ball. At some point, Morey has to stop this silly idea of stockpiling players who don't at all play well with each other and start building a team concept. Morey needs to admit he made a huge mistake with Lin and Asik, has to try to salvage the relationship with Harden and Howard, and I just don't see how Melo accomplishes any of that.

I don't really get worked up about the FAs. It's probably more likely they get Bosh,Lowry, or nobody. Just interesting to think about

We took them to Game 7 without Chandler.

FTR, I don't believe DH has complained about touches in Houston. He seems happy.

I think these guys make a lot more sense. I just feel like with Melo, you'd have a ton of people just standing around holding the ball. This is actually a pretty perfect environment for a player like Bosh.

That video was depressing. The steal and breakaway when he tried to finger roll and came up short off the front rim.....good lord. This guy was a monster at UNLV on that type of play. There were comps to Larry Johnson.

I'm going to give Bennett another year or two before I completely give up on him. Injured shoulder to begin the season and Mike Brown is a lot to overcome.

[mcaj22]

so the Mavs covet a guy they should have never let walk in the first place on a one year deal with diminished skills and more injury problems

makes sense

Big salary comes off the books for next season's free agency so they can land LaMarcus Aldridge, a Dallas native, next year.

Felton will be the Mavs starting point guard unless they get somebody else.

Mike Brown was shitty at motivating. That made it harder for him conditioning from an already uphill battle of losing so much conditioning time in rehab. And the combination of the two led to him holding on to his knees 2 minutes into the game, loafing on defense, and playing with no confidence.

Shitty pick. Too much of a tweener and probably will never be good at defense. But way too soon to call him a bust. He will probably show up in much better condition, be motivated under a better coach, and you'd hope that translates into confidence.
