Memphis is up 20 at the half on the Bulls (sans Rose, but still). Conley looks really good and Rudy Gay was on fire.

First extended look on the year for Kyrie for me, versus Charlotte. Looks like a stud so far. Mullens missed his only shot. Looks like guys are really pressing up on him on the outside. I think he is going to have to develop a post game and or some moves off the dribble. He wont get many spot up looks anymore now that his skill set is known.

Agreed, he is averaging about 20 and 6 as a starter so far though. He has great footwork he just needs to mix it up and go to the block some.

Yeah, he is solid so far. But just watching this Cavs game (while also watching Bulls/Memphis) the Cavs are right in his grill. He isnt a threat at that point to do anything but pass. So through 1 QTR, he needs to adjust if more teams do this all year.

Yeah teams are going to try and take that pick and pop away. If he adds consistent post play to go with that jumper and more consistent rebounding like he showed in that first quarter and he could be one of the better bigs in the league.

He tweeted that he had dead legs from 4 games in 5 days....or from never ever playing to now playing 35+ minutes today. His 2/4 free throws helps verify that. Should've busted his cardio better during the offseason.....his shooting definitely worked out well but a few dead legs games and he'll lose 1/2 of his minutes.

Halftime on TNT is better than the basketball on most nights.

lol the addition of Shaq is great.

With his antics, Chuck's dumbassness, and Kenny thinking he is "blacker than black." It's just great TV.


Sorry if that offends anyone.

I'd put Matt Barnes up there with H. Ward as people I hate in sports.

Gasol looks stupid when he complains about a call.

Kobe 6/19 with 12 points and 4 turnovers...

I'd say he's a bit tired.
