Plan on adjusting my sleep schedule to be able to watch it live. I hope the Gulf coast sports network will be up on Uverse by Friday

For sure, Actual games to talk about instead of Mean Girls behavior. Anxious to see if Pels get more consistent scoring with a group of Poole, TM3, Bey, and Zion. Herb Jones returns, back to All Pro Defender? Can Pels replace Vals post production with Looney, 2nd year Missi, and Queen? X card Fears?

X card?


Bey- Coming off big injury, looks strong and on a mission. Career high: 51 pts on 10/14 3pt

Karlo- Coming off a 16/8 avg to end the last season with full steam ahead.

Peavy- Looked well rounded on both sides, could be a top defender already, high IQ.

Hawk- We know he can't do 90% of average NBA things but can he shoot close to 40% this year?

Queen/ Fears- I have high expectations but do not really have any specific measurement to judge or compare their skill sets against others. Just happy to see what we have.

In preseason a loss isn’t as bad as it is in the regular season . Preseason games still count though just not as much . It’s very doubtful we will have starters playing . Preseason games are showing what the players that came out of the draft do in the NBA . Also backups who are already in the NBA . The starters probably won’t play until the last preseason game .

Yeah but if we lose to a NBL team, we will rightfully melt. This isn't your typical preseason game.

Vegas has line at Pels -24.5. Very much melt away if we lose, but I’d take the points given the excitement for the Aussies and the long travel for the Pels.

Cannot imaging anyone would bet real money on a preseason NBA game. No way to know how long, if at all, the starters even play. May be a lot of minutes eaten up by camp bodies this early.

Are you saying that I shouldn't put $500 on the spread?

Smart Money moved to 19.5 at tipoff. Easy money betting Melbourne.

The league is desperate for an American MVP. I don't think Zion would need a top 2-3 record for the league voters to grant him that.


I hate to say this, but it's almost impossible for Zion to win. He'll have to put up 35+ and lead the league in scoring. There is a 3 headed monster in front of him (SGA, Doncic and Jokic) that put up insane counting stats.

I'll never get over Donic putting up 33/9/10 and finishing 3rd in the voting. It's just crazy production. Now he's in LA and will be on TV a massive ton. That's a huge mountain for Zion to get into serious contention..
