Crawford did what he does best. As a scorer off the bench, he is incendiary. One of the few, maybe only, guys in the Association who could get 40 off the bench in a given game.

New Orleans 95, San Antonio 99:

No mention of Duncan starting the year off with 24 and 11? Love Kawhi Leonard to take a big step this year. 19 points on 13 shots with 7 boards and 5 steals.

I think I started school Hakeem’s first year (?) and he was the first foreign black superstar ever

Huh, I always thought that was Tito Horford.

Austin Rivers had a rough season opener: 1-for-9 shooting, three turnovers, three fouls.

But how was his crossover?

Kendall Marshall, a poor man’s Mateen Cleaves.

Singler made a wise move going to Spain during the lockout and getting his shot back. His shooting really fell off his sr. year at Duke. Should carve out a nice career as a role player/3 pt shooter.

Did not like Singler taking those long jumpers last night, but if he can consistently hit that shot now I’ll take it. I just had flashbacks to him shooting his way out of games at Duke.

Harden might be the best true combo guard in the league right now.

I actually think he can be decent but I would have never taken him in the lottery. He strikes me as a career bench guy who can run the bench crew effeciently and maybe become a decent spot-up shooter with some work. So basically a better version of Steve Blake at best.

he strikes me as a 2K version of Mark Jackson, which is pretty damn good.

@MPIII. Kingston, JA. But emigrated to the states and ended up in Houston in the early 80s. Was there for only about 5 years but my father’s love of basketball started there, as did mine. I think I started school Hakeem’s first year (?) and he was the first foreign black superstar ever. Been on the Rockets’ bandwagon ever since. Rockets were the only team to interrupt the Lakers’ dominance in the 80s and the Bulls’ dominance in the 90s. They are always the underdog, I respect the Mavericks but at heart the Rockets are #1.

agreed that Stern told Phoenix not to pay the luxury tax

They paid it. They just didn’t want to Joe Johnson pay it. The title Phoenix gave away is all on Barkley’s team. Oh yea now I remember Fuck Houston.
