[jcwkings]

Just wanted to put a thread for people who went to the scrimmage to post reactions, pics, video etc. Im sure some people from here will be there, let us non Sacramento residents in in what goes down

 

[Dime Dropper]

Good idea, and LOVING the Chicharito avatar!

 

[cuad]

Looks like there will be a link available to a stream of it on NBA.com at 7:00 PM PT

 

[Dime Dropper]

Wow, those dance moves were TERRIBLE!

 

[cuad]

John Salmons was smiling...

And Tyreke was wearing a Yankees hat. He's gonna bolt for NY! Hickson is wearing 31 and Salmons is wearing 5.

 

[spudfan]

Is that two blocks for Hassan and 1 blown dunk?

 

[cuad]

Is that two blocks for Hassan and 1 blown dunk?

I thought the blown dunk was from Honeycutt. He definitely has a block too.

mmm John Salmons is injured. This season is going to kill us.

 

[Tyndel]

Think the missed dunk was Tyler. Hassan missed a hook or turn around to start

 

[Bricklayer]

at least Cisco and Thomas came to play. The bad side of that is neither may be here by opening night.

 

[Dime Dropper]

Thornton with the sick crossover.

 

[spudfan]

Jimmer looks a bit hesitant out there

 

[cuad]

Jimmer looks baaaad.

Who wants to start the Isaiah > Jimmer thread?

 

[jcwkings]

Marcus Thornton looks ready, sick crossover and 3 pt shot is looking good. Jimmer looks sluggish on defense, but we expected that.

 

[Dime Dropper]

He looks fine. He's trying not to force anything. People are going to be reading far too much into a scrimmage like this.

Thornton is very explosive, more than I had remembered him to be.

 

[jcwkings]

I tuned in like ten minutes ago, was that the first quarter that just ended?

 

[spudfan]

Marcus Thornton looks ready, sick crossover and 3 pt shot is looking good. Jimmer looks sluggish on defense, but we expected that.

I think a guard like Thomas is his worst match up too, very quick.

 

[Tyndel]

Think they said 4 games to 20 this was the first game.

 

[cuad]

Isaiah is embarrassing Jimmer.

 

[spudfan]

Isaiah is embarrassing Jimmer. Westphal now yelling at him. LOL

No. He was yelling at Thompson telling him to call out he had the help D so Jimmer wouldn't foul.

 

[Tyndel]

Isaiah is strong for his size alot of people had him going higher then last in the draft.

 

[jcwkings]

JT will never be a good post player, it just always seems that the defender is always two steps ahead of him and they know exactly what he wants to do.

 

[cuad]

Hard to believe that Isaiah was the 60th pick.

No. He was yelling at Thompson telling him to call out he had the help D so Jimmer wouldn't foul.

my mistake. Thompson definitely had that problem last year.

Jimmer has been doing surprisingly well on the boards at least.

 

[spudfan]

Isaiah looks good right now. Solid handles and finishing, hoping it translates well into the season.

 

[spudfan]

JT will never be a good post player, it just always seems that the defender is always two steps ahead of him and they know exactly what he wants to do.

He looks good to me tonight, maybe the best one out there.

 

[Mad D]

Maloofs in the house tonight

 

[cuad]

Proof that Thompson > Hickson

 

[spudfan]

Oliver is pretty solid too, knocking down his shots,

 

[cuad]

Oliver + Hill > Jimmer.

 

[Dime Dropper]

Oliver + Hill > Jimmer.

Are you the same guy as FakeInjury that we had here a while ago? Be honest now!

 

[spudfan]

It's going like I expected with JT, Donte and Garcia looking the most comfortable out there. Thomas is a nice surprise and it's good to see that everyone was telling the truth when they said he had been the most impressive in practice.
