Preseason GT: Cavs@Grizzlies on ESPN

[Uncle Drew]

Lol at that missed 8-seconds call on the trap.

[TemporaMutantur]

Nice oop to Thompson.

[Basketball IQ]

What channel. I turned to ESPN and the starters are on.

Damn that was the most impressive lob dunk I've seen from TT.

He's never been known for his above the rim play, but that was fantastic.

I think you're getting NBATV mixed up with ESPN.

Very true, Delly put the ball at just the right height for him.

Yeah that came outta nowhere, he's in his athletic prime and worked hard this offseason if he can suddenly do that, he's never had quite that extension before.

[RedBlackAttack]

Is anyone else annoyed by Hubie Brown as a color guy? I respect him and all for being an old-timer whose been around the game for a long time, but a lot of the time his diatribes are so totally long-winded, irrelevant or blatantly obvious that any old bat off the street could come to a similar conclusion and be less wordy about it. He just gets under my skin for some reason. It takes him way too long to get to the point, and that point is usually something very clear to anyone with a lick of basketball sense.

OMG......yes!!! He just goes on and on

I think Tristan is going to surprise a lot of people this year. His first three years were spent trying to turn him into an all-around threat on both ends of the court... a complete player that the team could rely on as a foundational building block. With everything that has happened this offseason, he's now in a much more comfortable role, imo. Big off the bench who can play either frontcourt position and is now free to roam around the rim, but won't be expected to have the offense flow through him.

Considering his work ethic and character, I think he could thrive in that position. He'll be a rich man's Tyler Hansboro minus the annoying antics and cheap shots.

Compare this to the Bulls vs Cavs thread, that thread had 550+ posts... this one is practically abandoned and it's on ESPN

Gotta say I'm pretty disappointed. That thread was amazing entertainment.

TT is still pretty young.. he has a long way to go to develop his touch around the basket.

Yes I agree and I also hate how he says "lig" instead of league. And he says it so damn often, it's like nails on a chalkboard to butcher a word that badly over and over again. He probably says "ruff" instead of roof, too.
