You look at a lot of the predictions attributable in the worst teams in the NBA it. -- sick game. And yet this daughters -- I think did vote go to -- potential we see -- daughters together no other injuries all rest as a schedule or this that everything else. The bench at that at Toronto Raptors. That it was ugly as bad able Charlotte in the thirties. These guys are ready to play. Diet that that does not like ducks in it -- whether like another 25 will start the season. -- whatever to go to butts kicked I think everyone's in the same boat. You know something -- adjustment and others but to be a few surprises -- Linear -- do you expect. May be to be yield seven and one -- to it might jump out for many many reasons I don't know -- Working together and -- offseason I don't know but it's going to be yet it's going to be ugly Toronto shot 32% last night. On the shot somehow 66 for like one for fifteen from three one for seventy just he's got it let's give credit for two more missed the race it's exhibition to try to work -- up in here must point 059%. Of -- Marlboros in the dunk contest guy -- for three. -- turbulence Oprah five last night us -- were much better 32 -- 39%. Of its Oslo was the man. That your god this year gonna go the Wisconsin product mr. Steve asthma. Be your impact out of every guy but I mean ethnic he is when that roster last night. It ignited but that it's not okay I am Paul flattery does and everyone who was there last night -- twenty or break down kind of who played well on the game and I like Brandon Bass the way he looked we were little daughters -- the stuff like -- all that and want more out there you know which elected by the way. Jacking three's -- -- runner president he's comfortable and that's why we get to the intricacies of the of exhibition game two of two. Wasn't the old white candidate pre season but the excite wicket -- all this was a -- basketball. Is as terrible a lot less than you're at basketball fan. And you like to sit down a lot gives an -- an unabashed NBA college -- -- I like it all you know I like big Monday I like the double header on Thursday nights on TNT that college MBA -- man. But that was gruesome last night trying to -- sick after the show yesterday. I tried itself I don't you're there with top gas albeit rob gets the whole with the Celtics tank -- Jon -- ago it was he had Dottie yeah -- is get the -- bombs out there and to. You know Dickerson it's all excited -- can't wait to -- and game. -- calls on the sidelines at a atomic are ideally on this island and watched this game pack in the last public. It was all done it throughout the conversations go comic executes it won a lot of money. Exhibition in raptors 817 hello Leo on -- -- now it was off guys didn't know placed there were supposed to be in. Of the temple of the game you saw players in my opinion getting tired there hobby starters are trying to get their minutes extended again and exhibition game two of two. Not trying to get their legs and -- them for the NBA season and it's not just doesn't Bob Ryan. Great Bob Bryan mentioned this and he pointed out today for those who have not yet read here's Ray Allen. On the short pre season equal rate today's globe. Ready for this we need six more exhibition probably six. It's always a process even this morning shoot around talking about yesterday we're putting a new stop by -- -- late Sunday. Would dot calls -- play puts up and you win I go exacted in my spot I don't remember the play. All that I go to my spot but other guys don't know we have great position players the timing is so important. It's executing at a time -- it inbound plays for those things I haven't pre season games spread there were two week period -- evenings. Nobody has its or choirs and -- -- out of focus when you're out there and shoot around half to be longer but I like that underlined -- Alice sides remain. We need six more exhibition games you get zero -- and NBA -- five paid yet again another great -- live games on Christmas. The conditioning side of basketball right help these guys are conditioned. That a couple of weeks verse 45 -- and even scrimmage and didn't have enough guys in David -- and for God's sake -- -- guys and at first. Three or four days but the communication that you need on defense on offense Nolan played together Vector Group they've been around together for awhile. But they didn't bring added Jermaine O'Neal who by the way it looked pretty good defending problem because they help -- who knows the benched a -- deal with the help Dutch system's all about. At the sport that really need a lot of time together to really do the communication on the court adjusting that's what maybe some of these teams that look at Miami. What do you do I don't know it goes -- -- brought to do some. Way just ism. You don't have people like that that just. I don't know Chris Paul had all the cities like a local -- that he Westbrook and -- Democrat to score clear out once I'd -- to want to but it went a bit more about it and a couple of months from now will get the communication to better able.

These games are gonna blow and there you're gonna S blog through these things -- you you pop up Bruins Montreal game. But sloppy the other night I was just saw big rival do this is going to be brutal and this start against the Nixon -- games I think. Consistently in the eighties and and -- low ninety's. I you're gonna have teams that are shooting in the thirties on a night in night out basis this was that while it plates and -- they have a couple of days off look at the celtics' schedule. You're gonna have. Two and three nights you're gonna have three and four nights you're gonna have five and seven night what's the shooting look.
