    He really was that good. We can’t ask him to play more than 25 mpg though, and even that is pushing it to me if we want him to last the year.

    Got it Dwight? Don't f****** make any waves. Just play really well the minutes you are in the games. Which will be substantial. And you can get another decent mid level contract. Go cancer on us and you are done Chump.

    mcgee would be an even richer man if he had this attitude when he was younger.

    I agree with Javale, I want him starting. Dwight can pickup the remaining minutes. And McGee's right, they do make a good one two punch at center if Howard just does what he's supposed to and doesn't pretend to be a three point shooter all of a sudden.

    Of course I loved the idea of Boogie playing for us this year but ah well.

    Looks a lot smoother than Dwight's shot, but let's keep it in the paint big fella

    They still need to put in some practice on the 3, just in case of end of possession, no time left on the clock bailouts.

    McGee's J looks more than halfway decent.

    Its big for us as a team to have a legit back up center so we can not only keep AD happy by keeping him at the 4, but also keep McGee fresh. The guy obviously has talent but if you play him too many minutes he will start to break down. I do hope Howard does embrace his role because I agree with McGee, they are a pretty good 1-2.

    BUMP. Looks like we have all star Javale back. Damn. That's one hell of a front line and spectacular in what they can do collectively both sides of the ball if everyone can keep their health.

    The size and length of Mcgee and AD out there is insane.

    Damn! That was fun. The size, rebounding, ground they're able to cover, the open looks. He's definitely going to eat well this season. A lot of nights, I think he can finish as our second leading scorer without trying. AD here makes it that easy for him, especially if Bron is in facilitator mode.

    Best energy from any of our guys. 10 boards, 5 blocks. He was everywhere.

    He's in for a huge year defensively.

    Zen, the first game in China did get played. Not sure what time for you but it was like 4am CA time. I watched it later this morning. Ireland and Thompson did the play by play and said the arena was packed. 2nd game is either Friday or Saturday.
