    When does it become official? When the game is over and they re-watch it? Because they are definitely missing blocks and steals, especially steals. He was all over the place first half getting steals (3-4) then he had back to back deflection steals where he grabbed the ball in mid air after his own deflection in the 2nd half.

    It's just an exhibition game. Don't sweat it

    Love to see the highlights.

    So amazing the fortune we have. To go from Chris Paul to AD is rarer than rare. He's gotta stay healthy, the team around him has to stay healthy, and the coaching has to be crisp from gameplanning to game management. Can't waste his time here. No way we get a third chance with a sniper elite player like that.

    How about 3 #1 picks in 4 years and 4 in 10 years?

    Yup. Love him to death, but at his best, West is basically LaMarcus Aldridge.

    And they've blown all but two of them out the airlock. Hell, Kyrie Irving ain't gonna carry a team on his shoulders anyway. A very good B player. Which is perfect, cuz he has a total A player in front of him now. Hell, he's the 3rd best player on his own team now with Love added to the fray.

    Won't matter though. Neither he nor Love are much of anything on defense, except for Love's rebounding.

    Should just rename this the Official FIBA thread...

    AD getting active early. Gotta say, I kinda like the fro'd look.

    Harden shoots too much and gets too much pt
    The most overused words on Pelicansreport.com. Wrongly, I might add.

    ELITE - (often used with a plural verb) the choice or best of anything considered collectively, as of a group or class of persons.

    GREAT - notable; remarkable; exceptionally outstanding

    These words should not be used lightly

    I'm also not that impressed with D Rose

    Commenter here thinks AD has bad footwork. Coach of Team USA thinks AD's footwork is what makes him so elite. Pick a side.

    Enjoyed what I saw from Davis in terms of driving from the wing, then sealing deep and converting around the rim. The latter is something we haven't seen much from him.

    Really? Interrupt a FIBA game to gush about friggin' Micheal Sam?

    Only relevant thing about him IS NOT RELEVANT!

    Edit: So what it was halftime! Shut up, me!
