Zero recollection of him. 

Since you made me Google, Tee played HS ball in South Carolina with none other than Ray Allen. They won state in 1993 and Tee went on to play at a then NAIA school called Claflin in SC.

Edit: you'd think Ray could've given Tee some advice on how not to be a dog turd of a father after having to deal with Jake all those years. (I'll see myself out)

TJD with the start in the Warriors pre-season game vs Kings.  Played 25 min. and recorded a double-double of 13 pts. and 10 reb.

Kid has been so good. Glad people are seeing it.

I think Kerr really wants to be able to play Trayce 15 mins a night to keep Draymond and Looney fresh for the playoffs. Klays minutes will be down too, he has lost a step. TJD and his agent made a great decision avoiding any team that wanted him on a two way.

This is nice. Keeps his weight centered. Maintains his hand discipline. Last year this is a foul at least twice. Great sign. 

[Demo 21,979]

God, I hope this kid doesn’t get hurt. He just changes the geometry of the game for these guys. It’s nuts. 

[Hovadipo 60,190]

He’s going to have people seeing ghosts. He’s the boogeyman.

Terrific article from Dopirak on Haliburton. The franchise is lucky to have that kid.

So people expecting playoffs? I think its a realistic goal so long as Ty is healthy. 

 

- Defensive talent is better. Walker and Brown are just upgrades.

- Expecting growth from Benn snd Nemb

- Interested to see Toppin with Ty. He never played with an actual facilitator in NY

- This team is just more talented than last year. Gonna be interesting to see who isn't in the rotation

Can’t lie, the caught shot block may be my favorite thing in sports. And this announcer, “Ooohhh, just emasculated him!”, wow.

I saw that the Pacers wining total of 143 (vs 120 for Wizards) is the most scored in a season opener for Pacers, 1 point shy of most points scored at Gainbridge in regulation, 2 points shy of the most ever home game points, and most points for any season opener since 1990.  Fun way to start!

Pacers will surprise a lot of people and be a top-3 most exciting team in the league. Their preseason O/U win total was criminally low. They play at warp speed and Tyrese is electric.

Might be slightly reminiscent of the Suns back in the day. The offense is going to hum and the defense will be a bum.

Their pace of play was so nuts. And the Wizards can’t guard you or me, but 38/12 assist/TO looks like a misprint.

20/43 from 3 and probably 15 of those were wide. the f***. open. The Wizards were just running in circles as the Pacers flung the ball around the perimeter.

2 angles. Un-freaking-believable. 1 of the greatest passes I’ve ever seen.

Pacers defense is SOOOOO bad.
