Delly with 7/7/3. Five minutes remaining.

Isaac, that is good news for Delly. I really think he can play a role in the NBA, im glad he is getting the opportunity to show what he can offer.

You can see that the Warriors players love having someone like Bogut.

Lee, especially, just feeds off of it. He knows he doesn't have to worry about rebounding and been a defensive presence (because Bogut assumes that role), so he can just go out and play freely.

NZ's Steve Adams played 18mins in the Thunders 109-81 victory over the Nuggets.
The Kiwi rookie made 2/4 from the field and fouled out but 5 of his 6 rebounds were offensive.
His chances of seeing some regular season minutes increased when OKC released Daniel Orton. They now have Perkins, Thabeet & Adams as the Centres on their roster.

Durant had 36 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists in the win over Denver.

OKC are now 3-0 in the pre season.

and lil Nate Robinson punched Adams... it's at the end of the nba.com highlights..

Short-man syndrome anyone??

Adams looking good and will definitely be in the 12 man squad when the season starts (albeit struggling for minutes with Perk/Thabeet/Collison)

little article with some quotes from Durant on the young Kiwi Centre.

Good Effort by Delly today.. 4 pts, 8 assists in 28 mins. Need to keep some of those turnovers down though. Best +/- on the team so Brown has to be happy.

Steven Adams having a massive game 5-7 fg's and 15 rebounds

All of the Australians in NBA pre-season had good games today: Mills and Baynes both dropped 11 points on 5/9 shooting for the Spurs, Dellavedova got a decent run and had 4 points, a game high 8 assists and while some debate the meaningfulness of the +/- stat his +19 was huge compared to anyone else on court, and perhaps my favourite Australian of all, Steven Adams, had 10 points on 5/7 and a huge 15 boards for OKC. Great work by all the Aussies.

Good to see Kiwis' Baynes and Adams doing so well ;)

All (Plural) of Australian representatives played well today MCDUB. :P

Huge effort from Adams who's efforts won't be going unnoticed by the coaching staff and his team mates.
At this stage with how he is currently playing and improving each time he hits the court I can't see him playing much if any D-League.

Adams had another solid outing for OKC.
Played just short of 24mins for the Thunder against the Utah Jazz for 6points 10rebounds 2blocks 2steals.

I'm always pleased when someone does well who was pushed out of their mother's womb on the same land mass that my mother was on when she pushed me out of her womb.

It means more to me then when someone does well who was pushed out of their mother's womb on a different landmass that my mother was on when she pushed me out of her womb.

Posting this here for anon who thought this needed another thread:

Just finished, Spurs lost 92-109 to Rockets, and as much as people hate 'Mills scored another point' threads, I think this is worthy of a fresh thread,

Baynes top scored for Spurs with 16 pts (8-13) in 21 minutes
Mills top assists for Spurs with 6 asts (0 turnovers) in 19 minutes.

With pre-season numbers like these (admittedly not every game) you would think the boys would be in line for more minutes this season
