So does anyone know what Favors said to Locke that made him laugh so hard? Locke had just said how all Favors said to him all camp was "He was ready." Then Locke asked him what it was like working with "That man over there [Malone]." Then Favors says something and then everyone laughs. Can anyone understand it? It's at the 13:40 mark.

Locke asked him either what his go to move was or if he needed one. Favors said he doesn't need a go to move.
 
Does Howard have a go to move? Cause I can see favors becoming similar to him (but better of course)

I disagree... Coming off the bench place more pressure on Trey to score...

If he is starting with Burk/Hay/Fav/Kant Trey doesn't have any pressure to score but just start the offense!!!

I heard something different at the game. It was kind of hard to hear because Locke didn't put the mic high enough a lot of the time.

I thought Locke asked Favors about how hard working with Malone was this summer, and Favors said, "It wasn't that hard." Locke lughed and then Locke said he better end the interview before Favors got into trouble.
 
Favors will never be as good as Howard. Dwight Howard before surgery was the best BIG and it was not even close....

If Favors can a bit like howard... Then you can kiss it and put it on your head...

"Like him" as in how? By roiding up to 280 lbs? What offensive post moves does Howard have except the shoulder lowering clearout?

Ok, just to realize it. We are not comparing Favors with a tall player from neighbourhood who plays basketball. We are comparing him with Dwight Howard, who is by far the best Big Man in the game. I think that lots of people understimate Howard because he got a lot of mental issues after surgery, but we are talking about...

- 7 times Allstar
- 3 times NBA Defensive Player of the Year (2009–2011) he did it consecutively
- 2 times NBA blocks leader (2009–2010)
- 5 times All-NBA First Team (2008–2012)

Im not in love with Dwith Howard, but we have to stop "homerisim" and start being realistic. IF Favors could get near that, just near that, I would be in love with him...

I'm telling you what I saw from the stands. My youngest is sick though so we left early (and he required lots of attention). I could have missed stuff.

I expected those two to dominate and they didn't. 5-8 against Goob-Evans isn't the best line IMO.

I watched the game online. Kanter absolutely dominated and Burke was horrible. Scott Machado was the best PG out there. But this is just a scrimmage, so not to be taken too seriously.
