Basketball is back baby. (Also RJ Hunter wtf is u doing)
Glad we’re all in agreement, RJ Hunter is NOT the move 😂
I’m pretty confident that Frank and RJ are the first cuts
Nick Smith Jr was pretty good in the second half
Tonight, I finally found out who the corn rows dude was and how he’s not making the roster
5 seconds left. 4 point game.
NSJ at the 3pt line: “Let’s dance.”
If that’s how we play against the reigning eastern conference champs I can’t complain.
Starters looked nice asf, RJ Hunter is on drugs, Miller didn’t have many good looks this game but the mid range shots were butter, Mark is him, Thor is him, Hayward looked amazing, pretty good overall.
So we know Hunter, Ntilikina, and Sumner need to be cut as soon as possible…doesn’t bode well for backup pg but Theo looked pretty steady last year so hopefully he picks up well
Those 3 signings gonna end up in the swarm and all the rooks gonna be on the main roster
How did RJ make it to the league??? Who did he blackmail????? Ain’t no way bruh
We look better from the FT line which will help a lot this season.
I thought Miller showed some positives. A little polish/experience will fix a lot of his hiccups tonight.
Assuming he can progress and even maybe earn a starting spot this year, we could potentially have a much better bench than we’ve had. Either Miller, Terry, or Hayward, along with PJ, Martin, Theo, and Richards I think can be one of the league’s better bench units.
Shades of 2015-16
Probably would’ve won if RJ Hunter wasn’t smoking the Kai Jones GOATLife pack. Defense looks much better effort wise than last season, which was a huge relief. Offense looked really good when they played uptempo which should be fun to watch this season.
The good: Melo looks like he hasn’t missed a step, terry looks like he is in great shape, Mark “The Condor” Williams is the center we’ve been dreaming of, starters looked really good, Thor leap?!
The bad: Frank is not it… backup pg is not ideal right now, Brandon needs to be more assertive but I’m not mad at what I saw, we are pretty thin overall but bench unit should improve if Gordon moves down there, PJ hasn’t gotten better this is prob just who he is
I’m excited for the season!
Well when Miles and if Cody Martin come back we’ll be alright… hopefully
Game kinda reminded me that letting Svi go was the wrong choice. Hoping he won’t make the celtics roster and we’ll sign him back after this showing if it stays that way but he looked good for them in opening game so doubtful. RJ needs to find the closest library and find the book on Chinese language and start doing homework.
Theo Maledon sleeping soundly tonight
Just box score watching, but Amen is meh, as is Anthony Black
Two of them being one of the talk of summer league
I vomit in my mouth a bit thinking the Blazers laying an NBL team and Scoot doing alright and the internet lights up
It’s crazy to watch a team who knows how to play defense. Cliff I missed you.
Frank looks too slow for our offense. He needs more intensity. Can’t wait to see Ball with some major minutes. Miller is out there by himself. I preferred him to post up some or move without the ball. He just went to his spots and waited for the pass. Terry, Gordon and PJ looked pretty good. Gordon looks like great trade material.
i’m not completely ruling out Frank but would love to see NSJ get some quality backup PG minutes to see how he can run the second unit. The backup pg position is up for grabs to anyone halfway decent
