I'd like to see him back, but it is preseason...so better to rest him if there is any risk at all (which I know you probably agree with).

I think ball movement will be a lot better this year. I wish I had all the screenshots I had of Quin's offensive sets. If it looks bad, it's because players aren't understanding how intricate it can be.

Those knees. Hopefully he doesn't have recurring problems with them, I'm worried about both he and Rudy with their builds, both of them seem to stretch the limits of human anatomy in some way.

I HATE the way Joe Johnson has been playing.

Daddy 801 · Post #127 » by **Daddy 801** » Thu Oct 6, 2016 3:34 am

Joe with another bad possession. Like a large Burke. Iso, iso, Iso, shoot......brick. I know this probably won't last, but it's pretty bad to watch.

We've gotten Brooklyn Joe so far...I thought we were getting the Miami version.

George Hill is Shelvin Mack with a better jumper so far (well, not this game).

Should have been a foul, but that was a hard one to see for the baseline ref.

Does Vegas have sixth man of the year awards I can gamble on? Cause Knight has a serious chance at winning.

Hayward is such an underrated player. Teams better watch out because he isn't going to have the early season struggles he had last year after that foot injury.

I LOVE Diaw. His ball movement is going to rub off on everyone else.

Free Jeff Withey, good god.

babyjax13 · Post #135 » by **babyjax13** » Thu Oct 6, 2016 3:59 am

Really happy to see Earl Watson coaching. Wish we could have gotten him on our staff.

I like Chriss. He plays extremely hard.

babyjax13 · Post #137 » by **babyjax13** » Thu Oct 6, 2016 4:20 am

I love that Withey is so aggressive, but gotta put those down.

Daddy 801 · Post #138 » by **Daddy 801** » Thu Oct 6, 2016 4:22 am

It's so obvious Withey belongs.

Oh, definitely. Better safe than sorry.

About the game:

It was nice to see Withey get some burn, but I thought he had a bad game. That being said, he definitely should be on the team's roster this season.

Lyles continues to impress, Hill and JJ---not so much, thus far. Also, Diaw will make a big difference with his passing.

I missed the game. What did I miss, guys? Dante dunk on anybody? Gobert make 10/10 FTs?
