Experimental game try out some random lineups since Morris is out

Thanks for the thread. This should be fun. Really excited to see Batum, he’s the guy I’m most excited for this season, because a good and healthy Batum will really help. Kennard is second, but I already know what he can do, how Lue uses him is the interesting part.

Hopefully when the real season starts, Lue is not scared to run many lineup iterations (similar to a Carlisle) in order to find working combinations and even some surprise lineups that could come in handy.

Yeah I’m optimistic that all of this is just experimenting but the team should be better no matter what happens

Starting unit can’t be down at any point against this lineup or trolls will feast

replacing Chauncey as Brian Sieman's new partner is 14-year NBA vet and former TNT part-timer Jim Jackson

sorry Corey, I'm glad you're still on the pregame team but he's already 10x better than you'll ever be at this broadcasting thing

Nice 3’s by Ibaka

Ibaka fits right in.

Batum looks healthy and moving fluidly.

Like the ideasof running Kawhi or PG off staggered screens as our initial actions with the other star ready to attack from the opposite side of the floor if they overload.

Shaking off some rust

Is Ibaka actually going to start? I’d taken it for granted that he’d be the backup 4 and 5 but maybe not.

Think this was more of getting a version of the closing lineup on the floor together, sans Batum.

Since neither will play much tonight, just giving him his minutes with Kawhi, who brought him here.

These are some terrible passes wtf stop being flashy

Looks like Kennard is going to fit right in too.

Only one game (quarter) but I like the way all 3 new additions look.

Yah. It's harder to be good than it is to be great.

I'm seeing some things from Kabengele

TheNewEra · Post #20 » by **TheNewEra** » Sat Dec 12, 2020 4:14 am

Kabengele with the big man block that was a great run. You can tell he was tired by the end but he dug in and made a play
