Trez working the glass

Marc isn't as athletic, but he's a clear upgrade over Dwight all around.

Especially since we have Trez and Morris now... The Combo of Marc/Trez next to AD is going to be way more solid than Dwight/McGee was...

Let’s see everyone getting on the THT wagon.

Looking good. We’re 11 of 15 from three, lol.

I guess it took all of 15 mins for Gasol to establish that he's a clear upgrade over Dwight / McGee.

And Tie Lue can't figure out a simple Horns set.. :lol:

THT is looking really promising. He's just a flat out hooper.

THT for MVP

Man, is Gasol special. All our role players are gonna have so much fun with him. Exceptional passes.

THT.... holy crap. This dude can do it all and has the body to do it in the regular season too. Awesome stuff.

I wish Kuzma just wouldn’t dribble anymore or be in a spot where he had to create his own shot. He should strictly be catching and shooting or catching and driving.

Dudley looks like every LA Fitness hooper.

THT's ability to contest shots even when he’s not the primary defender - Uncanny :-o

LAKESHOW · Post #74 » by **LAKESHOW** » Mon Dec 14, 2020 3:55 am

Okay, with the emergence of Tht, coach has gotta figure guard rotations.

THT is no joke. These skills are all translatable to a regular season game. He did it in the first quarter against the Clippers starting lineup.

What I got from this game is that
THT needs to lose about ten pounds. He'll be just perfect.
Dudley needs to lose about 20 lbs to get back to where he was last year. Which isn't saying much in terms of shape.

BEazy · Post #78 » by **BEazy** » Mon Dec 14, 2020 4:28 am

THT is a baller. This guy is going to be special. When he ripped Kawhi I was really impressed.

Beethoven · Post #79 » by **Beethoven** » Mon Dec 14, 2020 4:49 am

I wonder where THT will rank potentially amongst our recent draft picks :

THT
Ingram
Lonzo
Nance
Zubac
Randle
Clarkson
Caruso
Kuzma
Dlo

?

Crazy Idea # 3162

Schroeder & Trez start. AD, Bron and Trez have enough size, skill and athleticism to annihilate any front court.

Starters: Bron - Schroeder - Wes - AD - Trez
Bench: THT - Caruso - KCP - Kuz / Morris - Gasol

My theory - Gasol's playmaking and leadership was an eyeopener tonight and his 3 point threat keeps the lane open. THT, Caruso, KCP & Kuz are excellent high energy young cutters who fit around him like a glove to go along with THT's Iso dominance. I mean I can see that unit carving open 15-20 point leads in the bench minutes like they did tonight.

Thoughts?

P.S - Never been as excited after preseason games before. :nod:
