Wasn’t so bad with the small lineup. Too many missed open layups (refs missed some calls), encouraging the type of shots they can get.

Caruso is looking good. Rondo is stinking it up. Time for Bradley to disappoint.

Can we get Caruso back, please? Bradley has been underwhelming.

Bradley, Rondo, Pope is a perfectly useless lineup. What’s up, Frank? Training camp, I guess.

I hope he’s doing this to arm himself with numbers for why he should give Caruso more PT, not because he thinks it’s gonna work.

That Kostas drive and euro step and finish made me think I saw Giannis for a split second

Kostas has impressed me. He’s awake, alert, focus, gifted. Great hands. Good eurostep! Man, what if...?

They say he has a sprain and can’t play this meaningless game. A thumb sprain will heal fast. Glad he’s not on the court risking injury.

Rondo is so bad. Vogel is going to kill the season if he starts him.

Is it too late to swap Kuzma for Lonzo so we can have a real PG again?

Caruso with 30 minutes and he laid an egg... looks like the whole team did but he didn't impress while leading the team in minutes.

We're going to be as good as the health of Davis and LeBron. Kuzma will be the only other guy we have who will be a consistent scoring threat. If we lose LeBron for any length of time we're going to see the hole at PG beyond Rondo like the Grand Canyon. Otherwise having a true PG who's not a scoring threat isn't a big deal. What I'm seeing is that we are missing that third scoring threat and scoring off the bench right now. You can be an effective PG only if the guys to feed can score.
