Bam J is so wet right now

Man I swear when the injury bugs sticks to us its like its just one guy after another.....I don't think Spo was gonna start Highsmith but he was gonna get the bench minutes, at the PF for sure problably close games especially if he was hitting 3's at a high clip. Now we may get either JJJ minutes instead or Jovic for some back up minutes. However I woudn't be surprised for him to go with Cain instead at PF.

I’d say Spo goes with Love at the 4. Not sure on the 1, up for debate with Rich or Lowry.

Spo sees these guys everyday in practice. If he isn’t using them in games is because he doesn’t think they are ready. Simple as that. That’s why those of you expecting Jaquez or Jovic to play meaningful minutes this season are not rooted in reality. They aren’t ready.

throw um in there.. not like this team will be winning any titles anytime soon

Don’t have to tell me that lol the only way I can see us having a chance at a title is to flip Bam for Embiid, and also land disgruntled Harden for cheap. Neither of those are happening and we will just be another season of underdog scrappy season. Jimmy Embiid and Harden is pretty damn good. Depending on what Harden can still do. Embiid is only guy I can see guarding Jokic reasonably well.

Good start in this one by Hampton

We're all going to need to be very patient with Niko, its going to take time for him to turn into fiba Niko

Man Jovic has looked so green this preseason. Time is running out for him to show that he's worthy of minutes with a logjam already at that position

Duncan is playing himself right back to the bench

Niko is a rhythm player, you could see what he is when you give him minutes, looked a lot better the longer he stayed on the court.

He has been awful this pre-season.

Lowry/Smith backcourt. Why Spo.

Love has been awful tonight

Hopefully I'll shake this as no Jimmy, Josh, Highsmith but we looking middy as hell.....hopefully either Bam or Herro does something incredible in the season because its gonna be a boring season.

same here, I got better things to do....like enjoy some sweet alone time with the wify before she puts on the no-go pajamas.

Spo is baffling to me sometimes. How he can think Lowry/Smith is a good decision, yet we haven’t seen Bam/Jovic once this preseason is beyond me.

Better showing for Jovic tonight. Starting to settle down. Would like to see him handle more.
