Preseason Game 1: Bulls at Bucks - 10/8/23 - Noon - BSWI - Giannis/Khris/Dame OUT

[Matches Malone]

TyTy looks poopoo

[Balls2TheWalls]

Dre could give us some really fun minutes next to Lillard/Middleton. Put enough shooting around him and I think he’ll work offensively. His defensive upside is kinda nutty.

And MarJon should start. Even if he’s not totally ready (although he might be) I think you throw him into the fire and let him figure it out.

I think he needs to start. He keeps playing with half assed lineups. Let's see what happens when he's the 5th best player in the lineup.

The problem is that as a non-primary ballhandler, he would likely be relegated to the dunker only in that lineup. 3 point shooting is the primary need from a 5th player given our starting 4 players.

[12 Point Buck]

Beasley won't be the starter, clear role for him off the bench as a guy who throws up 3's with the bench unit and takes pressure off our halfcourt offense. Doesn't make sense at all next to Dame

If I had to base it completely off of what I have seen so far it will probably be Beasley based on his ability to defend the 2. If you are comfortable with Crowder defending the 2, it is also possible you see him.

The argument is for either Marjon or Pat as starter.

Pat would get rinsed on D all game as a starter

Robin working the refs at a midseason level already.

I'm envisioning a world where he doesn't need to shoot and can just slash and crash the rim.

[Matches Malone]

Robin really is sideshow bob. Don't get him angry, he'll stab you behind that smile.

[ShootingtheJ]

Wiggington isn't good, but he's also the best pure PG on the floor for either team today.

[Balls2TheWalls]

The refs are starting to let a ridiculous amount of body checking through screens go.

[greekbuck34]

I don't want to overreact but our starting SG in the finals will be Thanasis.

[Fotis St]

So why Jimmy was mad about Griffin back in Chicago, what was the issue?

I think he was being sarcastic.

[RiotPunch]

Horst really pulled a double-whammy bringing in Stotts. Him being in Griff's ear and undoubtedly making Dame feel at home.

[Balls2TheWalls]

Marjon seems to be getting caught by surprise by people behind him in transition. His method has a lot of hesitation to it going to the hoop. He is probably overthinking it.

[Chad34]

Marjon who were you passing to

[Matches Malone]

They are close so he was teasing him a bit.

[fan230]

I like AG giving Thanasis opportunity at the offensive end. Bud rarely gave that.

[Fotis St]

I want Dosunmu on green

[Chad34]

Marjon’s going to be good, just needs to get some seasoning this year

[GoldenAntlers]

Typical 3rd quarter slump.
