I really don't like Spencer at SG. He doesn't seem to look comfortable

I feel the same way but I want to give MDA, Dinwiddie, and the staff 10 or so games to figure it out.

We’re so lucky that we can put almost anybody around KD & Kyrie and still have a dominant offense, so having Dinwiddie struggle in finding out whether he can succeed as the off-guard shouldn’t be too detrimental for us (unless Din keeps forcing these idiotic passes to DJ).

Caris is a better floor general/traditional PG than Dinwiddie, so I actually understand having Caris as ‘our Ginobili’ off the bench, as Nash suggested.

Main takeaway for me is that KD looks really good physically, doesn’t look like he’s lost much at all.

I rather have our depth than Harden or Beal. This team looking scary good. Let us get some burn and fighting out.

LeVert is looking great as the super 6th man

Yet again, I’m amazed at how efficiently we score. I thought we were up by a few points and then I looked at the box and saw we were up 15.

The offense isn’t even optimized yet lol.

I want Spencer feeling comfortable to go north south even when KD and Kyrie are on the floor. He seems hesitant

It really seem like they have no chance. I get the fact I'm a BK fan but it'll get ugly once we figure things out.

That's what I was noticing, it didn't seem like we were really running anything, but it could just be me getting used to Nash/D'Antoni ball.

I’ve been listening to a lot of our players’ media sessions.

IIRC, Jarrett said Nash/MDA want to implement a lot more and will do so over the course of the season. However, due to the short training camp and preseason, they’re only running the fundamentals of the offense with a few wrinkles.

In other words, we can (and should) get much better on the offensive end. That’s scary.

If this is base level offense for this team, God help the league
