That max contract absolutely comes with elevated expectations. He didn’t deserve the max and the expectations are that he develops into it.

Damn wide open 3s man. I just don't get how professional NBA players can miss them much...

Offense doesn’t look good when it isn’t getting generated off defensive plays.

I love this defense

If Paolo averaged 80% from the line and Franz 40% from 3, we'd probably average 2.5 more ppg.

Man I just don't like how Paolo & Franz look... But it's pre season I guess

Even though Orlando can’t score, at least they are defending.

Harris is the backup 2.

We are missing some seemingly makeable shots

Gary and Moe first in. Now why would they do that in the dress rehearsal?

I really need Paolo to make quicker decisions with the ball but my goodness, they are all building a wall around him.

As entirely expected.

We’ll be contenders if they get there :lol:

Just for the record, I don’t care about literally anything that happens in the preseason good or bad.

Just get me to the first game.

KCP/Harris is a good 3 and D tandem.

Sadly, a lot of them are wide open, except for Paolo’s because he’s choosing to run and shoot over the swarm that’s surrounding him.

Harris might thrive if he only plays 18 mpg against backups

KCP and Quinton Richardson have kids that played in the same league as my son. Sat right behind them. I played it cool of course

Paolo and Franz playing the whole 1st quarter
