My first gameday thread (I think)

If we lose never allow me to make one again

Hope it’s precautionary and all 3 better be ready to go in 12 days.

Allen and DBook most likely.
Nurk remains to be seen.

Addedit: I'm not spotting KD at the shootaround...
Addedit II: Nah... he's joining them now.

Harris coming for an All-NBA Preseason 1st team.

The "live and die by the 3" strategy is going to cause so much pain this season. I can just feel it.

The Pistons can’t miss

We've got two great mid-range shooters, and a guy with a great floater game. I think we'll be okay.

The funniest play from the whole Early Pre Season:

Suns 6/21 from deep

Tyus Jones is still good, at least

Good to have a bit of a reality check in pre season

Both my teams sucking hard today. At least for the Suns it's only preseason.

Not great to see -20 for our starters against the Pistons lol

Still not liking our offense looks like last year, not playing much pick and roll with the PGs

Early pre Season...

This stuff happens all the time.

After checking box score and saw Cade had a big game with Ryan starting thought this time he cooked him, but after watching parts of the game and highlights it was mostly against RO. Dunn was pretty solid again on D, offense is another story. He's been a consistent 50% FT shooter. He and Okogie are still the best defenders on this team so if they are not terrible on offense Royce is expendable for a better PF/C. Oso is not ready and Mason looks kinda washed despite showing some chemistry with Monte. Read on another board that Nurk is progressing so I hope he's ready for the start of the season.

This one was our worst game of the Preseason.

It's difficult to win two consecutive games against any NBA team and we didn't have Book, Grayson and Nurk.

Tobias and Cunningham scored everything and they outmatched our starting five.

Dunn and Oso didn't have good games on offense but Dunn defended pretty well again. Two outstanding blocks and he is great navigating screens and staying in front of his man.

Next game tomorrow.
