CMB playing smart D on Demar. Not biting on the pump fakes and bodying him. Very nice.

IQ trying to beat guys off the dribble does not generally go too well. Once in a while he will get a half step and draw a foul but it's not pretty when he doesn't get the call.

Cmb is a better draymond than Barnes. Trade Barnes for as much value as you can get. Get some 3 and d guys, actual proven guys and trade dick for a future first rounder

Darko is an amazing coach. Got us playing that euro ball, everybody shine everyone hustle. It doesn't matter if you have a crummy game offensively as long as you're doing the other things, playing smart

RJ is a talent. Really hope he can put it together

Trade Barnes for an upgrade at PG and bring IQ off the bench as the sixth man.

I forget the commentator who said CMB could have a "Scottie-lite" rookie season i.e. fills up the stats and impacts winning without necessarily being high usage or having plays drawn up for him.

Seeing him in preseason...yeah I can buy that for sure.

Or you can just understand skillsets and build a more balanced team and maximize value out of a peaked Barnes

Boyles looks much better than Barnes defensively. Also looks like he can contain his man one on one with good lateral quicks something Barnes can’t do

The pressure is on Scottie to play winning basketball. I'm not ready to.count him out yet though.
Clock is ticking.
After having to live through role crisis with FVV, Pascal, and OG I can't stomach it again.
Scottie should be doing exactly what CMB out there.

how is scottie gonna fit in with the starters, poeltl does the big man stuff, quick will spread the floor and shoot 3s, rj is our best downhill threat and 2nd option, and ingram is our 1st option...wtf is scottie gonna do on offense? he looked totally lost the other night
