It will be nice to get some pre-season time for everyone to work through things together and figure things out. Last pre-season Towns had just lost a bunch of weight from his illness and missed most of the pre-season and Gobert was tired from playing summer ball. Let's figure out a good balance of all of players and how to stagger in Reid into the lineup with enough minutes.

I just ordered a free trial to NBA league pass and I think I'm going to buy it. $100 for the entire NBA Season.

Is there a deal right now? I did a deal last year and really enjoyed it. Being able to see any game was fun, especially when the standings were neck and neck.

2 things I love seeing early a KAT three and a Rudy put back.

Anyone know why?

I've got no sound so didn't hear why.

Yep, we are getting the chip this year, KAT is getting MVP. I have seen enough. Send the reserves in, and cancel all pre-season games after this. Book it.

NAW just ran double-screen in transition with KAT and Rudy and it worked. Feed inside to Rudy for FTs.

Not sure. I assume because he played in Fiba. Don’t want to overwork him yet and seeing what other players can do..??

I concur. We don't need Ant to beat the Mavs anyway.

I just checked and it’s listed as a left ankle sprain.

I don't think it's a deal. Just the regular rate, but I could be wrong. I was wrong once before so it could possibly happen again.

Hopefully, we get uniforms after we win the championship this year.

Surprising seeing Luka play the entire first quarter in a pre season game.

You know, I’ve been debating whether Naz or SloMo would be our sixth man, but I think it could be NAW!

More need for a wing, great defense, and he’s filling the box score. 2-2 3P’s, 3 RB, 4 AST, 1 BLK .. in one quarter? Active.
