GT Wiz vs Raps, the TreJ era begins

Bub has looked terrible. Also Tre looks way worse than he did during the summer. Playing like Johnny Davis out there.

Bub HAS to be able to hit those shot to mitigate the fact that he STIFLES the offense so-much, how-long will Winger force this…

I think Tre is fine. He had the jitters in the first half and missed an open look or two, but since then, he has been okay. I like the 7 rebounds.

There aren't any other PG's on the roster, except Sharife Cooper I guess.

Kispert playing a selfish brand of basketball…and bricking shots

Yeah, the upside here is that our starters outplayed Toronto's starters. With CJ out there to get us into our sets and Sarr to backstop the defense, we looked pretty good. But it all fell apart when they sat.

Why is there garbage time in preseason? Get Bub and Tre back out there.

Cam is gonna get buckets this year. I think I like him, Key, and Bilal at 2-4.

I like the way Cam has attacked the rim.

Cam got to give you more outside of scoring. He didn't get one rebound. Tre has 7...

Nice to see Tre on the boards because that was a weakness at Texas.

This was FUN!

Who cares about that lob at the basket? It was predictable. That's the Wizards.

Will Riley is a stud.

I missed parts of this. Dillon Jones and Watkins can defend. Cam Whitmore can score.

CJ and Khris are in another stratosphere from what we've had.

Kispert looked sharp.

Kyshawn George was great and awful, depending on defense or offense.

Alex was great. How fun was this for him and his brother and their family and friends?

Bub Carrington was ass.

Man. I had it paused with .8 seconds left and the Monumental app just completed. I cant go back to see the end of the game. The monumental app sucks. I had to pull out hte firestick, because the app doesnt exist in the Samsung TV. I wish the Amazon didn't buy the NBA package. I probably could have used a VPN to watch local games. Monumental app blows.

How's the monumental app for people that have it? I watch through comcast but comcast is pretty expensive so thinking about other options.

Riley showed off the handles that stood out in college. Trying to pressure the ball won't work well against him.

At what point can we blame Keefe? Although we only have one active PG on the roster, Bub stifles the offense IMO.

I don't blame Keefe. I think the league is making a rapid transition to defensive ball pressure based on the success of OKC and Indiana. Our team isn't really built to handle it because our two point guards (CJ and Bub) are really converted shooting guards. The starting unit weathered the pressure pretty well because they had Kyshawn and Sarr as extra ball-handling options to help bail the guards out of traps. The second unit struggled a bit because Vukcevic and Whitmore don't handle the ball as well.

I wonder if Kyshawn George and Wil Riley could play the two backcourt positions together?

Also, we have a lot of big swing men who can play the 2. Watkins and Dillon Jones can defend.
