Hard to win NBA games when the opposing side makes double your 3s.

This starting 5 unit sucks. Doubt Coby will help it. Matas is the only good 2-way player. Otherwise it's gonna be four 1-ways.

I don't dislike Okoro, but I have a feeling he's gonna be overplayed by Billy to lackluster results. I'm doubling down on my opinion... even if Tre, Okoro, Jalen are "cheap", altogether with Pat, we're gonna have $50M cumulatively invested in below-average bench role-players, instead of planning for something bigger and better.

Atleast Matas is looking great. Like a legit competitor against the great Giannis.

Ok nevermind Okoro is better than Pat. He actually attempted to crash the offensive boards and then showed nice touch on a lefty floater.

But then airballs a corner 3. Back to even

Giannis is good

If anything, vuc is saving energy for retirement.

as a bit of an ayo skeptic, i have to admit that so far in the preseason he looks a lot closer to "best player on the team" than "guy we're fine letting walk in the offseason"

If we are planning on trying to win games, we need to bench Vuc ASAP. Let him try and bum slay.

Giddey/Coby/Okoro/Buzelis/Collins is a much more balanced lineup.

Well thru 3 games it looks like Patrick actually earned playing time.
