JK has been creating a lot of shots so far this preseason. Needs to cut down on his TO's but he is caving the defense and making good reads.

Podz still like to drive the lane and go off with his pivot foot.

GP2 and Gui have been doo doo.

So far Post is the same player he was last season. Doesn't look any stronger.

Hate to quote cpower on this because I’ve had many a good convo with him/her over the years… but this was a funny moment of maybe just sit back and watch the game unfold type of moment.

Podz was fantastic tonight. And so were other rotation players including JK at times. If anything i’m intrigued to see how Dray plays in the first real games, because right now he’s looking a bit rough. But he has definitely earned the right to be rough basically until playoff time.

It's nice to see JK back in the post. But he's always thrived when he has a size advantage. When he has to actually dribble by someone with traffic it's when he gets into trouble. But he played fine for the most part, making passes. I do wonder how long we're going to let him lead the 2nd unit without Steph or Jimmy. Not sure it's going to be winning basketball in the long haul.

Podz looked good. Taking mid range shots. Getting into the paint. Creating shots, running the break. Needs some more work / creativity when he gets into the paint, but he looked like he's ready to take a leap. No he's not a franchise guy but he's learning how to create some offense, which is a good step to take.

GP2 should be out of the rotation once Melton gets back.

Will Richard is probably a few years away but he looks like he might be able to be ok defensively if he were to get some playing time.

Not too worried about Dray yet since it's the pre-season and he has a long history of not caring when games don't matter, but he hasn't looked good.

you did not watch the first quarter did you? he was terrible in the first , -7 and 1/3 on wide open threes and a few TOs. Had great 3rd quarter when Reaves went down lets see if he can put a few good games together. One thing about Podz is he only takes the widest open threes. That is not a good sign,

At least he's not turning down open 3s anymore. Are you trying to say Reaves is some type of stopper?

Didn't see the game -- but I read the box score. JK with 0 rebounds in 22 minutes. Podz ALWAYS outrebounds JK. How does that happen? Anyway, Spencer -17, Richard -13, JK -10 +/-. An exhibition game featuring a lot of guys who won't get minutes in the RS.

No Draymond. No Jimmy. No Moses. Rookie Will Richard starting.

I'm in the OKC market. I've lived here 5 years and Have only seen a handful of Thunder games due to being blacked out.

I do have the game but it's Portland announcers only.

Warriors are hunting back down post looks for Kuminga. I'm intrigued!

Seems I'm blacked out here in the East bay, 2nd pre-season game. I don't get it, I pay so much for this stuff. I have NBC Sports Bay Area.

I had to go to Amazon and there is a free trial of league pass you can sign up for.

Some nice defensive possessions but some overdribbling on the other end.

Podz 0 for 3 to start. Consistent scoring is what he needs to work on

Both Podz and Kuminga have to always remember to pass and relocate. Both have a tendency to try to do too much. Trust the process, I mean system.

I can't see podz or Jk playing a starter role on any good teams.
