I wish KCP was more involved in the offense though, hopefully the regular season he is.

Good game for Dre/Reggie. Can't be mad.

5 turnovers isn't good. That's bad!

Preseason is practice. Nothing more.

Winning or losing means absolutely nothing.

Except for intensity, this team hasn't shown it for a full game yet this preseason, effort and intensity isn't something that needs to be coached, either players have it or they don't.
Preseason. I'll be concerned if there are massive ups and downs in the regular season.

You have to remember that we don't have blake, or Jennings back at pg. Spencer has just been destroying any flow in the game everytime he steps on the floor.

Why do you think reggie played that minute in the 4th?

New players added, I expect there to be lapses.

jackattaq might be worse than maker_84. He actually seems serious with his extreme pessimism

it's really nice to see Drummond put up 17 without getting any lobs thrown to him.

The results aren't important, but the team should be doing the right things even if they aren't going at 100%. Dinwwiddie especially looked very underwhelming. Couldn't create on offense and got beat on D. If he can't hold his own in preseason, then when can he?

Not to sound negative but dont really see what Meeks provides that makes him better than Bullock as backup SG. Bullock looks to be just as good a shooter but is way better defensively, and also legit size for position.

I would rather see Bullock with the 2nd unit over him tbh

You'll find no Dinwiddie defense here...he's been horrible since the summer. At the same time SVG is also getting to see that and will take the correct actions for the reg season. Too much doom and gloom over meaningless pre season games.

This too. It seems like he has no role on offense. Id rather start SJ at SG if that is going to be the case. We need to get something from that postition this year

I was actually thinking about that tonight too..maybe getting to the line but thats about it for things Meeks is better at.

There's a good chance Meeks gets traded with another player like Ilyasova for a better PF in the middle of the season. That way Bullock could play back up with Stanley. It's possible

Not really doom and gloom, just slightly disappointed with what I saw. I don't think Dinwiddie is going to stick around very long tbh. He showed a few flashes last season, but hasn't been able to consistently produce. It's too bad because Jennings is still a while off and blake is old as s. Dinwiddie had consistent minutes on a platter and he's done everything to lose them.
SJs finishing was a concern in college. Hopefully he get that out of his system because he's doing the hard work to get to the rim and then doesn't utilize. He made up for some misses though.

Oh no I didn't mean that at you as far as doom and gloom lol referring to others on that one. Agreed on Dinwiddie and it's a shame because he looked so promising last season. Yea to me his finishing troubles were overblown in college. Number 1 option on a team with not many offensive options. Defenses are going to collapse and skew numbers. He's having rookie moments and will learn.

No based on Meeks career of being an undersized one way SG, and Bullock being a former 1st rd pick showing potential to be a better option as a legit 3&D guy.

Again not saying this to be negative towards Meeks, just being honest and thinking what might be best for the team. Its not like Meeks being underwhelming is something new to this preseason only. He was inconsistent and poor defensively all last year. If we might have an upgrade at his role on the roster now, who is cheaper and younger, thats a positive to me.

Didn't watch the game but the boxscore was underwhelming. Andre beasted on the boards but 17 points on 20 shots is bad. Too many TOs for Reggie. At least Ilyasova had a good game.
