So far great defense SGA looks more comfortable with the starters. Gives the unit another playmaker to help Gallo and Beverly. Tobias is such a great compliment piece I’m hoping he will come back. Gallonari is looking like a allstar he’s playing at a different speed picking the defense apart.

I hope what we've seen so far isn't indicative of how much Doc is going to play Boban during the season. Forget being a fan favorite and acting like he's nothing more than just some freakish brute cause of his size. The guy produces on both sides of the court at a highly efficient rate. It would be detrimental to the team's success to not play him around 15 minutes a night, especially if he's adding a three point shot to his arsenal.

Don't like what I've seen from Scott so far, but signs are pointing to him cracking the rotation right off the bat. I think his minutes should belong to Bobi to start the season.

Considering how empty the arena was, and it being a pre-season game, the crowd was up beat and fun tonight. Mainly when Boban entered the game.

I know it's pre-season and there's always knee-jerk reactions one way or another, but if Gallo/Tobi both can stay healthy, and put up consistent points, I could see the squad fighting for the 6th seed.

Shai makes me horny. He looks like he's gonna be so good a few years down the line, if he can keep knocking catch and shoot jumpers he might be the perfect guard to pair with a scorer. I like him playing with the starters too, I hope Doc doesn't fall in love with Bradley and realises this.

We're gonna lose a lot but we're gonna be really fun to watch I think, we're gonna score a ton and just give those points back on the other end. The Gallo-Tobias pair can be a lot of fun on offense.

The Wolves look horrific though, I feel for their fans. Hopefully they can get something nice for Butler and build on it.

I love those 30+ dimes too, no star, no ball hugging.

MKWest thanks again for all the clips. You are da man!!!

This team could surprise some people. It doesn't have a superstar or even an all star but its got some interesting pieces. I'm a little concerned about the lack of rim protection but I'm optimistic.

Harris
Gall
Lou
Bev
SGA
Boban

They could be fun to watch.

Popovich · Post #15 » by **Popovich** » Thu Oct 4, 2018 3:08 pm

Boban can be used only when opposing team has a center who is not shooting from outside. Otherwise he can't defend.

I understand your reasoning and it is definitely correct but I'd rather take my chance with Boban 3 feet from the hoop at times than some bigs shooting 30 feet from the hoop. I think the NBA has gotten so small that they sometimes have no idea how to handle a big man with legit post play.

Yeah SGA needs to start having another playmaker on the floor helps Gallo and lets Beverly play more freely.

Settle down Mike Smith
