we need that asappppppp

Did he post any scrimmage with siakam at all?

He streamed like 7minutes or so of the scrimmage live on his instagram. Siakam looked real good.
Unfortunately, he refuses to upload the full video.

Oh yeah I remember that

When we beat Milwaukee for a third time Giannis basically has to sign with us, right?

Rondae/Lowry/OG/Pascal/Gasol

We need more shooting than that.

It's very likely our end of game lineup are the remaining champs: Kyle, Fred, Pascal, Serge, and Marc

Every player in that lineup can hit a three pointer and all of them are pretty good shooters on the whole, including free throws.

That'll work situationally, but you cant have 2 bigs against a lot of teams in this league. And serge is not the kind of 4 that will punish other teams for going small. I have hopes Rondae can become a serviceable backup 4 for us

In the east it's Brook Lopez + Giannis and Joel + Horford as far as the top two teams goes

I love Marc Gasol and he has shown well for the Spanish NT, but I am worried about him for the season. This was a long year: Finals run, FIBA commitment and finals run, right into training camp.

They are going to have to monitor or load management his minutes. My concern is that there is not back-up C after Ibaka. Guys like Boucher and Hernandez are not great fits as back-up C.
