I’ve got to miss the whole game so I have to record it. Hopefully I can have it on at work if it’s a slow day.

oh well at least with Schroeder we will have a terrible record.

Schroder can't even make a simple entry pass to the post. How is this dude so awful at anything point guard related

So far Steven Adams is proving my assumptions to be correct. I thought he'd be the player who would benefit the most from Westbrook's departure.

So far it looks like he's expanding his offensive game and I also suspect that we'll see big jump in his rebound numbers now that he no longer has to concede rebounds to triple double chasing Westbrook.

Ball and prayer movement has been pretty good. Having so many guys comfortable with the ball is pretty cool.

You cannot go under a screen in Paul, and Steven is TOUGH to get over a screen on. Open threes have been wet

Steven scoring 8-10 in the first quarter has been a thing for the last two years.

Good to see Nerlens still would rather go up without actually dunking & just try to guide the ball towards the rim

Starting Schroeder is so dumb (that's so Billy Donovan). Dude is terrible and we won't find any decent trade for him...meanwhile we need to develop our young guys...smh

Bazley looks quick

Indeed. The player movement has really stood out. Hopefully this just isn't a short-term phase because we've been complaining for years about guys doing too much standing and watching in Donovan's and Brooks' offenses.

Also, it's nice having guards out there who can make teams pay for going under screens.

Bazley looking good. Gallo is so good obviously (damn I hope we won't get unlucky this time and he will be healthy so we can trade him for some nice asset).

I'm all in for the rebuild but damn I can't watch Schroeder/Donovan anymore.

Starting with CP3/Schroeder/SGA is so bad for SGA omg. He barely touched the ball.

I would think Billy intends to put Roberson in the starting unit at SG when the real season starts or as soon as he is geared up. If.

But there is some chance this is the starting unit at least for awhile.

This is going to be a fun team. I'm really excited.

Shai gon give it to ya

SGA gotta be top 2 in terms of letters on a jersey in these home whites

Post #817 » by **Dadouv47** » Wed Oct 9, 2019 1:47 am

I love SGA so much. He's the main reason I'm so excited about the rebuild.

kdthunderup · Post #818 » by **kdthunderup** » Wed Oct 9, 2019 1:53 am

SGA straight up looks amazing, can't believe we got him and a historical haul of draft picks. It's going to be fun to watch the team that we build around him.

I’m where I can’t watch anything and I’m getting alerts that Adams is hitting threes. What the heck is going on?

Ferg's release has gotten quicker.
