what's not to like about 6'9" centers who can't shoot?

Tacko is actually the only player who I'd trust to post up tonight. Not sure why we keep trying it.

Yes! Poirier! Said no one

Maybe Semi's path to staying on the team is to slim down and let Grant have the backup 4.

Semi and Grant have been really impressive tonight

Yikes. Eric Gordon, no contact injury. Hopefully just the ankle but could be Achilles?

Looked like he did clip Poirier's foot, to me. Good ankle roll, I think.

Poiriers size 18's reshaping the Western conference

Just what we need, a 6'5" power forward. If anyone needs to lose weight it's Williams. So he can play the 3 where he at least approximates the size and length for the position if not skill and athleticism.

Looked like a common sprain, but he is struggling.

Poitier can’t possibly be this bad right?

Does Houston not have a second unit or are they really trying to win this scrimmage

Why are Harden and westbrook playing still?

Makea no sense.

Gordon hurts himself and why? Lol

Sincerely doubt Grant will ever have the mobility for that. We probably wouldn't even want him to, for what he'd lose in strength. Just the wrong body type.

Ain't nothing wrong with some selective smallball minutes.

Grant Williams is looking good.
He'll get some Playoff mins.

Honestly they probably just wanted a good quality workout in a real game setting, and are annoyed that we didn't oblige.

He’s 6’7.75” in shoes but go off king. You’re right he absolutely blows despite every metric showing he’s a huge plus as a defender.

And now he has 14 pts and 5/6 from the field tonight...
