Thought we could bundle the 3 preseason games into one thread. Blow it up if I’m in error assuming this.

First things first

There's not a lot of shooting left on the roster with Beal, Bertans, Bryant and Robinson out. Hopefully, Garrison Mathews will get a chance to shine.

Could Mathews 3pt shot attempts be in double digits this game ?

Wow. Avdija is impressive. Dropping dimes, playing great defense, drilling 3s. He looks good

Lol horrible coaching in a preseason game. Brooks has Wagner and Lopez playing together with Wagner guarding Kevin Durant.

Bonga looks outstanding defensively vs Durant. Mathews also looks solid on that end.

WIz are not properly coach. That is evident so far.

Lopez chucks a wide open 3 off the backboard. The Wagner Lopez frontcourt is brutal and hopefully never happens again.

New season, same defense. What is up with these double 7 footer lineups? This isn't 1990

I didn't hate how the first unit played defense despite getting lit up. The nets just made their shots. The second unit was a disaster though

Garrison is clearly an nba rotation player and shouldn't go back to the g-league

Mathews drills a stepback 3 with a foul. His second tough made 3. I actually think both were counted as 2s with foot on line, but Mathews is balling

Mathews is fun to watch.

If Jerome Robinson plays over Mathews, its wrong.

This guy is lethal. Oh my goodness
