missed the dunk but i like the aggression from Walsh. 7'2" wingspan, he's gonna make that dunk more often than not.
Nothing wrong with having a different opinion - as long as it's done respectfully. It'd be lame if we all agreed on everything :)

Stevens has looked great all preseason, when he plays.

Everyone available played except for Kornet which is interesting. Maybe Kornet is not 100%

One weakness with Gabriel is that sometimes guys can finish over him at the rim kind of easily. The downside of being 6'9" and skinny. And sometimes is a tad late getting there, and timing sometimes might be just off when contesting at the rim..

I’ve only watched this and the Knicks game. Was drunk during both but damn I’ve been putting some money on this team lol. Barring injuries we’re a bigtime contender. Thats just abc basketball from top to bottom of the roster imo. Good vibes.

We've got Lamar in there as a small ball 5.

And we've got JD and Steward both in at the same time.

Mazzulla giving every guy a chance to get in there in the last preseason game..except Kornet?

Lamar can't shoot for **** but he's still a freaking boss.

Stevens has good touch in the paint. I could definitely see him playing rotation minutes.

Nice sequence for Lamar. Dude looks cut. And he's moving quick, with some good energy. Showed nice athleticism on that dunk earlier, too.

Agreed. I think Lamar is a little better.

Better, more versatile defender..and better finisher. around the rim too.


I agree but we need what Brissett could bring at PF more.
"I think the criticism's stupid," Stevens said. "So I don't care. I'm with Jaylen (Brown) on that. Those two had achieved more than most 25 and 26 year olds ever had. I'd rather be in the mix and have my guts ripped out than suck."

Benton plays too loose but he has upside.
