im watching but what can you say flashes of maybe something there, followed by long stretches of very amateur play gary harris is acting like cole running down the court and throwing up 3's i have to say, our FO should be feeding us some info about JI and Marquelle if for no other reason than to keep fans from losing all hope

I had convinced myself that Marqulle would be back tonight. It would be a perfect way to steal the thunder from the basketball gods with KD and Harden in town. I wish the F.O. would give us some kind of up date

I posted last week that i was at the game and saw quite the opposite from the accusations that keep flying here. The man was engaged, coaching the rooks along and playing for the team. And I agree, a much more all around player, rather than bombing from 3 all the time. Now is it time for him to go? Maybe, his time line does not match and if we can get decent return. But from what I have seen, not because he is a bad influence.

OK I am very disappointed tonight we should have won this game. How long did it take cole and jalen to score their first points at least half way through second I have to tell you, I was watching the game at a bar where most were watching football or baseball so no sounds i could not tell when there was a stoppage of play! both teams were so slow and disconnected it always looked like a stoppage of play! for the first time this season, very discouraged

HI I was at the game last night. I have not looked at box score or stats so time of this may not hold up under scrutiny but this is how I felt there. A few observations: 1) Fans are very late arriving which is disappointing for the start of the game. Started with about 20% seats full 80% by start of 3rd. (no masks required) 2) As has been noted, starting 5 play extremely well. We get into trouble when we break the line up. But those 5 dont play as well when they return. Part of that may be that unless I missed something. Those 5 dont ever play together again. There is always a starting 4 plus a bench player. (For example, I dont remember Moe and Wendell playing together after we broke.) They could have and I missed it , but it is something that stood out to me. 3) Speaking of Moe, he is playing very well and very hard, but when they sit him down he looks completely gassed. Dont know if he is still struggling with conditioning or that is just who he is always going to be. 4) Franz was amazing. Seeming to always be in the right place. 5) Suggs struggled. He also seemed to always be in the right place, but often did not execute. His ability to see the game when he does not have the ball is very good. He made some great passes. But it seems when he gets the idea to score, he loses his vision and drives into very bad situations, or misses too many open shots. Plus many turn overs, his handle is not great. From what I see, right now, he is not a good point guard. (yes I know rookie first year and all... not calling him a bust, I guess I just expected a more "Ready for prime time" player) 6) Cole very often plays for himself, ignoring everyone else. Last night his shot was falling, so he is not the reason that we lost. But I saw him take too many difficult shots when others were open for easier ones. 7) Harris and hampton were space fillers. Moe Wagner was serviceable , though not as good as last game. 8) I dont think I saw iggy or robin in at all 9) A lot has been said negatively about T-Ross and his attitude on the court. I saw quite the opposite. He seemed to be taking a leadership role. Always looking around. Checking guys positions, talking.. etc And he seems to be being used in a more all around role. He is not just bombing for three and hoping to score or get fouled. I had no issue at all with him last night. 10) It was good to see J.I., Chuma, and MCW on the bench and cheering guys. But I was a little confused with Fultz. He was there. And came in with the guys on every time out. And I am sure he was cheering, though I never noticed. But he did not sit on the bench. He stood against the hockey dasher. Not a big deal, but seemed odd if he wants to be one of the leaders of this team. Ok thats it On to Toronto

dont mind the loss we got to see some of the other folks not that they showed alot lol we were up by like nine when they brought out the end of bench

and then there is that wild 3 lol

its hard to pull him though when he is doing well 16 points long 3's a big blow by layup just now

yeah mo wagner doing great and yes cole playing hero ball he blew that 2 for one with too much dribbling and a bad pass but hey preseason first game. just hope he doesn't continue how he ended last year

wow nice few minutes

ok 2 great blocks from suggs

yeah im more concerned by some of suggs decision making he seems to be the opposite of anthony only looking to shoot if there is no one else to pass to he needs to claim his space a bit more

suggs is a bit disappointing though i know first game etc etc but...

good to see Bamba playing so hard

ah i thought today was it thanks
