Game starts at 12:30.

Should be fun to see what the rotations look like.

The audio for this game is so amateur. This organization should be embarrassed. WTF.

Outside of the 2 way/bottom of the roster lineup, everyone has been playing pretty well.

Like they cant even pay for a couple randos to call the game in person. They pump in the radio feed for the audio. Kind of pathetic

Amateur hour. I was at the Lakers Minnesota game on Friday night in Palm Springs and I saw Stu Lantz and Bill McDonald out there on the court before the game. Seems like we are the only ones this cheap.

I noticed we have a new player now that will ******** me off every time he touches the court. Javonte Green

Decent game. Missing two big names and giving a bunch of minutes to fringe players. Glad Hawk had his bounce back from summer league. Much better performance today.

Where was Ingram?

Cool, without Trey and Ingram. Can't wait for the season to start.

Good:

Daniel Theis. He has the mid range spacing needed from a big man playing next to Zion and he's decent defensively. Not a sexy high ceiling player but maybe just what the team needs out of its center.

Jordan Hawkins. I didn't see him as much of a contributor this year because the team is so deep but with him defending like that and being a good catch and shoot 3 point threat, he might take minutes from some people yet.

Zion. if he can avoid the injury curse, looks ready for a career year.


Bad:

Pelicans 3 point shooting. CJ was the only guy giving us volume and accuracy. It's not good enough, especially if they are thinking about reducing CJ's minutes and moving him to the bench.

The scrub team, except for Malcolm Hill who showed out. Man like 3 of those guys were bad enough that I don't even want to see them in another preseason game. Almost gave the game away with an 8 point lead and 20 seconds to go.

The broadcast... lol

Someone needs to take Naji's minutes. Might as well be Hawk

Hopefully he won't play at all once we get Ingram and TM3 back

Hes at best 12th or 13th in the rotation. Maybe they just wanted a look at him agianst decent talent. Looking for that next Naji or Jose.

Hopefully he doesn't play even with those guys out lol at least Matt Ryan has that flame thrower. I'm interested to see some more Malcolm Hill, he could be the DNP coach's decision guy who fills in during injuries.

Javonte was legitimately decent last year (statistically anyways), so maybe it is just a change in scenery for him. Have to see more of him before I really count him out.

Game at Orlando was canceled due to hurricane. Probably a good thing. Next game I believe is Sunday.

Yeah that’s a good cancel. It is non sense to play the same team twice in a row in the preseason anyway. It’s lazy scheduling.

Not sure if it was just clickbait, but is it true that Herb is going to be playing center for us??
