[framer]

Hendricks had 4 rebounds in 12 minutes.
Dunn shot 100% from the field for a team leading 15 points.

Keyonte 5 assists
Dunn 5 assists
Sexton 5 assists
THT 1 lonely assist.

 

[whatthe]

Dunn, Key, Ochai grouping was the best. I would move Lauri to the 4 and have Collins have backup 5 minutes.

With THT/Dunn we have two solid PGs.

Trade Sexton when you can.

After one game… Dunn is the man. Can trade THT or Sexton, but it’s only one game.

Also leads the team with the worst + / - and fouls. Worst thing about it is I don’t dislike the guy… just find I begin to root against him so your inane posts slow down.

He got called for a foul where Kawhi shot the ball backwards and a bad blocking foul against Bones...

If you're using +/- in a preseason game you're beyond hope.

Also hilarious you are going to admit to basing your opinion solely out of spite because you got no hoop knowledge

They aren't going to do that. They are going to try and figure out how to make it work with Collins because that's the pathway to the highest potential

 

[idiot]

Exceeded (my own) expectations:

• Dunn
• Luka
• Yurtseven

On par:

• Hendricks
• Agbaji
• THT
• Kessler

Below:

• Lauri
• Clarkson
• Olynyk
• (Doesn't really matter on these first three)
• Collins
• Sexton
• Keyonte
• Simone

I wish I was built like ochai

I’m admitting that you are that annoying…

Go back and read your posts. When THT started hot and Sexton slow it was like the happiest moment of your life. You have problems. I don’t know what Sexton did to you, but surely a professional could help you.

You don’t like + / -… how about fg%…. How about assist to turnover ratio… wait… that’s right; you are the eyeball guy, right? No stat can dissuade you that THT is the greatest player to ever live and Sexton should be out of the NBA. And if anyone disagrees with you, or provides stats to disprove you; well, here come the insults.

It just gets old that every thread has to be the same crap every time.

My take aways:
1) Taylor Hendricks has no idea what is going on, but just watching him run and shoot you can tell he is going to make it in the league. Everything is obviously fast right now, but I was very happy with what I saw.
2) The team needs a general to maximize the talent. I don’t think we can do well without this piece.
3) THT is not the answer.
4) Dunn is the best guard on the team. Everyone plays harder when he is on the floor. He looks like a nice compliment/steadying hand to George.
5) Samanic is not a winner. All he does is shoot. I would hate playing with him.
6) Yurtseven is a player. Looked good to me.
Edit:
7) Sexton was abused defensively. He seems to want to put in effort, but just was a sieve. Might be unplayable for a good team.

Do you ever work? You've got time to watch preseason games? You sicken me.

 

[Isaiah 1:13]

Game balls for Agbaji, Dunn and Samanic, not necessarily in that order.
