I was super impressed with the defense from the second unit. The personel to be a top defensive team is there. It’s just reps now, they need to keep playing and getting used to each other.
The rebounding was a major problem on Saturday just like last year. The Clips have 4 really good shooters in Kawhi, Harden, Norm, & Batum. Mann & Coffey are solid shooters.
Dunn & DJJ both shoot just 32% from three for their careers. So I’m concerned about the spacing as well as the rebounding. And I think the Clips will still have issues creating offense when Harden sits down.
James is still very creative I think your lens is fucked up bro
DJJ still needs to work on his shooting a little but the defence was awesome especially from kriss dunn KPJ was good on both ends.
What did you guys think of the Preseason opener?
Love you dime
Dunn had 0 points in 20 mins I told you bruh useless
Will you report on Lebrons amazing pre season performance?
Harden got fouled bro, he’s not letting guys off the hook, keep hand out of the cookie jar maybe
This is what the pre season game is for, i thought you don't care about the pre season, keep all your worries till you see game 1 against phoenix. Harden probably gonna be gone by next year. If you think coaches not seeing what you seeing then I don't know what to say to you.
Good episode, Kai looks raw but I like that he kept challenging shots didn’t get blocks but effected the attempts also Kobe Brown is nice he looks to rebound almost everytime I saw him he was in the paint trying to rebound gotta keep working on the 3 ball though
Offensive boards match up concerning
Same problems as usual. Horrendous ball stopping, turnovers and no rebounding. Sadly guys I thought were gonna help looked awful
I feel Bones plays too much street ball (meaning individual ball) Kobe has a lot of promise and has improved. KPJ will come around.
Dunn looks unplayable…kpj can have his spot. Coffee & kpj are going to be a nice combo. Kobe Brown looks terrible. Bones looking selfish. Miller looked good on the few times they shared the ball with him. Jones Jr isn't great either.
It’s hard to come to any conclusions after just 1 preseason game, but the one thing I think we need to do is give Kobe brown solid rotation minutes. I would actually like to see him start at the 4 spot especially in those game kawhi doesn’t play. – Kai jones gave great effort but the dude looks like Gumby out there, and is a step too slow in every way. His timing is pretty bad, Even with screen setting which is something he absolutely needs to do well if he wants to find minutes. Maybe Nico can take him under his wing but I just don’t see much use for him as a rotation player at this moment. I liked what I saw from KPJ to a degree but I need to see more. If we’re going to be a very good team we will need good production and efficiency from him. Zu looked great and this should be a break out year for him. – Overall the defensive outlook looks very good for this team. I’m just wondering where the extra offense will come from. Id like to see it from Kobe and KPJ. – and sad to say because I do like bones, but I just don’t know how we’re going to find him minutes. I just don’t know about his fit.
I thought kpj looked great. He dribbles with purpose and looks to pass. Bones was really rough to watch…..super selfish .
What can we get for Bones, PJ, Jones Jr and Kobe Brown.
