  1. Walker better be in more during our garbage time lineups

  2. ChurroMemes

    All I need is for Ant to have a good game. I believe he’ll come back to form soon.

    Sharpes jumper is just so..effortless. It’s only a matter of time before he starts sinking more.

    It also doesn’t help he’s on the court with the most horrendous players on the roster. Brandon Williams has me fucked up. Hope he gets an extended run on Thursday

  4. nimbly118

    We got a problem if the team really wants to run BWill and Cacok instead of more Jabari and Shaedon…

  5. redwheelbarrow_

    hope to see more of Jabari next game and hopefully Shaedon gets more touches. GB cant stop jumping lmao

  6. justise fitting in nicely with the starting lineup no lie

  7. Is something wrong with nas? He just looks low energy out there. Something seems off the for the first two games. If he’s starting or not, the nassir last year is still important for this team.

  8. Bobsmauncle

    So who was better? Hart or Winslow for the starting unit?

  9. NevermoreSEA

    It’s okay. I still think we’re elite.

  10. redwheelbarrow_

    Hart seems to be conserving his energy. different playstyle tonight

  11. AngusKing

    Dame look explosive and confident.
    Best Dame incoming

  12. Through 2 games and 26 minutes, B-Will has shot a nice 27% on 11 shots. And even that doesn’t tell the full story

  13. Blazercaster

    To be expected as it’s the preseason, but the rotation is looking like it may need to be tighter than I was hoping for. Still need to see GPII and Watford, obviously, but I’d hoped Nas and one of GBIII or Sharpe would be ready for bigger roles but I’m not sure that they are. Also, Eubanks is not going to be enough at the reserve big spot.

  14. SonofNamek

    I’m guessing B-Will is getting minutes so that when he gets cut, he’ll have enough sample size to get picked up by a team. Because he shouldn’t be getting this many minutes over Walker and Sharpe.

    Otherwise, if you want to succeed in the NBA as a second/third string point guard, start focusing not on being a hero but setting your teammates up. You’ll have more value, the team will get better, and eventually, the floor will open up for you to shoot.

    So far I see one major issue with this team — there’s no pecking order on offense behind dame. I really do think successful teams need to have clear offensive priorities but every guy wants to be a ball handler and/or scorer.

    I think Ant should settle in. Nurk still looks as mercurial/emotional as ever which sucks. Grant looks good, Winslow will if he doesn’t lose the ball. Keon is great on defense and beyond bad on offense. Nas looks like trash which is worrisome.

    We could really use a backup 5, but Watford and GPII should be important additions when they get in

  16. BringLaMarcusHome

    Sharpe plays with such a calm demeanor and pace. He honestly looks like he’s comfortable out there already. Kind of like Gary, his body is NBA ready too. I bet he’s a 2nd year breakout but my guess is he actually gets some decent playing time this year too. I could see the SF rotation eventually being a dog fight between Nas, Sharpe, and Hart. Although I would really like Hart to be used at the 1 and 2 spot off the bench as a 6th man.

    I would also love to see how suffocating we could be on defense with a front court of Grant, Walker, Nurk.

  17. sard0nyx

    Pepperidge Farms remembers when everyone loved BWill last year. Oh how the turntables.

  18. Jabari needs to play, we’re so small anyone with any sort of size should be getting a long look, especially a guy that’s looked as solid as walker has so far. Brown getting minutes before him is a joke too btw.

    Hopefully when Watford is back he is ahead of Eubanks

    Williams is not good, should just give both those two ways to bigs.

  19. Almond_bongbong_1995

    We shoulda trade 7 pick for Wing defender like OG tbh

  20. Winslow might have been our second best player on the court tonight
