    Fertita is pushing his book in the arena. Good God, he sucks.

    There's no way the Spurs shoot that well in the 2nd half. In any case, it looks like Harden is going to carry the load again this season.

    No one should be talking about the offense(if not a bit rusty), that looks fine. That defense though, looks HORRENDOUS. Why did we fire Jeff? Man I guess there was reason we didnt run traditional pick and rolls, we suck at it.

    Russ will get comfortable eventually.

    His value is in the playoffs where statistical trends tend to fall apart.

    Team played well the first 3 games...last game vs toronto we could not defend to save our lives and same is holding here. Idk what it is about Russ but he just feels obsolete on our team. Feels as if he doesn't bring much, I guess CP didn't either last season but was expecting more of an impact

    If we're going to get out-rebounded and play no defense anyway, then you might as well give Chris Clemons 25-30 minutes. At least we know Chris gets buckets. Give him some of Tucker, Capela, and Ryan Anderson's minutes.

    We were developing chemistry with Gordon in the starting lineup

    Hopefully house either feels better very quickly or MDA abandons the experiment and goes back to 3 small starters

    I know its only preseason, but we look pretty bad defensively, and not much better offensively against long teams (most of the Western Conf) . No real length on this team, and if WB doesn't hit open shots I could see things getting ugly early in the season, hope it's just an off night and adjusting to all the new faces.

    Keep in mind that it is just pre season, remember how good we looked last year in the preseason and how bad we got off to start.

    he didn't bring anything last year. Austin Rivers was as good as him during the regular season and playoffs outside of Game 6. Russ issue though is shooting, feel like he needs to be attacking constantly and Defensively seems lost
