    I looked like the defensive rotations looked much better today, but Chriss and Hartenstien were out while Tucker and Cap were back in. It is meaningless in many regards, but that's like saying practice is meaningless. You gotta get prepped for the regular season somehow.

    Without a doubt, there must be NBA games played to get into NBA shape, but seeing as they have said over and over again that they are experimenting with rotations and giving the younger guys time to show how they fit in and even if they are worth keeping on the roster, meaningful opinions about how good or bad the team will be are pointless right now.

    There just isn't enough meaningful real game situations play going on right now to decree this team a bust(15-16 lulzville) or champions before their first real game. Anyone doing so at this point isn't worth listening to.

    While I totally agree with what you stated, unfortunately, it won't stem the tide of hyperbole.

    How good is the 2019 draft class expected to be?

    Check this OUT list. Why did they cut Gray if they are going to have all of these OUTs? Basically means de facto that CP and Harden will get plenty of minutes
