    Harden literally played his first meaningful minutes this preseason with no training camp and still looked like the best player on the floor before he got winded. He will get better with more practices sessions and game time.

    Green is not even getting playing time, that’s a huge sign.

    Cousins and Wood are the third and fourth creators.

    This will be shown.

    Gordon is done. He’ll be naturally phased out as guys outplay him.

    The team looks okay. That's about it. If you really wanted this team to look good, than we should have been dominating but the fact is guys, the score was relatively close against a mediocre Spurts team. That's not good enough.

    We'll see what happens when Woods comes back. But dont expect that anything has changed with Harden.

    Still a Nwaba and Tate fan, them along with Cousins, Mac and Gordon our bench might be significantly improved.

    Hope Clemons is okay, hate to see guys get hurt.

    Also if Bruno can consistently play aggressive on both ends good things can happen.

    Keep having high quality practices and training camp, if this team can gel early our ceiling is high.

    Absolutely agree. I don't think his play tonight is in any way indicative of how he will play throughout the season for us or on another time. Just a small recap of his performance tonight.

    No way they cut Gerald Green. Besides the sentimental attachment he’s played great when given minutes. Grant is outta here.

    Gordon looked better than House, its when they waste possessions letting him try to create that we get screwed over. I woulndt expect Gordon to be phased out, Silas seems to like him a lot.

    why would clemons being injured mean we cant cut him ? because it looks bad ?

    Cant he still get $ and we get to use the roster spot ( injury exception something like that ) . Does hard cap overrule an season ending injury exception , that seems kinda bs

    I just dont think we looked dominant. It is only pre season, but Im not liking what I saw. Our 2017-2018 team, I saw a lot of stuff I liked in the pre season.

    I am not saying House played bad. As you said he had a nice overall game. He is trying to find his place with all of the freedom he has been given in the offense, and I see him making a big leap this year. All I can do with EG is find anything positive about his play, which is hard, but maybe he will play more consistently this year, and not consistently horrendous.
