    I'm starting to like the EG (to Suns), Duncan Robinson (to Rockets), Crowder (to Heat)
    rumor......and Eric Gordon and Crowder resting tonight.

    Lol nobody wants Duncan Robinson are you serious?

    He's not even in the Heats playoff rotation, he makes a ton of $$$, and he'd have to compete with Eason and and Martin and Tate for minutes. Just no.

    Porter, Green, Gordon, Eason, Smith should be the starting 5.
    Washington, Christopher, Tate, Martin, Sengun should be the bench 5.

    When he changed agency's I think that signifies he wants a trade.

    This was a bit of a reality check for this team, when faced against a well coached team a lot of flaws start to get exposed. However, some major positives:

    1. KPJ's best pre-season game by far, looked particularly good on the pick and roll.
    2. Another good game from Green, and continues to look like he can be a franchise cornerstone. 25/5/4 game on TS 60% is the type of nightly production you hope to get out of him by the end of his rookie contract, and he did it in 28 minutes.
    3. I thought Garuba looked really good in his limited minutes.
    4. Tari Eason just looks good in general.

    people really down on sengun and are forgetting Jabari is who makes sengun viable in the starting lineup. no one on the team is going to cover for sengun deficiencies like Bari. Bari unlocks sengun.

    Serious

    We have defensive wings in Tate and Kenyon......but Robinson gives us spacing.

    Kenyon did good to shoot 3 of 6 for 50%......but Duncan quick release forces teams
    to stay close. Green, KPj, Sengun would be killing it with Jabari and Duncan out there
    at times. His contract would be lessened by the contracts coming out because of
    the TV streaming deal. Not like 50 year old EG at 6'3" is going to do us any good.

    Jalen, Jabari, and Tari are part of the long term future of the team. At some point over the next 2 years we will male a big trade for a more established star. I don't see KPJ or Sengun being part of the long term plan.

    Ok their end of the bench guys are better than our end of the bench guys.

    Without Jabari or Tate our D goes to crap.

    TyTy did not take advantage of Nix sore back, and Gary Bird has turned into Gary turd, probably feeling the pressure of his playing time leaving.

    My lineup after tonight is 9 for the regular season.

    KPJ
    Green
    KMJ
    Jabari
    Sengun

    Backups.

    Bruno
    Eason
    Tate
    EGO

    And Jgup getting occasional minutes...

    Jabari fits in with anybody.

    Sengun's not good enough to have to be protected like that yet.

    IMO his best use is still against backups when the starting guards are resting

    Backcourt was great, KMJ has had a great preseason, Tari was great though with a turrible +/-, Sengun looked unplayable and when they did give him the ball three possessions in a row he missed bunnies and turned it over. He’ll do better.

    We keeping Mathews around to stealth tank or what? He, TyTy, and Jaygup going to lose a lot of leads when the starters sit for us.

    Kpj good.
    Green good.
    Eason good.
    Martin good

    Sengun bad.
    Christopher mostly bad though he hit some shots at the end.
    Matthews bad

    Boban did lots of Boban.

    That's it
