    They’re not just trying, they are hounding him everywhere.

    “Don’t be soft.” We’ve had to hear that story 80 times already time to pony up. Rage up and get kicked out, do something besides get punked.

    This is a good thing. A little preview of what will happen when the real games start.

    Looks like pressure test by the coaching staff. They’re basically blitzing Reed and either AJ nor Cam is doing anything tonight to help

    Definitely on purpose, torture testing his conditioning.

    The Cam without shooting will be out of rotation

    Cam has now shot 32/112 at 28% in his last 22 games dating back last reg season and these 3 summer league games. Reason for concern.

    Man I liked the Griffin trade, but he has looked reprehensible.

    We didn't give up much, but I'm gonna go ahead and call that one an L.

    So if he doesn't start a fight he's soft?

    Yes, since Reed is playing good he's get a taste of what's to come. Let's see how he handles the second half. As far as Cam goes, yikes

    That's a good thing, especially if people think he's replacing Jalen. He's going to have to get used to the double teams if he does, because it'll be him getting them instead lol.

    I didn't think he was worth a dime but they gave up basically nothing. I'm thinking he may not even make training camp.

    Reed ain’t gonna get triple team in regular season. Piston knew Reed was the catalyst to our offense so once that has been cut we can’t to crap. Orlando seems like only one notice that and trying to make something happen when he got more room to operate.
