He is sad about Omer, Jeremy and Chandler leaving the team and hates Morey for treating players like assets.
FIBA, I'm pretty sure he doesn't play soccer. :grin: Anyway I tuned in at the start of the third and saw some good things this game. Other than that one made 3 and the charge, Cov didn't look that good at all. I know its summer league, but Dmo looks like he is playing with some fire in his belly. I'm pretty sure he had 13 or 14 rebounds and is boxing out regularly. Johnson and Cannan had some pretty wild drives with some ugly layup attempts, but the fact they are penetrating that well is solid. Overall our young guards need to make better decisions with the ball and keep feeding the post and we might find our way into the SL finals.
Dmo has looked really good in every game I have watched. REALLY hoping he makes the next jump and is able to be a quality backup 4/5 for us this season. I hate getting too excited over watching these guys in summer league, but I just think there's at least a chance that Canaan, Johnson and Dmo completely make us forget about losing Lin and Asik.
Isaiah & Nick vs Schroder (when he was matched up with one of them) was the match up I was paying attention to. Schroder is NBA ready talent. The rest of that Atlanta squad looks D-league bound so it's hard to judge Covington's defense in that situation IMO.
I think DMO needs to get his FT% close to asik's so him, jones, and howard are not absolute liabilities at the end of games. I think Dmo has the best chance of stepping up this year though. Johnson does the little things right but forces the issue at times, and I see Cannan taking those deep threes off of picks that make me do . I know the kids got range but we need higher % shots.

DMo will bring back those 14-, 15-yr old female fans that Chandler had LOL I don't think offense will be a problem with our bench unit
covington is gonna get cut...haven't seen anything from this guy to think he will ever be an decent NBA player anytime soon.
DMO played well...still needs to control himself better out there, he's just a bit out of control sometimes. Cannan has been impressing me, he's got a nice NBA swagger about him too.
Covington just doesn't impress, does he? Probably a guy who looks good doing drills, but a real scrub as a team player.
McHale should take notes of how Finch is running the offense. Asking DMo to post up. Running Canaan and Nick together. Running a lot of screens. McHale should just get out of the way when it comes to coaching within games. I'd much rather have Finch call the shots (esp. on offense).
His physique hasn't changed much; he's too light even for an SF. He's had to defend bigger guys (like Wiggins at the start of the CLE game ... disaster). tHe's good playing the passing lanes but he's not getting many touches with Canaan and Nick and DMo dominating the ball.
And this team has been just a week together. What could Finch do with an NBA roster and a full training camp to coach? Shame.
Glad the kids pulled it out and play again Sunday. Canaan,DMo and Johnson look like they can be contributors this year. DMo deserves more minutes for sure. he clearly has paid attention to Dream, now that's smart !
