    with all that extra room around the court... MDA should be able to leverage that in some sneaky way yes? without worrying about a player falling into the stands/fans?

    Wish Luc was out there but want to see how Bruno looks even though neither will probably see playoff minutes...

    Not that this scrimmage will be indicative of how good of a form players will actually be in a couple of weeks , but I’m very interested in these guys tonight : tyson , green , Carroll , and thabo (maybe Clemons)

    these are the vets who have a combination of skills and IQ that can really help us out . The question is all about how good they can move (and shoot) . It’s unclear if the layoff had an effect on the dynamic of older players vs younger players . (Or will have an effect)

    But green and Carroll were recent acquisitions and intuitively I think they get better given more time to get familiar with the team. Thabo and tyson appeared to be limited by their bodies . It appeared we were saving Chandler or mainly counting on him for leadership : I do credit MDA with giving Hartenstein minutes ... also we went small frequently. Thabo just looked slower than our other wing options ( house and Mac) and isn’t strong like PJ to play the center. Could the layoff been useful to Thabo in helping him find a better form ?

    clemons is a maybe if rivers is unavailable. Shooting plays up in our system and are teams sharp enough to take advantage of his mismatch on defense ?

    Time will tell , but the layoff could have taken our depth up a notch .

    Thabo opted out of playing in the bubble. He is not on the roster. We replaced him with Luc.

    Everyone worried about losing Austin (for good reason) but Clips have lost Lou, which makes it 5 guys so far (Shamet, Zubac, Trez, Bev).
