    KPJ is frustrated, Jalen Green is playing like JR Smith, a chucker.

    Our on floor vets are Wood and House keeping them in check, lmao.

    Miami is a good test for this young team. They don't take plays off and play really tough defense with Lowry, Bam and Butler.

    Our guys are getting bounced around

    Yeah I see the same thing.

    Rockets aren't playing well but people are not giving the Heat's defense credit. They've shut down the paint completely and are forcing the Rockets to take bad shots outside. It's still on offensive players to break down a defense of course but clearly there is no offensive plan for pre-season...

    Team full of non-shooters chucking away. Some things never change.

    I'm rooting for kpj, but everytime he gets stripped or misses a layup hes pouting to the officials while his teammates are playing 4 vs 5 on the other end. It was like this last year, and it hasn't changed, it's getting tiring.

    Pretty sure you don't get less strong as you get older. Less fast, yeah, but I would think a player would get stronger as they get slower

    Rough game for us. Heat way too thicc for us. We might have gone for most thicc team to most skinny.
    Get House out of here. Nice to see Green hitting some 3s. Alpy and Dante playing pretty well too.

    Next JR Smith confirmed. It only took 2 preseason games.

    Silas is the perfect coach if you want a guy who has no clue what he is doing and more than qualified to lose games…

    He and his staff are the perfect tank coaches…

    They've doubled our rebounds 30 to 17. Vet strength and rebounding, if we can at least get defensive rebounds it would be closer

    Honestly Im shocked so many people thought we would be great right away. Yeah we had a great draft but it will take a couple of years we are rebuilding. I could see us making the play in or being a bottom 4 team it will be that type of year. Fun to watch sometimes but we are gonna go through a lot of growing pains.

    Our second best player in franchise history was notorious for this also.

    Wood has no presence on the boards or in the paint defensively…just gets his 20 points in a 20 point L
