    Harrel is useless other than his hustle. He can'T out rebound guards

    I would be sad if we cut him

    I'm not sure why everyone is so high on Gary Paton. He and Taylor don't seem to have any chance to b players in the NBA. If either of them make the team over Kyle, I'll be pissed.

    No way. He's not good at running the offense. He has poor vision and not good finishing at the rim. He's also a poor shooter besides free throws. But he doesn't panic I give him that.

    Really enjoying watching the kids play. Wish we would ditch D-Mo and trade Ariza, let Harden chill on minutes and learn how to play PG. Let's watch these kids grow up for a year.

    Wiltjer is a great 3 pt shooter, but the lane was WIDE open for him time after time and he just circled at the 3pt line, NBA players will shut him down he has to move off the ball and incorporate some cuts to the basket to be effective.

    He is intriguing as a shooter, but is Novak like right now.

    Heck of an effort up until the last couple of minutes in 2OT. Still, this team is showing more cohesiveness and effort than last year. Clap, clap, clap!

    It's stupid that if Harden only pass the ball, not shoot at all. It's kind of wasting his scoring talent.

    Enjoyed this game a lot. It was good seeing what we do and don't have. None of the young guys are REALLY ready for NBA minutes, but a few of them can work their way there by the end of this season I think.

    Harrell has everything an NBA player needs except a grip over when to calm down and when to pump himself up.

    Wiltjer is learning the game still. He'll be a 15th man or better, depending on how smart he is with positional defense and rebounding.

    Ennis is not going to be an NBA player unless he happens to develop a deadly 3pt shot.

    Dekker also needs a 3pt shot, he won't get all those interior opportunities against real NBA players unless they respect his shot. He's a basketball player though, he gets it. He has GREAT chemistry with Capela, and he would be a great 4 off the bench to pair with Capela or Nene.

    Brewer looked like bad Brewer, and it's been a while since we last saw good Brewer. I guess he's untradeable?

    Not sure what was up with Ryan Anderson. Not much, apparently.

    Did not see Pablo or Bobby Brown in the building. Not implying nada, just wondering about their whereabouts.

    MonstaTrezz beasting, Wiltjer's scoring, and Dekker's dunk were the highlights for me. I thought Ennis looked ok (cue the Scola gif) running point. Nene, Gordon, & (I hope) Anderson are going to be great for us. Capela has grown, didn't get thrown around.

    Little bit worried about TOs with James at the point.

    Brewer is consistently useless on the court.

    I still don't get why he gets so much PT... I would rather watch Sam Dekker.
