Thanks for the highlights!

 

Harrell has the potential to learn some moves from The Dream.

Those fake moves from Harrell are really fun to watch.

 

Thx for the highlight

 

So Thornton looked like he could play some pg out there boys?

 

i3artow, thanks for highlights. Rep'ed.

 

That "AND ONE" at 27 secs in the Montrezl video was loud as ****

 

Harrell is going to be our counter Draymond Greene. Give him some decent minutes this season

 

Harrell is great but he struggled mightily against Anderson. With the way the league is going, he's going to need to figure out how to play defense against all kinds of 4s. It's going to be a while before he becomes a quality rotation player IMO.

 

I can't wait until the season to start. This is going to be one helluva year.

 

You should watch the game. He blocked shots, hustled after loose balls, drew a charge, ran the court well, played with energy and showed some offensive post moves that were encouraging.

 

They look good but looks like too much isoball
Hopefully McHale draws up some plays so we are we are less predictable....

 

anyone have marcus thornton highlights?

 

Thornton 16 pts off the bench and no highlights? :grin:

 

and he got 1 rebound.

i watched, the rest of his game was good.

 

Lawson and Harden... So good.

Smith or Harrell?

 

Well I have my answer Montrezl is the real deal. all of our months of agonizing over whether we could sign him paid off.

 

Sadly 1 rebound wouldn't knock him out of the rotation given how T-Jones has lots of games where he only pulls down that many boards. Harrell's looking good so far. That 2nd unit's gonna be great with Capela, Harrell, Thornton, and Brewer with Lawson handling the ball(he'll still start, but he'll likely see plenty of time with the backups when Harden sits).

 

so i guess his one rebound was the put back for 2 points?

he looks very impressive.

 

That was a helluva game. Some thoughts:
- For the millionth time, does anybody look more ready than Ariza? He's less hesitant on his drives, finishes twos like it's nothing and is just all around looking sharp.
- Lawson finally had an all-around superb game, he's a very decent defender.
- Harden looked good, especially doing his cooking on the sideline for Thorton!
- Thorton is my #1 guy off the bench to initiate our offense when Harden & Ty are out. He can be my PG and SG. Gives Beverley more energy on defense, instead of chicken run on offense. Great signing. Love how Morey got this guy like he did Delfino, just a veteran you hope pans out.
- Terry looked very sharp. McHale needs to find him some minutes just to get some catch and shoot threes. Just no more PG duties!
- Harrell also finally with an all-round solid game, very nice.
- Capela looked great again, he's so quick when he jumps and has the attitude of Mutombo when he blocks. Loving it!!!
- Dekker is D-League bound
- KJ had a nice play here and there, but not too impressed.
- Joshua will be in foul trouble a lot, just because he's so big, so I doubt he plays much. I rather throw Harrell and Ariza / Brew at the 4 and go small ball when Dwight is out.
