    Not at all, I'm just pointing out that there's no reason to get upset when your bench only slightly outplays an NBA team's starters.

    Wall, Cousins, and Nwaba looked good. The rest... whatever. I assume most of these guys won’t be on the team or getting PT anyway.

    The guys playing at the end of the game should never touch the floor, especially Clemons.

    DJ signed with Milwaukee. Napier could be worth a shot or even someone like Lin but it’s his fans that is a turn off. Otherwise could give him a shot to see if he has anything left

    Doubtful, did you see how bad KD looked tonight? Harden was hoping to get carried, that isn't happening in Brooklyn and Butler doesn't want to have to deal with him in Miami.

    Harden's best chance to win this season is in Houston.

    Not sure what you two are discussing.

    Just for the sake of accuracy, I'll give you the actual numbers:

    Last season Harden Iso"d 14.1 times/game.

    Lavine 2.9/game

    Booker 2.8/game.

    I'll also point out that Harden was really efficient in ISO producing 1.12 Points per possession.

    Michael Jordan, yes.

    Mason Jones, not so much.

    Some of them need time. Even if they were 1st pick in the draft, they likely would have looked like trash. I like Martin and Queen potential in, like, a year maybe. They need that RGV time.

    No it cost them $50k total. I dont think that's much of a concern.

    Clemons is not making a good case to be the 3rd PG. I hope they looking for some vet help there.
    I don’t expect much from the young guys right now. Send them down to the Vipers to develop.

    Meh, our 4th string isn't as good as the players they had out towards the end, not a big deal.

    But looking at what our actual bench will be, I saw good things from Cousins, Nwaba, Gordon, Gerald Green, Mac etc.

    Wall should just get better as the team gels and Harden, Tucker and Wood of course make everything better depth wise.

    Not sweating the preseason score, saw a lot of postive things.

    Thomas looks like a dude who could really be valuable in the future. He's not a stupid player and his shot looks good, this is just judgement from this game though.
