    No other player should be able to dribble the ball than Harden, Paul and Gordon

    the rest can just spot up shoot

    Harden settling against Joffrey...I knew he was taking an off the dribble three the entire time

    2nd time against Joffrey he gets to the rim, that should be easy money

    Tucker is the x-factor

    he is better guarding taller players(like he did against Aldridge) because he isn't quick

    I dont like what I see from the pre season games so far.
    We actually look thiner while we should be looking deep. Harden doesnt look good for some reason, pace is slower and defense is not better.
    Only bright side is that Gordon is in terrific shape to start the season.
    looks like we're heading to a rough start of the season.

    spacing looked terrible on that last possession...there's still a lot of work left to do

    Well, we don't even know if we were willing to trade a 1st...and the 2nd they got by OKC is the Bulls 2nd which is going to be 31-35 so...

    Tarik Black looks like trash. We need more length against the Spurs. Let’s see what Zhou can do.

    I'm policing the doubters in my section and making sure they're loud. :)

    We don't have any good cutters on this team. We had Dekker last year who can cut to the rim and dunk it every time; same with Montrezl. We also don't have any playmakers other than Harden if CP3 is hurt. Bev last year and Lou can both playmake. EG was the worst out of the 3 guards we had last year at playmaking.

    We're going to get wrecked by other contenders this year if CP3 is injured during those games.

    Also, without Lou, we don't have any guys who can create for themselves consistently.

    We have a lot of the same at the combo F spot, and essentially 2 lead guards that alternate. So essentially it's the same or overlapping. What'd you expect different?

    We're overall more talented and deeper, just less volatile. And that was our thing. Eg and Lou would stir **** up.

    Our defense definitely got a bit better because of the personnel but our rebounding still sucks.
