All right, basketball is almost back. We are ranked 27 out of 30. I think we can do better than that. I will miss Mirza's 3s. Looking forward to the season. Lets stay healthy and surprise some people.

If anybody comes up with a working link to the game I would appreciate it as would others I'm sure. Probably not until after the game but I work tonight anyway.

Hopefully I'll be able to stay up to watch. Want to see the boys playing and how the 2nd unit looks with Knight.

Knight is going to JACK shots this season when he's in with the other reserves. Kobe-level chucking. The good thing is that most of our other reserves can't create offense. Sucks for Alex, though. I don't think he and BK have any chemistry.
Precious Achiuwa, Dalano Banton, Batum, Chris Boucher, Amir Coffey, Tre Jones, Laravia, Mamukelashvili, Tre Mann, De'Anthony Melton, Minott, Nance, Chris Paul, GP2, T. Prince, Reed, Jeremiah Robinson-Earl, Tate, Watford, Yabusele

Unfortunately I do think that's the case. It could be a passive-aggressive "I'll show them who's a bench player" type of deal. And if he's playing with Ulis, he'll rightfully have that score first mentality. If he's efficient and taking shots within the offense, even if he's missing, I'm fine with it. But if he's gonna go all Kobe on us, well then...

If the lineup is something like Ulis-Knight-Bender-Chriss-Len, I'd expect Knight to be the first scoring option. But he's not going to carry the scoring load Kobe style, so everybody's going to have to be involved.

Wow, Knight's the old man in that lineup.

OK, so Warren-Chriss-Len start up front?

What is smallball? I play basketball. I'm not a regular big man. I can switch from the center to the guards. The game is evolving. I'd be dominAyton if the WNBA would let me in. - Ayton

No buffering for me. Quality is SD but consistent.

How do they get away with using the same sound bytes from the last 2 seasons? Ugh. So unoriginal. (Evereeeeee bodeeeeee clap yo hands)

Len just looks like he is trying too hard. He still moves on those picks and when he is beat he just needs to let the guy have the bucket and not just foul.

Chriss looks amazing out there. Comfortable dribbling at the top of the key. Posting up and finding the open man for the three. Just plain impressive.

Chriss needs to do a better job keeping tabs on his man when he switches or helps. Those are things he'll learn with experience.

I REALLY want to see Knight succeed off the bench. He's really not a bad guy, he's still young and he has an opportunity to really produce in his role.

Impressed with Knight. Got his and made a nice exit dish on a fancy behind the back drive to the basket.

The turnovers. I swear it is the same shit we have seen the last few years. Where it is like they don't even teach them to look for the back cut. We run the same shit and we force the same passes without ever making the other team pay for over playing it. We just keep forcing those passes and giving them free steals.

I swear at times it looks like a high school freshman offense. Where they are just trying to get the basic movement down first. Only problem is we have been doing this for years now.
