I'm afraid this team is cooked. Monte, Gillespie, Lee, Book and Plumlee as a 5. What are we even doing? Is Bud this lost this early in the year?
Counterpoint, trying things early in the season to see what works is a good thing.

He thinks it’s still preseason?

That's not a viable, sustainable brand of winning basketball.

Dunn and Oso need 20-25mpg barring foul trouble.

I get trying different combinations, but Gillespie and Lee are “break glass in case of emergency” guys. No reason they should be on the floor at the same time during meaningful minutes.
Also, two PGs, two SGs, and Plum? I realize we’re not exactly stacked in the big man department, but really?

We played four guards and Plum because a couple of guards are out?
Just admit it. It was a crazy lineup. Fortunately not for long enough to be a real problem.

I like that we have a coach willing to try something. After Monty and Vogel is a refreshing quality.

If I didn’t check the box score I would think we were getting blown out by the comments in here haha…
I didn’t watch the 1st half, but I’m also not going to over analyze roster decisions in game 3 of the season. Also we’re up 8, so it seems to be working ok.

Nurkic always looks so goddamn dumb founded and perplexed about everything. A walking complaint.

Dunn gets fucked regularly. Doncic always smirks because he knows he pulled some shit to get a bullshit call.

I thought they were supposed to let the players play more this year. Doesn't seem like it at all. Ruins the flow.

Nurk having a good game. Even if he looks like an ass.
