Probably another loss given the number of important guys who won't be playing. I just want to see the usual stuff: minutes for Dunn/Oso, scrappy defense by Dunn, some sweet ball movement by Tyus and Oso, a few nice highlights, a non-stagnant offense. A Bol Bol sighting.

I want to see a better team defense. Better coverage of pick and rolls.

Bol's gotten time and hasn't done anything. Fans love him and want him to work out because of his height and skillset but he's still just a novelty at this point. He just can't matchup anywhere on defense and his offense isn't SO good that he deserves more opportunities. And without knowing what's going on in practice day in and day out, it's disappointing Bridges hasn't gotten playing time with some of the regulars. He's the kind of long, athletic shooting wing we need on the floor. Maybe he's slow picking up some concepts or isn't cutting it defensively but we need some depth there at the SF spot.

For a "shooting" wing, so far Bridges has shown that he can't shoot.

Gross. No point watching this one. Won't learn much.

I’m watching and really liking it. Fun start so far.

Just turned it on and why do people keep being surprised that Saric is good? That's weird

Dunn is looking like a steal so far. Jay Bilas is rough to listen to.

Dunn is 3 for 5 on 3s? If he’s already a shooter, we are in business

I don't think he'll play much because we now have 3 PGs all of a sudden but I like Gillespie's smarts.

We need to stop getting excited about how good our 5th, 6th and 7th best wings are. It doesn’t matter.

Like him too. Feels like an investment for next season. He’ll take the pg minutes when Tyus and possibly Monte leave.

Dunn's an important piece and this is a good chance for him to get more reps as an offensive threat. Had a strong take to the basket against Jokic too.
GIllespie looks like he's overdribbling a bit, but the talent on the floor around him isn't helping much. Just not a lot to take away from with this game.

Dunn looks promising, I'll give him that, his confidence in his shot seems good, if he keeps it up during the season I'll get excited about him.
