    Stotts' concern with winning/losing meaningless preseason games would rank lower than most everyone here.

    Are these refs auditioning for jobs or something? Stop calling fouls.

    Yeah man, I'm not sure. He just mentions it at the 7 minute mark of that first interview and I can't find it anywhere else so lets just chalk it up to my bad memory.

    Reread my post. I didn't say that Stott's doesn't care about winning or losing. I said he wants to lose the game.

    Yeah, that's how I read it.

    My response is he doesn't care.

    Giles finished with 19/13/3/2/1...and a '3'.
    I'm almost scared to think about what he can do if he is healthy.

    if even one of CJ/Dame/Ant go down, we are screwed, aren't we?

    Y'all like Isaiah? He prolly comes with that Melo obligation to play him.

    The biggest take away is we really need a backup PG. I don’t like the turn a 2 guard into a point. It doesn’t seem right.

    Frank Mason would be perfect. Two way eligible. Won’t put team into tax.

    That was a five on five scrimmage to look at bench rotations and get a look at the end of the bench...of course nobody cared about winning this game...what they cared more about was not risking injuries to guys they don't need to look at...at this point they need to address what they aren't doing well via film....first film they have are these two training camp games so it is what it is

    Really the only stand out was Giles with double double. Trent had 17 coming off the bench. This up coming in Denver might show us more the rotation. We didn't rebound well as a team tonight. Covington only 3 and Jones 6.

    Fun fact: Zach Collins has never scored 18 points in an nba game, not in preseason, regular season, nor playoffs. Harry just did it in his first two games lol.

    I want to see him and Zach Collins battle for that rotation spot...I'm not sure Giles doesn't win that battle
