    According to Olshey, this is the deepest roster he's put together to date.

    Not sure that's something he'll want to put on his resume.

    The guys that are competing for a roster spot are not doing a good job competing for that roster spot.

    I disagree. Defensive effort and scheme. Doesn't look improved at all.

    No. Warriors wide open for threes.

    Same issues, different coach... maybe it wasn't Stotts and it's not Billups either...

    They're giving up more, open 3's, in a different scheme than they did last year.

    However, it's probably best we try something new to shed some light to those who felt it was the scheme that was the big issue. Scary to think what the defense would be like tonight if we put in Melo and Kanter.

    Why is everyone coaching up Blevins; to prepare him for his career in Lithuania?

    Not a lot to take away from the first exhibition game of the preseason. The team is still learning the new systems, which is to be expected. If Dame and CJ are playing they'll shoot us into the game regardless. It looks like Nurk is going to spread the court this season with the three ball. Other than that just a sloppy game where the only new thing I saw from anyone on the team was Ant showing some ability to initiate offense as an actual backup PG. I also thought that Dennis Smith Jr. and Cody Zeller looked like legit backups at their positions.

    After 1 preseason game, nothing has moved me off my stance that this will be a team that finishes between 3rd-8th (depending on injury luck) and given the matchup will be a 1st-2nd round team. Hopefully that's enough to keep Dame around.

    And the players have said that defense has been a major focus.... so you'd think you'd see SOME improvement, no?

    Good News: Zeller better than Kanter but looks like injury prone. Smith looks great as another back up PG. Nance defense better than Carmelo.

    Nothing has moved my stance that the sky is blue (during the day).
