    I hope Reath gets the 3rd C position.

    I wouldn't mind Conditt on a 2-way, as im not impressed with any of Butler, Badji, or Mays

    I think we'll have to relish small victories this season.

    We had 17 steals, one more than Suns and only got out-rebounded by one.

    What do people think about Scoot’s athleticism? There’s a lot that’s been said about how fast he is. To me his speed and athleticism seems to be a half step slower than guys like Ja, Rose and Westbrook.

    He's a burster. Right now he's playing with pace. Trying to get his team involved. If Scoot gets a breakout ball and open hoop... watch out

    How would we know at this point? The only thing we know is that he is on a team with Shaedon and everyone was talking about how fast Scoot is... so we know he's noticeably faster than Shae and Shae is fucking fast. Chauncey has probably told him to slow things down until he gets the hang of things. We've seen him burst past every defender that's been on him but he's made some spazzy passes that make it not so memorable.

    I think I'll just trust the guys he practices with.

    Preseason gave me that feeling I get when we’re tanking.

    Hopefully that’s the last preseason game I ever watch (but I know damn well I’ll watch and probably attend a preseason game next season!).

    Somebody on here said they can’t believe tonight’s game looked like a summer league game…… bro this ENTIRE season will be a giant summer league game. Also, since you know the refs aren’t going to give us shit on the calls, can we not complain about it EVERY game. Plan on a summer league team ran out there and not to get any calls. Now look, you have nothing to complain about. #FireStotts

    I like it. Summer sounds great. Let's have fun this season and evaluate young players. This season might be most relaxing to watch since Dame came here.

    Yes! YES! YES! YES!!!!!

    We've already won one SL championship, what I am hearing you say is that we also have a chance to win the Regular Championship if we just think of it as a big SL!

    Yes! Parade time baby!!!!
