    and i know people wont wanna have much expectations for scoota in game 1..

    but i do have my eye on one particular matchup he might face

    and its a simple one..

    if scoota gets bones hyland (very weak defender) in iso i wanna see him take it at him full force.. cuz scoota should win that with easy get a layup or freethrows, or draw the help defense n get a free assist/dunk


    bones is a game time decision in the injury report though.. n honestly i feel like our guards can exploit his defensive weaknesses so i wouldnt be surprised if its a bit of a tactical benching if hes ruled out.. or we'll see..

    also expecting to see scoota looking confident in the 4th quarter, none of this deer in the headlights shit, he'll play his game..

    Any confirmation on the starting 5? Will Scoot start? I saw Shae won’t start?

    Bones hyland was a game-time-decision for the clippers but he's playing. Just Mann and Boston out for them.

    I hope that Thybulle can consistently hit threes. He seems to be okay in a catch and shoot. Not good off the bounce.

    Speaking of "off the bounce," why did we move away from saying "off the dribble?"

    Is "dribble" an obsolete term now?

    Does anyone else find it sad when the PA needs to try to beg the fans to get involved?

    I really don't understand why we didn't play our guys in preseason. We look like we have no idea how to play together.

    Nice to see that we're still running the "everyone stands around while we do a ball screen."
