[Driew]

Wonder why Lance was pushing Luke Walton...

 

[Hoopguru]

Which is strange because they have a head coach who once had the best winning % in the history of the game.

Wh0’s father swept the Lakers Super team in the 77 semi finals!

 

[James lamphear]

Well 7 turnovers and Simons as already thrown up 7 shots as lead guard with no assist.

 

[Labinot41]

Two assists...

 

[Driew]

The amount of deflections on defense is a plus at least lol

Not like there's a ton of talent out there besides him, Nurk and Nance.

 

[Mr. Robot]

why is nurk active for this game, id really like to know reasoning behind that decision

especially when you know hes dependant on others on offense and theres no quality here besides simons (and he plays like cj) and larry nance jr

 

[James lamphear]

We had 8 turnovers only 3 assist and gave up 12 points in the paint. Who stood out probably Nance early in the game.

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

Pretty active on defense and more organized. Seem to be creating pretty good shots, but not making them.

I'm hoping Nurk only plays the 1st quarter.

I know it's preseason but people trying earn a roster spot or rotation spot it's not impressive.

Maybe so the coaches can remind him not to bring the ball down when close to the basket and to stay on the ground on D?

 

[Mr. Robot]

I'm hoping Nurk only plays the 1st quarter.

literally zero sense to play him this game, its not like hes not in a good shape, so he needs playing time

he wont play with these guys on either end of the floor and he cant play with these guys on offense, theyre not capable

 

[B-Roy]

DSJ is so much better than the other 3 camp invites. It's gotta be not close, right?

 

[MickZagger]

Well, Dennis has found a home.

Finally a legit PG on the bench?

 

[James lamphear]

Smith 7 points 3 assist 3-3 FG and 1-1 from the 3 very decent.

 

[OneSport3]

DSJ is the backup PG we’ve been asking for!!!

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

I hope Nurk can stay this active all season.

 

[B-Roy]

I love this team but watching Blevins is making me reconsider.

 

[B-Roy]

Why is Blevins playing so many minutes. He’s not even a camp invite. We know what he brings: nothing.

 

[julius]

You know, if it means the Blazers trade Damian, I'm fine with the team waiving Blevins.

 

[Haakzilla]

DSJ is the best player on tonight's active roster

 

[James lamphear]

Simons 12 points 0-4 from the 3.

 

[1 Eye Jack]

AS and Smith JR look so smooth. AS looks so confident out there nice to see. Smith JR is stud

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Watford must be getting suicidal watching even Blevins get minutes while he's glued to the bench.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Is Blevins some kind of Make-a-Wish deal?

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Suddenly Simons is the game's leading scorer

 

[Driew]

Davion Mitchell is going to be a problem.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

This Mitchell kid could be a keeper

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Fun fact: Mitchell is older than Anfernee:
