    The players that stand out to night Dame Plum Harkless. ML was alright for limit time practicing. Things that hurt us free throw shooting, points in the paint and that the 2nd game in a row we was bad there and turn overs.

    Both their games are from the 3 point line. Crabbe 33%, Fabio 25%. I'll take the better % with the defense over the cover model

    I give again thumb up to the end of the bench for the win. Lakers went towards there starters to win and don't blame Walton to do that to teach them how to win again.

    preseason is just a part of training camp so they've got some coaching to do after this one...probably a good thing

    I'm not surprised. I like Crabbe and he's a nice player. I think It's going to be hard for him to live up to his big contract though.

    Harkless is the starting SF.

    No doubt Leonard looked horrible on defense. Like I said 2 weeks ago, there was no way he could have improved over the summer when he couldn't even play over the summer.

    But if you are going compare shooting percentages for one game you can't include the 3pt shot he was forced to take when the PG gave him the ball with 1 second left on in the shot clock when he was 25 feet from the basket. It was more a throw than a shot.
    His overall shooing looked good before he tired. He was 3-5 from inside the 3 pt line. He banked one in with ease and I remember another one handed jump hook/runner. (I don't know what to call it but he shot last year as well)

    Yep Harkless looked good. He needs to start.

    I also liked Aminu's game tonight as well. Only two three point attempts. Did not force it on offense.
    What I liked was seeing him run the floor and finish twice on the break.

    Plumlee's free throw attempts look very smooth. (relatively speaking) He looks very confident at the line.

    Apparently not Terry's strength as a coach. Every year it sucks. (other than the Dame game winner against Houston)
