Its halfway through the first preseason game and Temple is clearly our Bledsoe for this year. I just hope Willie is smarter than SVG and pulls him from the rotation eventually.

Starting Temple and Naji even in a preseason game is the first time questioning Green. Not a good start.

Kira needs to put on strength desperately. He looks like a kid anytime there is any physicality involved.

Are these minn starters? Or are we on equal footing playing backups vs backups?

If the Pels suck during the preseason that means a championship, right?

Ingram drawing the defense and kicking it to Murphy is exactly why Murphy should be a starting option

Temple won't even get minutes in the regular season imo...

Zion, Ingram, Graham, NAW, Jonas, Hart, Naji, Hayes, Trey, Sato/Herb will be the 9-10 man rotation

Still have to get guys run when you can in preseason though, got 4 games.

Pretty much, last 2 pre-seasons Pels have looked like best team in the NBA, but no championship. This season look like worst team in NBA in pre-season, logic only dictates championship

We still can’t shoot.


I mean a lot of our improved spacing relied upon a lot of assumptions of internal growth and guys like Devonte being "unlocked" in our system. Always possible those assumptions don't come through.

Lonzo was our best shooter and he's gone.

NAW is a career 35% shooter who simply may not improve there.

BI does not have a super quick release so his threes are more strategic and opportunistic.

Zion can't space

JV's shooting is mostly novelty.

Temple: not good

Sato: Not good

Graham: good off the catch, but takes a lot of bad pull ups.

Murphy: Not likely to see more than 15mpg early invthe season.

Naji: 35% shooter, not great

Kira: Not good

Unless a number of guys improve our spacing isn't great.

It's preseason

Yea since the games don’t matter, let’s just practice stupid shite with our shitty role players in some of the first realistic games with our new, 1st time head coach. That seems like the best idea

This looks ragged even for preseason. The lineups and rotations in this one are a bit head scratching.

Don’t want to take a lot from it. It’s preseason. But I’d like to understand the reasoning.

Don't like the indecisiveness on offense. Hopefully they figure it out because everything looks so random and discombobulated.

Man year in and year out it seems like this team struggles to find open lanes when working the pick and roll. They are absolutely smothered and it is the complete opposite when they’re on defense lol
