    And it got demolished when the Bucks basically went switch heavy and dared the Suns to beat them 1v1. Honestly, this was one of the weakest Finals as both teams were seriously flawed and only got in due to injuries. That being said they dared Chris paul to beat PJ tucker on switches and they couldn't do it.

    I do think the Lakers the first 3 games were running a whole bunch of sets but my feeling is the last game is they tried to see if letting Russ go a little bit would help him and it didn't work.

    Have we won a game yet? This feels like that Mike Brown season where we had high hopes going into preseason, only to get wiped out 0-8.

    Alas, I must not judge until our big three are all on the court together.

    We haven’t won yet. I think we will win 1 of the last 2.

    It's preseason, they seem all minor injuries.

    K9 and Jordan in the lineup
    Rondo, Monk, Reaves, Melo and Howard on the bench.

    Starters should increase their minutes as the first game is in exactly a week from now. 4th quarter nobody plays

    This is the wrong thread for optimism. =)

    Also, Monk is out.

    i guess it's best to get the injuries out of the way early?

    Well nothinng to go but up: this team looks more like one that would be lucky to contend for a playoff spot vs a title contender.

    Luckily pre-season doesn't count for anything and hopefully full speed Lebron and AD can carry the team till Westbrick turns into Westbrook hopefully

    I did not like the Westbrook trade and so far he has managed to be worse than I could've ever imagined. Lol Dung v2. Straight trash.

    My goodness he's awful. Turnovers, low bball IQ, his athleticism is gone, but it has been declining for a few years.

    I wish we had a do over.

    80 million the next 2 years. [Insert expletive here].

    considering the disruption by Kyrie in Brooklyn and Clips being a non-factor this season, we would have walked the league if we had gotten Buddy Hield or some other elite shooter.

    may still happen, but not looking good at all atm.

    Westbrook is an apocalyptically bad fit.

    This old team had me worried, but I took solace in the fact that we have good youngsters in Nunn, Monk, and THT.

    Those 3 are hurt. One having surgery. Already. Just…. Ugh.
