Undefeated!

Yeah they're doing great!

Sounds like a finals game in October! They are legit

 

[Driew]

LaMarcus with a grown man post game.

LA beasted in the post later in his time here (mainly that Houston series).

 

[riverman]

We will no longer have to burn out our starters in a long season...impressive depth..best bench ever

 

[santeesioux]

My Vue is coming in perfectly while the Charter channel on my cable box is all pixelated, Charter cable is shit.

 

[BlazerCaravan]

LA beasted in the post later in his time here (mainly that Houston series).

But he never looked smooth or comfortable with the ball. Noah looks comfortable.

 

[riverman]

That just says it all....genuine joy on those faces!

That make the game sound exciting!

14 and 14. What a phenomenal game by Noah tonight!

And this is his first game back from injury?!?

 

[Boob-No-More]

Even if Vonleh doesn't score like that in the regular season, he'll get minutes for his rebounding and defense alone.

[riverman]

Wish I could have been at the game...great to hear B Grant with Wheels

 

[Nhawz]

WE HAVE GOT ACTION! SQUAD

 

[ripcityboy]

We win a few games with this kind of depth and they won't consider us "Plucky" any more.

 

[illmatic99]

Happy for Noah

But Damn. That Chriss kid can ball

 

[Boob-No-More]

The contrast between Vonleh and Chriss was fun to watch. Chriss is all about athleticism. Vonleh is all about strength.

Feels like the 1998-99 team.

 

[Jade Falcon]

Good win tonight! I like our bench!

Good night folks.

 

[Trackjack]

ET, Napier, Von had real strong games. The end of the bench came through in big way. Now the stuff not so good not enough assit and to many points in the paint. But overall it is a win!

 

[Driew]

But he never looked smooth or comfortable with the ball. Noah looks comfortable.

Yeah I'll give you that--more old school.

 

[illmatic99]

Also. CJ had been really off. I've literally never seen him miss a wide open 15 foot jump shot in transition like he has a few times this preaeason. Booker cooked him

Speaking of old school, I hope grows out the fro!

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

Booker is 6'8" (w/shoes) now - a full 2" spurt. He was only 18 at the time of the draft.

I see a lot of Klay in his game.

Booker got in his head. Not good, IMO

 

[Nhawz]

Booker got in his head. Not good, IMO

CJ will be fine

 

[Wizard Mentor]

Booker got in his head. Not good, IMO

Booker +/-: -3
CJ +/-: -1

Booker played great, CJ played OK.

 

[ripcityboy]

Turner looks good.
Napier looks good.
Layman made contributions.

(Olshey already getting ready to have the media kiss "it.")

 

[riverman]

CJ will be fine

with the guards we have now, CJ can have a bad night and it's no problem
