If I didn’t know better they were running the offense through Julius and RJ and allowing Brunson to play fulltime scorer.

Again it’s just the first quarter but maybe Brunson can be a 30ppg scorer

Brunson got a big dikk, breh. He can most definitely become a 30 ppg scorer

Length.

Don't come back now, c00n.

Come're bıtch, lemme smack you...

Grimes' footwork on that stepback...impeccable.

They should just pay IQ, because I have a feeling the price will only go up if they wait until the offseason.

Jacob might be better than his brother.

Alley oop to Toppin. Breen was ready for that one.

 

[Anerdyblackguy]

This is a good sign for Jacob

Is Jacob’s agent Leon Rose’s son?

How we feeling after this preseason opener brehs? I think this is a good start but obviously we need to look to see if the good can be consistent and the bad can be fixed moving forward

You aren't even talking about the actual game..when it matters...You're talking about practice..

My cliff's notes from the game (KFTV recap article coming soon):

- Brunson and Randle look fine repeating last season's success, and Randle's shot selection was especially nice.

- RJ made the corner kickout read on drives...it's the lowest possible hurdle that he could clear in terms of improvement, but that makes it an easily attainable goal.

- Grimes' step-back three was the best footwork of the night (including Brunson's hesitation move and Randle's baseline spin which were both filthy).

- Mitch is as strong as last year, but looks more mobile. He was getting around the court (ie: the three-pointer he blocked).

- IQ seemed like he was confident he could score any time we needed.

- I think the closest we'll get to motion offense is when Josh Hart, Donte DiVincenzo, and I-Hart share the floor for the second unit. Those dudes all move the ball, move without the ball, and make unselfish decisions.

Disclaimer: It's one game against backups. All of this can be taken with a grain of salt until it turns into repeated success.
