Goes nicely in anyone's in-home Lebron shrine, alongside a "Heat Culture" yogurt, 2011-vintage.
It's really jarring to go from watching the Celtics' offensive system to watching this.
That is the Emirates NBA Cup to you. Please refrain from disrespecting Adam Silver’s free cash creation.
I think Randle only played in one preseason game, and the chemistry with him offensively is going to take a while.
First game on the road with new key pieces to rotation facing a team that returns entire team intact. It’s why I didn’t play the Wolves here…..and the exact reason I did play the Celtics.
Not only just the one preseason game, he hasn't played a real game since January. He's got some skills that Towns doesn't (perimeter defense, playmaking, overall toughness) but it is definitely going to take awhile for him to fit in here.
Got some cardio in, missed a couple shots, got bullied by Randle, blocked by Gobert, and hade a nice defensive possession on Ant. Just 3 minutes, is he done for the night? Will he appear in more games between now and the G-league opener in a couple weeks?
He is unbelievably quick and bouncy, but that paint is looking awfully crowded once he gets by his man. If he's not hitting mid-range shots at a high rate, he's gonna have some tough times with Minnesota's spacing.
Moreover, he can talk high level trash to Juancho Hernangomez in a limited on-screen role.
Exactly. The one noticeable issue I could see is having two players who can stop the ball in the halfcourt and need the ball to be effective.
We should have a pool on when the first article with anonymous quotes expressing their displeasure will hit the tubes.
I don't know, that article from a few weeks ago wasn't super pro laker:
DNP-CD unless Redick is emptying his bench in a blowout is what I'd expect. That was a nice stop on Ant though.
There isn't a world where Bronny is getting any playing time based on what he's shown in SL and preseason so we don't have to worry about that. That isn't Redick's style.
It ain't up to Redick, though. The fact Bronny played last night makes this crystal clear.
Nah, everything he's been handed thus far was leading up to last night. He was drafted, given a guaranteed contract and force-fed minutes in SL and preseason solely for the purpose of getting him ready to play next to his Dad. That's now happened, and I'd be truly shocked if he plays in another game this season (in the NBA) in which the outcome is in doubt.
That was last night for the one game. Everyone knew that was coming. From here on out it is 100% Redick's call. There is a reason why we only saw Bronny for 3 minutes last night. That's it, that's all. When does G-League practice begin?
Perhaps. I think Redick signed up to be a pawn; you have a higher view of his level of decision making. We'll see---not just on Bronnie, but generally. And I like Redick, but I think he knows what he signed up for
I disagree. Redick is cut from the same cloth as Mazzulla. As much as the media and fans want to say he's here to answer to LeBron I could not disagree more. That isn't his style at all.
