Few things looking at the highlights
1. We need a gif of the Bench reaction of Ingram's 3 at around 11 minutes... Julius
2. Luke seems like a really good player's coach... Whether he's a good coach is a different thing entirely, but the players will want to play for him.
3. 2 things DLo is going to be elite at.... Coming off the high screen, and probing down the lane, keeping his defender at his hip / behind him.... And in the post.
Want him to really press the defense.. If he puts pressure on them, everything else develops beautifully.. If he's passive, no one else on the floot is capable of getting the offense moving.
4. I'm hoping Tarik can be what we wish Jordan Hill would be. An energy guy, who cleans up the glass, and can get a handful of easy points off a P&R, and on putbacks... Why Jordan Hill could never be more than JUST an energy guy was piss poor defense, and this is where you need Tarik to be infinitely better than Jordan was. Hoping Tarik physicality and hustle bring him to a good defender, despite being undersized at the 5.
5. Julius bringing the ball up court on a break is beautiful.. Where he struggles in the half court by catching, thinking, and then making a decision because by the time he makes a decision everything is congested in the lane, he doesn't have that issue on a break because everything is allowed to develop. And his passing vision when he wants to use it is good for a 4
(not so much in the half court is really great, that's where a lot of the frustration of his play comes from... He won't get Draymond numbers in assists he's really unprecedented and plays on a team where guys never miss, but he certainly could be like Paul Milsap who was # 2 among PFs in assists last year, and has consistently been in the Top 4 among PFs every year before that)

The game was sooper fun last night. The way I was screaming and yelling you could never tell it was a preseason game.
I was literally a few rows from the players. Seeing Brandon's arm and leg length in real life is unreal. He will be the goods.
DLo looked waaay better this game. You can tell he is starting to get under control.
Got a chance to see Jeanie Buss. Not gone lie she bad af in real life.
But anyway let me drop these off for all the eyes

He's not the friendliest guy, which has hurt him post retirement.

Did he really spend some time with Zubac on Friday? I read something about practicing the hook with him.

That's what surprises me. I read about book signing events that he has in LA. He's had a few this past year. It is what it is.

It's funny because he played himself in that one Full House episode back in the day, and they had him as such a nice friendly guy when he was reffing their game
Guess he was a better actor than we realized
