| We have a potentially lethal bench. I feel like we just have to limit KCP's minutes/contributions. |

Yeah it’s time for him to make a decision: either go get it fixed now that he has guaranteed money, of just shave it off and move on. |
Lol, I bet that's easier said than done. Whatever is left has been on there for 20+ years and it's hard to let it go. |

He has to do more to earn minutes though. He can not justify 20 min playing how he did today.

Dwight is trying to do the right thing, but at the same time, there needs to be some urgency in his movement towards the basket on offense. This is how he will get going. Once he has a few games that he does well, I think we will see a different player after that. |
He won't get 20 minutes most nights. It's preseason so we need to see what he has left. His offense is nil but his defense and rebounding could definitely be an asset. |

Howard had 9 rebounds in 18 minutes. He missed some shots that he should have made--but he still had 9 points and was trying to set some good screens. For the backup center position, I thought he did quite well. McGee, however, when paired with AD was exceptional.

| Best part is, LBJ and AD look like they've been playing together for years. I was afraid of a long learning curve ala Heatles but so far so great. |

It is nice to have a good first preseason game.

Troy Defense surprised me. I was expecting a guy that was horrible on defense but he’s shown the ability to stay in front of his guy.

| I thought Javale McGee figured out very well how to take advantage and make the most out of the problems AD and LBJ were causing GS on the inside. He had a very good game today as well. |

AD called him the best shooter on the team. 40% shooter in 6 seasons in the NBA. |

Yea I didn't have any expectations for him or even think he'd get much playing time this year but he looks like a legit player.

Many on here discounted Daniels before actually seeing him. He is a lethal shooter, something every team needs. Our team is DEEP! |
