I got to watch the game because Direct TV is having a free preview for NBA League Pass right now. Some observations:
--I like how Mitchell tried to let other guys get established early on. We got down early and he went off. He is a very athletic player. His athleticism reminds me of OBJs. It's just different.
--Love played very well. Hit multiple threes, grabbed a ton of rebounds, and took a couple of charges.
--Mobley is smooth. Needs to rebound better on the defensive end.
--LOL at the Lopez hook shots. Ugly. But damn, he makes them. I think he can play a role on this team.
--Cedi had a very good game. He is playing w/more confidence than I remember from previous years.
--I thought Neto did a nice job. Wasn't a liability.
--LeVert is long and made some nice plays. He's good in the open court. Needs to finish stronger on some of his drives.
--I didn't get a good feel for Allen. He made some plays, but I thought he was a better rebounder.
--Speaking of.......this team needs to rebound better on the defensive boards.
--Getting Garland back will give us two guys who can create off the dribble.
--When is Rubio supposed to be back?
--This team is very athletic and has a lot of nice role players that can work w/our two stars. Fun team to watch.
