A 1am tip off… time to get back into routine and lose sleep for 6 months.

I’m all in

CJ-BI-Herb-Zion-Jonas are going to start. Maybe with Jose and Trey out we might see him get a little run with Zion and Ingram, but I’d be surprised if Dyson and Kira didn’t get those minutes with the starters before Hawk.

From Willie's interviews, they've been playing a combination of Kira, Dyson, and Hawkins together in practice. I wouldn't be surprised if they rolled this combo out just for the spacing.

Here .... We .... Go

Aside from Boreggo's off-ball action (likely real-vanilla tonight), I'm really interested in Dyson and Herb's offseason growth, particularly ball-handling and rebounding.

The continuity of the offense when Zion and BI are not on the court was an area of emphasis for Coach Green and the Pels. Who are your secondary ball distributors?

Additionally, everybody playing a position up in small ball sets, can Dyson and Herb battle in the trenches and stave off getting killed on the boards?

Herb and Dyson's development will be near as important as BI and Zion's availability, a leap with Dyson and Herb with TM3 getting back around the break puts the Pels solidly in the top 4 in the WC.

.....BI, Herb, Dyson, TM3, Zion is the death squad we all want to see.

I want to see Dyson, Hawkins, and Lidell

Also want to see Kaiser Gates/ Landers Nolley. Very possible 1 of the 2 will have more opportunity with Trey out

It would be nice to see Hawkins not go 2-14 with 6 turnovers, but that’s where I’m setting my expectations for now.

I think Hawkins will be good for this team, he won’t have to worry about ball handling responsibilities as much, just a ton of catch and shoot.

I've been wanting to FLAP mfs to death since April, feels good to be back gentlemen. Interested to see new offensive sets and rotations, will they utilize Herb slashing in this offense?

That's not a bad thing tonight. We should see a good bit of small ball lineups.
