Good to see Adams out there. Guys knocking the rust off, but you could tell at times that we were down two PGs ha. All tied up heading into the 4th.

How were LaRavia and Roddy?

Roddy was similar to last year. LaRavia and Ziaire were kinda meh. LaRavia didn't come in until quite late in the game.

No breakthrough

Smart is going to be our SF then, right?

Solid game last night. I wish we had more rivalry stuff between Memphis and Atlanta.

Disappointed no Bane or JJJ. But Zaire looked really good early.

Not sure if you guys watched, but yeah: that was clearly a foul at the end of the game.

Refs just wanted to go home.

ZW has been a good surprise so far

Yeah he's been great outside of that first game or so. I think he starts at SF until Ja comes back. Then Smart starts at SF but Ziaire is first off the bench to replace him in order for Smart to also cover backup PG duties.

ZW managed to rebuild his shooting mechanic which had always looked inconsistent. Now his touch is clearly right-handed - confident and smooth. Same as his body language That’s a big deal.

I can tell the same about Aldama by the way.

I agree that ZW might remain in the starting five, though I would be afraid to keep Smart on the bench to be honest. He is so alpha. Especially on defence and the kids looked great with him. I don’t know, the ownership might have already decided to trade Ja. Smokes and mirrors.
