At the open practice

Northwest entrance only. No idea how long it goes.

Lee aliya and Myles herro don’t seem to be participating. Nice to see Nash’s ability!

Wild to see Buford and sully on the floor.

They’re using Vuk and Nash and Alex Smith more than Pippen and LJ smith, and Lee/myles are staying on the bench. I wonder why pippen and LJ aren’t getting (as) many reps in.

I really like Givvens, Thompson, Bynum, and Mobley. I’m not seeing anything from Ivan/andreja/vuk/josh that has me optimistic about our big men this year.

Diebler’s yelling about them being soft, needing to be more physical, play harder a lot.

Scrimmage now:

Mobley, Thompson, Ivan, givens, bynum are scarlet (starting line up in Cincinnati) v vuk, Williams, Nash, Alex smith and Josh or andreja.

Pippen sprained his ankle at the end of the exhibition game so thats why he is sitting out.

Oh right! I remember he went out, but didn’t know the outcome. Dang. I guess LJ must’ve gotten a little banged up too. Either way, no boots or crutches on anyone today, which is ahead of where we were last year

Pippen and LJ were both banged up so they weren’t able to participate on Saturday. LJ I think was fine this week now and is a full participant. Pippen they still may be just taking it slow but he should be ready to go by the beginning of the season.

Pippen and LJ smith haven’t run a drill in over an hour, but they’re huddling up with the team. Lee and Myles stay on the bench in the other end of the court.
