I didn't realize I was supposed to be hating on the Cavs tonight too! Just like in general, fuck Cleveland. Go set your river on fire again. Rays up!

Thomas Bryant and Hezonja prime Duncan and Ginobili vs our 3rd stringers.

Yes this is preseason but both teams are playing starters and want to win. This is super encouraging and I couldnāt be happier.

Itās 180 from last game imo. In Cleveland they cared in Orlando we care. Are starters look great. Dare I say better than theirs.

jase had pretty good giant killer layup package in college, they weren't falling as much last season but i think his touch will come back when he gets comfortable.

u/tcos17 3d ago
Donāt want to get too carried away by the preseasonā¦BUTā¦the team is very clearly playing with a different energy. Even if itās just a new coach bump, the guys seem to be more bought into ball movement and pushing the pace. Loving this so far. Point Franz, Paolo rolling in the PnR, finding looks for Bane and TDS, all really great.

Theyāve been gassing Hezonja up and heās been mid as hell when not playing against the 3rd-stringers.

Yeah weāre hungry ā that steal and dunk was a soul snatching move ā-Wagner the Wolf is born šŗšŗ

NBA reffing actively sabotaging the product. No other league in the world is that a foul on Bane.
3
u/Tardypop1 Cole Anthony 3d ago
Itās a pre season game. Anything close to foul it going to get called. No ref wants to be the one on duty when Harden tears is ACL before the season even starts
4
u/shaq_zak Franz Wagner 3d ago
Yeah I guess. Every year I just get excited for basketball and then a 48 minute game drags out for 3 hours and I remember why I donāt watch as much as I used to.

u/Tardypop1 Cole Anthony 3d ago edited 3d ago
They do have to get better. You can call fouls but speed up the process.

u/MKFlame7 Jalen Suggs 3d ago
this is the first preseason game iāve really tuned into and wtf i donāt wanna get excited too early but i have never seen us with this much spacing. the iso ball isnāt being relied on nearly as much as previously either

u/Mr_Wick18 3d ago
Franz really wants to attack Mobley. I know he thinks about that Game 5 block that wouldāve given them a 3-2 lead heading back to Orlando.

u/psiANID3 Franz Wagner 3d ago
So anyone know why some teams play 3 preseason and others 4? I heard this is the last game for the Cavs
3
u/Murky-Ad7701 3d ago
The Cavaliers originally planned a training camp and exhibition trip to the Middle East (Qatar and the United Arab Emirates), which was scrapped by the league due to regional conflicts. While they shifted their training camp to Spain, the international exhibition games were not replaced with additional local games, leaving them with a lighter three-game tune-up schedule.
3
u/Murky-Ad7701 3d ago
NBA teams independently arrange their own exhibition schedules rather than playing a league-mandated fixed number of games (typically ranging from 3 to 6 games per team).
2
u/psiANID3 Franz Wagner 3d ago
Awesome. Appreciate the info. Thatās kinda interesting to know that teams can choose.
2
u/MentalFloss45 Franz Wagner 3d ago
Currently the teams determine how many preseason games they want. The max is 6. Cleveland only wanted 3, Orlando 4.

u/ActApprehensive3271 Franz Wagner 3d ago

I know most of us donāt care, but we get no respect on R/NBA and the national media loves to shit on our team.
What have we done to anybody to deserve this??

u/escapedhousefly Jett Howard 3d ago
/r/nba hates on everyone so who cares. National media will hate whoever underachieved the previous year, which we did.

Looks like Sweeney basketball. Play great defense and create good shots on the other end. Be aggressive, but not wreckless.

u/frostysbox OnlyFranz 3d ago
The KIA center buff is crazy for a mid market team that constantly gets over looked by the league. Shout out to the Magic dedicated for feeding the team. š

u/ActApprehensive3271 Franz Wagner 3d ago
Jase with confidence and the green light looks really good, will be interesting when Black gets back to see them two.

u/tmac2g17 Franz Wagner 3d ago
So can we just designate a player to headbutt every made basket back through the hoop before clearing the net then they wonāt be able to score? Iām not sure about that interpretation of basket interference.

Paolo 15 points 6/9 and active on both ends of the floor ā love to see it

my way too early take is that cleveland is gonna really miss Garland this year

u/MentalFloss45 Franz Wagner 3d ago
They made it to the ECF last year without him. I'd argue that Peyton Watson is a lot better fit on this team.

Banchero looks explosive. He said he took up pool conditioning in the summer and it seems to be paying off.

Weltman is actually talented at getting good value in the 2nd round and finding good 2-way players but they spent years selling the picks. Makes 0 sense

u/PeytonWatsonEnjoyer 3d ago
im obviously a cavs fan, who wanted to see magic fans reaction to the dunk, cos watching this game is pissing me off lmao. anyway, for anyone who doesnāt get it, the reason it was waved off is because the ball needs to clear the net to count. it cleared the rim, but didnāt come out the other end of the net, which then led to the ball hitting Penda while heās hanging on the rim, so that second one that does clear, would be an offensive interference. anyway hope this clears it up a bit. itās an annoying play and call, but at least you donāt need to watch cavs basketball 82 times this year
1
u/Unlucky_Rip_8886 Paolo Banchero 3d ago
the audacity to say at least we donāt watch cavs basketball 82 times when just last season I had to watch the magic miss like 40 field goals letting the pistons come back down 3-1ā¦ YāALL MADE THE CONFERENCE FINALS š
2
u/PeytonWatsonEnjoyer 3d ago
tbf you over performed in that series š pistons realistically shouldāve finished that in 5-6. cavs are constantly underperforming

u/escapedhousefly Jett Howard 3d ago
I get thatās the rule, but still dumb af imo and Iām not saying it because it was called against the Magic.

Damn Suggs and Bane floating around 40% with the frontcourt being just 34-36 does wonders for this team

Yo first preseason game Ive watched. Our offense actually looks really good?

Should have been here last game where people were already calling for Paolo and Sweenys head when our third string was getting creamed by Cavs 1st string

Nice spurt here, ball is moving and shots are in rhythm instead of holding the ball till 5 seconds and launching a grenade

u/Beautiful-Top-940 3d ago
They wanted to make a statement tonight, great energy and ball movement. Love seeing tds confident in his shot. He is really valuable for this team when he shoots like that.

u/RoniSuave Jalen Suggs 3d ago
Looking good like the team effort. it's always good to see when another teams superstar takes over and instead of one of our stars trying to respond we have responded with more team ball that's the difference in Championship teams tbh trust your teammates and make the right plays!

u/mightymouthcrv Paolo Banchero 3d ago
Stretches like this demonstrate how dangerous we can be if we continue to play with pace and make quick, confident decisions on offense.

u/leviteer 3d ago
Who is the shooting guard on the court right now!?
Suggs
Franz
Tristan
Penda
Carter Jr
I love Sweeney already with a new idea- giant lineup that Penda can accommodate now that heās slimmer

Sweeny saw that da Silva is one of a few guys who have a good natural shooting motion on the roster and told him if he doesn't shoot every time he touches the ball while open he is getting cut
