Yang Hansen with the pass fake the whole defense buys on and knocks down the 3.

Danny Marang @dannymarang.bsky.social · 16h

A lot of Yang Hansen jerseys in the stands already - including some CBA versions.

Kuminga just got ejected from a preseason game for clapping in the refs face.

Truly special. 10/10 - no notes.

Hansen with a couple of really nice plays - first attacking Horford on the closeout and hitting the euro finish. Then in the DHO game with Avdija, Hansen rolls to the rim and sets the Gortat screen on Horford, sealing the lane for Deni to get to the rim.

Heady, under control plays.

Much better energy/intent level from Sharpe here tonight. Even when he's made a mistake, it's been with aggression and that's actually led to some positive outcomes via scramble and rotations defensively.

Danny Marang @dannymarang.bsky.social · 17h

Watching Jrue guard Kuminga, then Horford, then Heild, then back to Kuminga and back to Horford in the same possession is pure basketball bliss.

Danny Marang @dannymarang.bsky.social · 17h

We're getting more of the Deni at the 5 lineup again tonight - Jrue/Shae/Kris/JG/Deni - pace on both ends has noticeably increased. Feels like Billups is going to go this lineup mid-games as a default.. even with Tou out tonight - Billups has gone to a version of this so far in each game.

Danny Marang @dannymarang.bsky.social · 17h

Some rough moments for Deni with the ball tonight - rhythm isn't there. Honestly feels like all of the primary ball handlers will have some nights like this early in the season as they get used to how they want to play in this new offense.

Danny Marang @dannymarang.bsky.social · 17h

Really solid mins out of Clingan here early - as I type this, he catches another lob at the rim. He's killing GSW on the o-boards, cleaning up inside and knocked down a 3. Nice to see him get a solid performance under his belt.

Danny Marang @dannymarang.bsky.social · 17h

Gary Payton II scores on a runout and a smattering of boos come down as a timeout is called.

Danny Marang @dannymarang.bsky.social · 17h

Hansen got down court quick in transition - sealed Podz under the rim and demanded the ball on the block, got it and scored over him.

Shae & Hansen seem to be building a really solid chemistry in the 2-man game. Each time I see them on the floor together, the understanding/angles that Hansen takes & uses to screen or release on the roll/DHO keeps on improving.

Danny Marang @dannymarang.bsky.social · 18h

Pretty confident pull from 3 outta Clingan. Gooing to need to see a lot more from him there - but, let it fly for now.

Danny Marang @dannymarang.bsky.social · 18h

Al Horford looks...so weird in a Warriors jersey.

“The plan is to play guys a little bit more tonight and then maybe a bit more Thursday (against Utah).” - Billups on ramping up players to the season

Jrue/Shae/Deni/JG/DC are starting

Toumani Camara is OUT tonight -

“He’s day to day at this point. I think it is. I hope it is.” - Billups on Camara

Finally got it! Hansen finds Sharpe on the back cut for the dunk with the bounce pass.

Inch perfect.

Donovan Clingan and Drew Eubanks get wrapped up together and it's red ass on red ass - Clingan gets called for the foul, smiles and starts clapping.

Danny Marang @dannymarang.bsky.social · 4d

Sharpe with 7 quick points to start the 2nd half - a lot more aggression out of him coming out of the gate.

Huh?

M, the other white meat @lotusprime.bsky.social · 4d

It was pretty clearly last touched by Kris Murray too.

Danny Marang @dannymarang.bsky.social · 4d

Preseason possession challenge in the 1st quarter... we are so back!

Danny Marang @dannymarang.bsky.social · 4d

There were 31... THIRTY ONE... combined free throws in the 1st quarter.

Mercifully, that quarter is now over.

Danny Marang @dannymarang.bsky.social · 4d

Blazers going with no bigs here - I think it's just end of quarter short clock defense though... and they force the turnover with it.

Danny Marang @dannymarang.bsky.social · 4d

Jrue, Tou, Kris and Wesley are all picking up fullcourt and fighting over every single screen in the backcourt - making it incredibly difficult for the Kings to get into anything quickly.
