Hopefully we get to see a fresh legs game.

FWIW, our TS% as a team this preseason has been 51.5%. Last season it was 58.4% (14th in the league).

Interesting fact:
There were 4 teams in addition to Jazz who landed 5 or more players in the ESPN top 100 and Portland was one of those teams (Ayton 49, Grant 58, Scoot 78, Simons 85 and Williams 89).

The other 3 teams were NYK (6 players), MIL (5) and GSW (6).

Same lineup?

Same lineup?

No info yet. I would guess its gonna be a new look since Hardy said they are in evaluation mode and they had more time to practice with different lineups.

The expected deadline to decide was early next week.. so the preseason finale vs SAC could be telling.

Same lineup?

Hopefully Hendricks gets some real minutes so we can see what's going on.

Our PG situation is going to be weird.

Hopefully we get THT/Keyonte, THT/Clarkson, or THT/Ochai.

This a must win game.

Scoot about to get his welcome to the NBA moment playing THT

Would love to see the backups get more run this game.

Anyone know if Brice is practicing? I'm hoping he's progressing.

I don't have the exact article I read from, but Hardy was asked about why he's not playing and the answer was that there's a lot of guys on this team and not that he's injured. So maybe a good sign from the health standpoint but not so great in other ways.
