I’m excited for that too, should be interesting. And I’m not sure about players heckling, but if so, the Clippers would probably be the most boisterous group.

Yeah Noah is by far the player I’m most excited to watch. I will be interested to see if PG looks more aggressive now that his shoulders are feeling healthy too.

Yeah seen the background thing, should make it look better then just empty seats.
The reseeding games and playoffs I think gonna be different once everybody is in the bubble and no quarantine .
As far as Noah goes I’m just expecting him to be the Noah I saw play for Memphis .
Veteran player being in the right spots, being vocal as the last man back calling out rotations or what not, couple rebounds , maybe a block a game, some hard fouls, and an occasional put back dunk once in awhile! To expect too much would be obviously foolish given his age, recent injury, and actual touches he most likely won’t get with how deep our team already is. But yeah I agree with you, these scrimmages he should get a lot of burn and I also think doc might try out some small ball center lineups with mook and JMG at center since our heavy rotation playoff players will most likely be rested. Like others have said its most likely
Mann, Coffey , mcgruder, Noah , and Patterson should all be tested Incase a injury/covid things happen they can come in for spot minutes and help out.
Hopefully none of the guys I mentioned play a minute in the playoffs though except for maybe Noah when needed against other teams elite bigs.

Definitely curious how the games will look. I remember the Orlando Summer league just didn’t look good, but the pictures of the court I’ve seen look pretty cool. From what it looks they’ll have a black background, which I think is a good idea to kind of frame the players and make it look less like a high school gym.

Really curious how Noah looks. I don’t expect much from him, but he’s going to get every opportunity to show he’s still got something in the tank and force his way into playing time. I love Zu and feel his defense is way underrated, but I do feel like he struggles with consistency sometimes.

Crazy as it sounds, I’m most looking forward to seeing how the game looks and sounds with out fans? I imagine no other players besides Orlando and clippers will be there, but I thought I heard or read that during the seeding games/playoffs that players on teams not in the game will be able to sit in the stands and cheer?
Lol I imagine pat Bev in the stands with a Memphis throwback tony Allen jersey cheering on Memphis and heckling LeBron in round 1. D-Fense!!!!!
