End of first half.  Team definitely likes to run. A lot of production out of the backcourt so far. Rozier with 18, Ball 11, Graham with 10.

What Im looking for in the second half:

Sustained push for 4 quarters. Better free throw shooting. Closing out a game. Ball more with the ones.

Great to see Ball’s shooting tonight. Fantastic passing through three games, great rebounding in game 1, now great shooting in game 3. Looks like he has all three things (hasn’t looked lost on defense either). Exceeding expectations early on.

Ball is way ahead of where I thought he would be atp.  Damn he is gonna be good.

I might have been the biggest advocate for not bringing him here before the draft.. I thought he played "highlight-reel" bball overseas, was inefficient and didn't care to work on defense..

now it's only been 3 preseason games, so I'm not crowning him the next Luca or anything.. but I will say that I am def liking what I am seeing.. I have taken off my hate filled lenses for him and observed him with no bias.. I imagine by midseason the new car smell and shine will have worn off and we might be irritated with his defensive ability or his +/- PER.. like yeah - he makes amazing, fun plays but we need to translate those into Wins..

all in all - I am happy to be wrong..

He has a very good feel for the game.  Another playmaker on the team is nice to have. Hayward and Ball playmaking this year will be fun.  Ball had the highest usage Monday and last night.  7 assists and 6 turnovers over those 2. That needs to be better.  But pleasantly surprised at him and the team as a whole.

      I find it more like now that I have been forced to watch Young so much it isn’t as much of a shock to my senses.   Desensitized they call it.   For real, it just looks normal almost now. Where the first game of 2023 I wasn’t sure what I was looking at it was so out of bounds for NFL type play. I literally couldn’t make sense of what I had seen vs Atlanta that first week.

      Dan Morgan is an awful GM

      Lynch in SF. Great is subjective but he has done pretty well there.

      CJ Stroud

      Sure, except Stroud has the ability to stretch the field with deep passes. He did that often last night with ease, but couldn’t connect on many due to being flustered by the defense. BY9 gets flustered and can’t throw screens, let alone even think about any deeper passes. Stroud would’ve changed the franchise and done more with the situation last year. My thought at least.    the hope is that last year showed tepper that he needed to step back from football decisions. There’s a positive in most situations and maybe we’ll see a new tepper in the near future.
