Anyone going? I injured my foot this week and doc requires me to keep off of it and keep it elevated. Would love to see pictures and stuff from anyone attending.

It will say the livestream has ended in the video window. But click on the open practice post on the right side of the video window. Then jump to 40:30 in the video for the start of the scrimmage.

Just watched the whole game and WOW!
Luka and Kristaps are going to be a problem for the league. Kristaps is still so agile even after putting on all that weight and Luka is as crafty as ever.
I think the first 5 possessions were a pick and pop with Luka to Kristaps for a long 2. Then a turnaround jumper by Kristaps. Back to back Luka 3's and then another 3 by Kristaps.
I am so excited.

I was there with my fam. Fourth time in the AAC with my sweet wife and 1st time with my 3 yr old and 5 yr old. My son starts YMCA bball tomorrow, so good timing.
The first few minutes with Luka and KP were fun. JJB played a good amount, so that's good news re his injury. The scrimmage was sometimes sloppy, sometimes low intensity, but fun. Bobi should never cover a perimeter center like Maxi! Seth was fun to watch. THJ looked pretty good. JJax had a couple of smooth plays. KP does stuff that's just stupid for his size.

Yep they looked really good.
On top of that I loved what I saw from Delon and Seth. The next huge keys in this puzzle.

He looked aggressive, but wasn't converting a lot. So shot selection and effectiveness still remains to be seen.
DFS looked good.
JBrunson was really controlling the game, effectiveness seemed to be limited though.
Boban didn't do a lot.
Maxi pulled the long ball trigger quickly.
Curry was aggressive and effective on drives and threes. He'll be pretty good on this squad...

For example?
I'm neutral on him for this scrimmage, as imo I didn't saw any real mistakes, yes, but also not much more. An open three and two drives in traffic - nothing more other then that.
I especially missed some floor general behaviour - Brunson showed that much more imho...

Wow JJB looked like himself. What a recovery!
Fun to watch the replay even with the annoying music but to each his own.

Agree on THJ - looked like a bit of a chucker out there. Aggressive? Yes. Efficient? No.
Delon looked good for someone supposedly nursing a bad hammy. Was able to exploit the smaller guards on the blue squad. Hit an open look 3 - which is one of the keys to him getting big minutes, imo. He played good defense and got his hands on a few balls.
JJB didn't look limited. His stroke was solid.
But really, this was about seeing Luka/KP interact, and they are gonna hurt people. Luka's stroke looked great, and he had some great passes in this one. Really crafty dimes. KP was just silly with how he moved, faked, shot over people and generally just was unable to be covered. Made the person covering him look silly at times. He is worth the price of admission.
Seth Curry looked healthy. Shot well, drove well, active hands and defensive awareness. Only one scrimmage, but he looked VERY good.

Echoes my sentiments exactly.
I still think Seth is going to give RC no choice but to start him. Delon/Seth/Luka/KP/DP is the best way to go IMO.

That is a very balanced lineup. Not the strongest defensively, but that offense? Sick.
One other person I wanted to highlight - Roby. Wow. That dude is explosive. Was like a young Shawn Marion out there. He had a VERY fast jump and second jump. Seemed raw, but his athleticism really popped! He was getting up over the rim early and often. I can't remember a ton of stat sheet items, but just often thinking that what he was doing was explosive.

Really liked what I saw from the Delon/Doncic/KP/Kleber lineup. Good spacing with both bigs able to shoot from 3. Good defense with two great shot blockers and Delon on the perimeter.
Wouldn´t be suprised if that is the Mavs best lineup next year. Just one guard/wing missing.
DFS for rebounding/defense or Curry for shooting/playmaking?
