Josh is working to change his mind set. He said he didn't realize just how open he was at times when he caught the ball, and he would have pre-determined what he was going to do, such as drive to the basket. He is going to look to shoot a lot more. I guess time will tell if that is good or bad!

The Prince interview was great. He gave me bingo at first. But his opening up about his life these past two years and the injury struggles he has dealt with was refreshing. I am way more excited about what Prince might produce this year than I had been, and he is a guy that is very easy to root for.


I gotta say that as much as I like Josh, I cringed when I heard that :-o .

Jaden says he likes to be called J-Mac, but recognizes the other J-Mac was here first. I got excited when he said he grew a couple inches over the summer, but then he said he's maybe 6-8, 6-9 now. Might be the shoes/no shoes thing.

KAT gave me a chip or two on my next bingo card, but then DANG! Did he ever open up. Well worth a listen.

Whoa...let's just say it wasn't the usual cliched-filled interview. I still haven't processed it yet. DLO next.

Should we just wait to watch it ourselves or were there any points worth mentioning here? I'm fine with either answer, for what it's worth.

I just tuned in to catch D'Angelo Russell.

Edit: It appears I missed most of his time. Anthony Edwards up next. Get your popcorn ready.

Twitter is saying that KAT took some jabs at Jimmy Butler?

I would suggest watching it, Cam, because I'm still trying to process it. It was difficult for me to say whether he's unhappy, or just quite intense going into the season. I'm inclined to think it's the latter, and that's a good thing. He's an interesting guy, and he's not going to gall back on platitudes and cliches.

I have to admit I really like DLO personally. He's smart, and except for saying he doesn't care how the Simmons thing plays out, quite direct and honest. His improvement on the defensive side of the ball (and health of course) will have as much to do with our success this year as anything, and I thought he at least said the right things.

Ant next...this should be fun!

DLO's interview was also really good. I know he garners criticism statistically, but he seems like such an intelligent dude. I want him to succeed.

I don't think I could recount all the topics he touched on. KG, 7 years, constant chaos, COVID, peers in the playoffs, defensive accountability for not only himself, but his teammates as well, focusing on strength vs quickness this offseason, diversity and Gupta, and a lot more! Definitely go watch it.
