Stirtz and Dix starting backcourt for tonights OKC preseason game at Atlanta.

OKC has to start switching on screens. Bennett running all over the place.

Muted the sound. The color guy has never said much good about former Hawks. And, instead of fairness, he's a homer lol. Rant over.

Dix with the assist.

Dix with 5/1/1.

Flemings only has 4 points, but he's looking good for Atlanta. He and Sharp have made Kelvin proud, I'm sure.

OT: I worked in N.C. in the '80's and '90's, and a co-worker and friend of mine whom I golfed with, was an underclassman to Kelvin Sampson when they were in H.S. He told me that Kelvin was a really good basketball player, but he was even better at baseball. Turned out to be a great college basketball coach, but still no National Championship, @EvilMonkeyInTheCloset.

Dix playing well on defense.

2 bad turnovers on Bennett. Come on guy!

Dix having a good night scoring and on defense. Need to do a better job rebounding and boxing out.

To me with both Dix and Stirtz, neither are quick guards by NBA standards and both are on the slight of build side and get bullied. Both need to get on the Barnhizer program

They both can shoot it so that's where they can get past defenders on closeouts, but on the defensive end and the backboards, they get abused.

Stirtz lit it up last night.
