- Georges Niang and De'Anthony Melton are basically the first two players off the bench. The host says neither looked good. at 6:28
- Host objects to the rotation: De'Anthony Melton plays twice as much as Brandon Williams, and Georges Niang comes in before Gui Santos. at 7:25
- Georges Niang missed all of last season with a foot injury. The host says he is working his way back, hedged with "I suppose". at 8:10
- The host guesses at Kerr's reasoning ("I think he must be saying"): Niang's limitations are easier to live with than Santos's mistakes, because Niang is in the right place. This is not a Kerr quote. The host says Kerr is wrong. at 9:00
