Is Jock Landale playing tonight?
Does anyone know?
Or is he still recovering from the rolled ankle?

Might be clickbait but News Ltd speculate Green or Daniels might get cut instead of Cooks or White.
blockquote>WHO IS THE FINAL CUT?
The biggest question everyone wants answered.
At this point, Jack White and Xavier Cooks appear to be the two names being consistently tossed up as the two most likely candidates to be cut from the squad.
Although there may be a late twist, with News Corp reporting young guard Dyson Daniels and versatile wing Josh Green could also be at risk of dropping out.

Is this a basketball match or a dancefest - turn off the incessant music that adds nothing to what is happening on the court.

Hooping, they still don't get it.
It's a basketball game, not a concert.
So annoying.

If they cut Dyson or Josh they are crazy. You have to bring these guys along.

Cooks looks way out of his depth. No way can leave White out, he backs up Kay perfectly.

Think it could end up being Goulding or Daniels despite what goorj has said.

Ingles should've sat out, or played limited minutes in this game, and Daniels should've got his minutes.
Give the young guy a run, seriously, invest in the future now.

Probably won't know who to cut until the 3 tune up games are over.

I miss Twitter, I had no idea there was even a game tonight.

Defence looks great, albeit against sub-par oppo. Cooks' defence tonight is going to endear him to Goorj. Fits this system very well.

Green should not be cut under any circumstances. Dyson would be a tough cut too. Look elsewhere.

Congratz to 'Dwayne Reath'... absolute muppets.

Afraid Goulding might be firmly in the firing line here. See what happens on Wednesday.
But Josh Giddey - crikey!

If Goulding is injured, I'd say that keeps both Green and Daniels safe from the cut. (no Delly, I won't hold your beer...)

Consensus bubble guys watch:
Cooks - 16m 5p, 5r, 4b, 2-3 fg
White - 16m 4p, 8r, 2-5 fg
Got to give that to Cooks. Goulding unless seriously injured needs to be there for his shooting but Daniels looked a bit like a deer in headlights and is superfluous to the teams needs.

Green is expected to play a game in this series, as is Landale.
I think your cuts are between Goulding and Daniels from what I see right now. I think we can legitimately use both of White and Cooks.

Defensively Cooks had some good plays, but he also made some bad mistakes at the other end. White didn't look as flashy, but generally solid.
Reath making a strong claim for backup 5, especially if he gets minutes alongside Giddey for some PnR action. I expect Giddey and Landale to work together in a similar way.
What was Giddey's +/-? It felt like Giddey generated everything, and without Giddey the offense struggled.
White vs Cooks decision still a very tough call for me. White also had a run at the 5. I just don't see the point of bringing both, especially if it means cutting someone like Daniels or Goulding (unless injured).
