Starting to play to our potential. All I wanted this year.

Y’all starting to like Ayton a little more ? Wait till he gets comfortable !

Pumped to see 16/11 and 5 steals

For sure. Maybe nerves got him the first few games, but he’s def looking a bit more confident as the days pass. I was worried ngl

Camara is looking like an absolute steal in every way.

Still an Ayton believer and Sharpe is looking like he’s ready. No way he can go back to the bench. He should be the starting 2 guard.

Starting to get legit a bit worried about Simons durability and so far Scoots a bit too…

I called this out after the SL injury, and it was largely ignored...maybe it needs to be, maybe not.

But Scoot has a history of chippy injuries. It's easy to forget what's that like with players like Lillard and CJ as the bulk of the G rotation the last decade...but it may end up being a thing.

In any case, I'll get a chance to see some of my buddy Mays!

Actually, I won't. I've had a terrible time finding games on the high seas this season. So if anybody wants to help a fellow pegleg out (cough)pmbox(cough)

Shaedon has a shot at MIP if he keeps playing like this. I know it's rare for 2nd year players, but maybe he can work his way into the conversation.

Love having Time Lord too. Seems like such an amazing lockerroom/vibe guy but just knows the game so well. Really hope he can stay healthy because I can see why the Celtics fans loved him.

The durability of this team is kind of a nightmare, but really hope they’re able to make it work because the overall vibe of the team just has absolutely no cloud over it.

Camara looking good...the Suns finally make a decent pick and trade him.

Ayton getting more comfortable. I think some of the team needs to try to look for him more, but it seems like Scoot is slowly developing chemistry with him.

Sharpe is looking good.

Grant scores, but man, watching him, I don't know that I have ever seen a player with more tunnel vision. His FGA/AST ratio must be the highest in the NBA, or close.

I almost feel like he would be better as a 6th man to get more ball movement in the starting lineup. I'm sure he wouldn't like that though. I wonder if they plan on trading him at any point. Even though the team may win a bit more with him right now, I wonder if he will hold back the young guys in developing a lot of chemistry and ball movement.

[DeBlazerRiddem]

This is the type of game I was waiting for with Sharpe. Where the team needs him to step up and he realizes he can do it, just go out there and assert his will on the game any time he wants. Scary if he can bring that second half mentality all the time. If he can look like this consistently then he should never come off the bench again.
