Naz Reid when tasked with making a simple defensive read.

Looks like Ant is taking a page from SGA, start to see some better mid pull up moves for shot or foul

Watching the Wolves abysmal defense from the Julius/Naz frontcourt makes me wonder if Beringer will start to get some minutes sooner that most expect.

This is their schtick. We just need to stay close enough and make just enough shots to get through this one.

Very possible, but this game was kinda funky where Utah started off shooting thermonuclear from everywhere on the court.

Too many Harden parties before the start of the season. Beal 5 pts so far, Powell game high 28pt and 9 reb, love it.

Am I allowed to start the truth bombs about Naz Reid yet, or is it still too early into the season?

Yes, Clippers basically traded Powell for Beal.

It's hard to imagine the Blazers continuing to hit poor quality 3s at the rate they did in the first quarter.

What a ugly quarter to start the season. Very lucky to be down two. Is Naz on something? He looked slow and unbalance.

Jaylen Clark needs to shoot when he is open. Every time he passes up an open jumper, something horrible happens.
