Yeah that's crazy about Mirotic and Portis - yikes

Watched the Boston game today and such a shame about Hayward. I instantly turned away from the TV when they said what happened. Marcus Smart is such a bad ass - he'll be restricted next year and we'll have no cap room but good god he is a guy I dream about us having.

Was super excited to see that league pass has FINALLY gone HD. Makes such a huge difference watching and thought it was the same crappy quality in preseason but they must have upgraded to HD for regular season.

PHilly is going to be fun and exciting but I would bet they miss the playoffs. They got great talent but its just too hard to win tin this league when you are crazy young. The east is really bad so maybe they will still sneak in but I don't think its a given. The will have struggles.

How did this guy fall to #9? The Knicks are going to regret passing on him most of all.

Injuries suck. Hayward and Lin done for the year in their first games. The NFL has been even worse with all the stars going down.

Hated seeing Anunoby healthy yesterday, that will haunt the wolves

even the best case scenario of Patton, he'll be ill-suited to play defensively next to KAT the way Dieng is

Lonzo is going to be a monster, but the Suns are unbelievable trash right now. They lost to the Blazers by 48. I knew they were going to be bad, but I didn't think they would look Bulls-bad. They look straight up Bulls-bad right now.

Still, credit to Lonzo. 29, 11 and 9 for his second game in the league. Damn.
