What’s up with the Mavs tho. It’s crazy to see Deez losing like this to start the season

what i love about this kids situation- is the coach respects his offseason work enough to give him minutes...this
tells me that when "Cam" says- hes working on his weaknesses- I can not only believe him but that he making progress...


The difference between Cam of the last two years and this year is that he gets his shots within the flow of the offense without freezing others out, and he competes defensively (even though its a work in progress). It's night and day and it's testament to him maturing as a player and a professional.

He put in the work. I give Cam credit because I wrote him off after last season as a chucker that wouldn't figure it out. He still is improving in terms of making reads, but it's looking good so far.

said perfectly!
when i aquired him before the season started- this is what i hoped for... :D

Bro I’ve been watching you do this for maybe a few seasons now? Love your post game blurbs and commitment to posting your box score (in true bolded 2010 fashion lol). Keep it up man. Your team is looking really solid this season. Brooklyn is tough, but it was a good test for you at this stage to kinda gauge where you’re at and what you gotta work on. We learn from our losses and our wins. Always something to pick apart in this game on what we could’ve done better.

Thanks man!

We wanted this one against a divisional foe and championship contender. But like you said, it was a great measuring stick game and we’re taking notes on where we can improve! Our two losses have been to Chicago & Brooklyn on the road, so no shame in that.

Your squad is off to a great start being one of the remaining undefeated teams. You’re doing what you do. Championship or bust mindset and I wouldn’t expect anything less from you, of course!

Kings own us like we own the Clippers. Take it with a grain of salt.

Fox dropped 37 on the Rockets, moving us to 4-1. Balanced attack once again, just loving what we're doing here thus far.
Jazz: Under reconstruction, we'll be back.
