Right? Looks mid

I know he'll have his good amount of amazing games but I'm not seeing the level up that we need from him. The jumper has not improved. I don't see any new moves. The defensive effort and rebounding has looked better (not tonight) but that's more effort than skill. What did he add to his bag?

Something is off with Paolo these first 5 quarters of the season. He doesn’t seem into it.

It's always the damn hawks & heat they play like this against...

Da Silva looks great to start the season. Great role player.

I know Paolo is better than this. I hope he can figure out how to be a contribution offensively in this faster pace offense. He might want to get his conditioning together.

It reminds me of 2nd year Paolo and we had to wait until that Jazz game winner for him to return to form.

TDS staring the season with a breakout! He looks so confident out there this season.

Anthony Black plays so MUCH better when the ball is out of his hands.

AB just isn’t him

Wow AB can get to the rim at will.

Paolo on the bench and we go on a run? Is this anything?

Black has been much more aggressive going to the rim this season. Good to see.

He's 1-4 with 2 TOs while our other star is 5-6 with 0 TOs.
