Starters rotations, subs rotations, multiple 3rd stringers, garbage time players and G-Leaguers...we still dominate Cavs on their floor. Won the first and third quarters and we're not outscored in any Q so far on the road.

I am officially hopping on the positive bandwagon. The season is going to be fun and most important of all...competitive.

The Jett pick was the one Weltman went out on a limb on compared to the consensus.

Will be great if he's proven right for once.


Kinda reminds me of that time.....

Reolace Black with Suggs and Jett with Franz

Lol time will tell

We won because Cavs ran out of time.

Understood, just those last 4 minutes with these players were maddening.

Absolutely. To be fair we didn't do anything to actually try to help the guys on the floor. Calling timeouts, intentionally fouling up 3. Thankfully the Cavs didn't appear to know they needed a 3, either.

Like what I see for the most part, we still can get better and clean some stuff up. There were some unnecessary turnovers.....got to figure out that bench rotation

The main takeaway for me is the Franz/Paolo chemistry. Wowza.

Suggs and Fultz also clicking, which is nice. JI, Cole, Ingles, and Mo have a lot of potential as a bench unit.

Black looked scared but I did like the activity off the ball, both offensively and defensively. I think he caught a bit of bright lights syndrome when on ball. Jett can SHOOT. Holly cow.

DJ Wilson is not good at all! :noway:

Queen needs an NBA contract

Chuma and Gonzo should be traded for cash considerations!
