Reggie made it sound like we were on blistering pace by being "already up to 10" threes with 4 minutes left in the game. Don't get me wrong, our potential as a 3P shooting team is leaps-and-bounds better than it was a year ago, but it's not like we were at 10 made 3s by halftime.

Last year it felt like we could never pull away like this.

If f we are trying to showcase Grant by giving minutes then I think we’re hurting his value.

I think we made fewer than that last February.

He can't guard porzingis, but that shouldn't be a surprise to anyone.

Abrines looks rusty. And can't play defense-y.

I know the Knicks are awful, but it's still nice to get a 20 point blowout win on opening night while trying to work in two new big name players.

Russ played a nearly flawless game. PG and Melo were very up-and-down, but showed flashes of what has OKC fans so excited. Still a lot of kinks to work out, but it's still a win. Russ got his triple-double, too, and he was very efficient in the process.
