Kinda think Udoka Azubuike might be better than Whiteside...

Man Portland needs to get Dame some help. They lost melo and replaced him with Little??

Zeller Nance little Simon and Lillard was out there at one point. WTF is he supposed to do with that ?? Why didn't they get a Rudy Gay or something. They need another legit 15ppg tall wing

They should prioritize defensive minded guys more than a guy like Rudy Gay

CJ for Simmons just makes too much sense for both teams

Just effing around with lineups to a degree. I doubt very much that Lillard will ever play without CJ or Norm out there with him during the regular season.

Kings are absolutely torching the Suns.

Suns appear slow. Will be last year's Heat. No doubt.

Jordan Poole will be MIP. This kid is really upping his game.

Still not enough scoring out there if you ask me. Not enough two-way players. They need like a sparkplug wing player. Just in this game GSW depth is way way better than Portlands and they're even more top heavy the blazers.

Dames gonna have to do a lot of heavy lifting this year

Jared Butler looked like a rookie who missed Summer League, but he'll be a pretty good player, imo.

Eric Paschall is now a drive-and-kick player, apparently. He's good at getting into the lane off the dribble.

Mitchell looked pretty good defensively for the Kings. Haliburton's court vision, wow.

Should pencil us in for the mighty 11 seed.

Warriors look really good. Bjelica...there's something about players from former-Yugoslavia states and exceptional court vision.

NAW is ready to breakout, and Trey Murphy is way better than his draft slot. Might actually have some depth.

Bones is looking like a real steal. I love watching this rookie and I truly think he'll move up in Denver's guard depth quickly.

Ran the point well.
