Re: Saturday 10/25 NBA Game Thread
There are some people out there who still believe Okoro is good. I guess because he went #5 in the draft.

It's going to take a while for Orlando to get into a rhythm but Tyus is cooked. They're trying to play out a much faster pace but it is hurting their defense.

Shai rests early. He'll probably play low 30s minutes tonight at most. Ajay Mitchell 1st guy off the bench for OKC which I love. He is so good and needs to be playing as many minutes as Daigs can find for him.
a bit early to do it but we will have to trade Topic at one point because it's gonna be difficult to give him minutes with Ajay around.

Yep. As soon as his testicles heal they need to play him more just to create some trade value for him.

These last two seasons with Washington and Phoenix, and now the early start here, it does seem like his best days are behind him. I mean, he's on a vet minimum now, right? Perhaps that's just where he's at now. There's no rebuilding his value. There's no improvement left in his game.

Yeah. Mosley needs to pivot to Jase Richardson. He looks very promising. But Mosley is likely going try to give Tyus a long run regardless of how bad he looks unfortunately.

Embiid is beyond cooked. He can still score, but he cant move at all. Every team will just abuse him up and down the court.

I was wrong. Mosley went to Jase over Tyus right now. Wow.

Tyus is 2-11 to start the season from the field, while being a traffic cone. Might as well give the rook a look.

Pacers went from having the deepest PG rotation in the league to no Hali, Nembhard and McConnell. This just might be one of those years.
