That last play by Lonzo to Zion is why Lonzo went number 2 I guess lol

Zion scored 11 spectacular points without a single play being run for him. He just knows how to move into open space, which is darn impressive for a rookie.

A comfortable environment goes a long way. We'll see how it holds. (It better hold)

Love this Hawks team, but we still don't give a **** about defense lol. At least we are exciting.

Ingram didnt have an offseason and just needs to learn when to pick his shots, not really worried about his play at all. Pels may lack shooting in their starting lineup (even though that Lonzo shot looks promising), but they have plenty of shooting coming off the bench. I think they're a Trevor Ariza kind of wing coming off their bench from being set. That is one well built roster.

Zion with the nice 11/5/2 with a steal in his first 15 minutes. Not a shabby start. Pels have to be the #1 league pass team this year. Even if they dont win all the time, no doubt their games are going to be so fun to watch.

Going to come down to chemistry and staying healthy but they have the talent. They can play small or big and halfcourt or run. Hawks are seem like they need a big veteran name to teach them how to win but is also productive. In the east the Hawks can still steal a spot

Somebody on IG said it looks like when you drop a lollipop on the carpet.

I felt bad for laughing at that one.

I never thought NAW was going to be a factor for this team this year. Also not shocked if we dont see too much of Hayes either. The dude is really raw still and Oak seems to really have taken getting into shape and playing team ball seriously. Either way I love their roster and I think they're probably the funnest team to watch.

Trae Young, John Collins, Deandre Hunter, Kevin Huerter, Cam Reddish

Gd the Hawks are going to be running the east in a couple years.

I know it can be said about any team but they need a Anthony Davis type player so bad. I even like that Len has found his stride they need to cash in with another two way star becomes available

Zions a really fun player to watch.

How many times will the phrase "it's only preseason" be used in this thread on average?
