He's definitely shown no rust in Orlando.

Absolutely nobody can check Brown when he wants to get to the rim

Yeah we all want a bigger better Theis but easier said then done. I’d love Derrick Favors but realistically it’s all just very unlikely

It's a long game, but we're absolutely walking right through them right now...

yea, to be seeing refs overturn 2 calls in order to not send a guy to the bench was a first. I've never seen this before.

Except himself when he has those moments of indecision. :lol:

Hmm, I wonder if he does have a little bit of more potential in him he could one day reach.

Why would you ever think a 23 y/o has maxed out their potential?

Bill Lumbergh · Post #115 » by **Bill Lumbergh** » Sun Aug 2, 2020 7:57 pm

What a great start. I really love Jaylen's aggression today. Now he's got a bit of finesse to go with his power game.

Have to be wary of getting too comfortable. We’re still facing a Damian Lillards led team and that man can be a problem in a hurry

I've always said that if Brown wanted it bad enough he's capable of being a top 10 player. He has elite athletic ability, he can shoot and defend, that's enough.

Now, c'mon Jayson, let's go, baby!

If Tatum can get back to playing well, I love our chances. Brown and Hayward as 3rd and 4th options is just a damn cheat code

probably because he could fully train again without coming off a broken hand. he looks like he did before the hand injury, he was our 4th 20+ scorer then. WE LOVE TO SEE IT!

Scary part is Hayward looks in shape and good to go. If Hayward can deliver, and Tatum is back at 20 ppg, we can beat anyone.

Kemba looking sharp, too. Love it.
