Should expect a lot of it early.

Dlo looks so lost on defense at times.

Didn't watch but did JJ look handsome on the sidelines?

Hope Gabe can stay healthy. He brings a defensive presence that DLO does not.

You can always tell what part of the season it is with a team that has Russell. Fan's convince themselves over the offseason that he won't look like a JV kid playing with the Varsity on defense but alas... reality is a female dog.

This guy isn't ever going to get it on that end of the floor. He doesn't want to. He'd rather over dribble and step back for a 3 point chuck.

What's behind the big 2 didn't look great. New coach, new system stuff but just athletically they seemed over matched.

No Ant-man or Randle on other side. Gobert played about 10 minutes. They got an early lead, and just kept it.

Nice to have basketball back. But I see nothing to change my prediction that we hover .500-ish and either just miss, or just make the post-season.

I've seen cracks in driveways as a kid that brought a defensive presence DLo does not.

I'll wait, we didn't ahave Bron/Ad either

On the bright side, Max looked good

and both ends of the floor IMO

DLO still the same, chucker doesn't play defense and rarely makes a pass.

I did like Knecht though first time really seeing him other then highlights, he has potential

DLO should be benched for Max

Defense is how PJ won close games. I’d like to see JJ apply that concept. Our high PnR defense is leaking buckets.

D Lo must not start.

Knecht had a buzzer beater 3 to put us up by 1 with seconds left, but clanked it. JHS and Christie looked good.

Good of JJ to let the kids try to finish the game.
