I'll chalk it up to just being game 1. But yeah, for someone who has been talking up their offseason a lot, he looks like he doesn't have the same burst to get by defenders.

He’s slow as hell lol

Rebounding wasn't even soft there IMO, dudes were just oblivious to the ball taking weird bounces and whatnot. Like Andre Drummond is shooting a three you gotta be prepared for a airball.

I think Dame looks good ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I'm against picketing but I don't know how to show it.

I think he's finding ways to affect the game outside of driving to the basket. Not saying he's been bad, just that the lack of burst was noticeable the first part of this game. Maybe just needed to warm up.

I don't think we'll ever comprehend how much Griffin messed up Pat and Bobby.

He does look good, he’s playing really good. He hasn’t really been able to beat guys off the dribble since he’s been in a bucks uniform though.

He was quick in preseason, over multiple games. That should mean more. This is a sample of 1. And he's wearing those leg sleeves, which he wasn't in the Pistons' game I just checked. I hate those things & knee braces. They're cumbersome. Slow you down.

Has anyone heard how much weight Bobby has dropped?

A Pat revival season would be massive. Dude was solid before the calf injury and was a huge part of our title run. As was Bobby, but Bobby was good last year IMO contrary to a lot of our fans beliefs.

Trent has done a great job making Maxey uncomfortable.

True. He looks like he's getting more speed as the game goes on too.

I actually have no idea what you guys are talking about, I think I saw Dame get to the basket with no resistance 5+ times that half.

The cutting and looking for them made a noticeable difference, after the sluggish start. Get some easy baskets off action.

Slow start but impressive 2nd quarter. Enjoying seeing many contribute.

Let’s get the win and hit the plane home.
