Not an awful start overall, but staring at another year of getting absolutely MURDERED in the paint on offense and, especially, defense. Sengun will be one of many bigs with Chamberlain-like performances against our interior pillowcases.

LaMelo and Miller look good. Mann's great energy off the bench and when his shot's falling, he'll win games for us. Nice hands from Diabate on the steal.

Micic is one level too high on the depth chart, Richards should be a third-string center and he's already gotten his lunch money stolen for the first week of school.

Micic really looking hard to score points, and...he doesn't have any.

A lot to like in quarter one, a couple of good laughs. Hope Nick foul problems lead to Tiddy time.

1) LaMelo is the offense - massive drop without him.

2) Micic is a sloppy drunk

3) No difference between Diabate vs. NicRic

if we learn one thing from this game, can we all admit Cody Martin is a terrible basketball player and shouldn't be in our healthy rotation?

Our idea of 3pt defense is to stand 10 feet away and put an arm up.

There's far too much talent in today's game to run a complete zero like Martin out there. He's one of the few zeroes in the league who actually gets playing time.

Everything is fine. We're winning this game.

Richards is a third string center. Micic isn't an NBA player

True, true, and the Cody Martin experiment blew up. He's a catastrophe.

Keep playing like this and Cooper Flagg and Ace Bailey will become a reality.

What did you do this summer?

Micic: *burps*
Martin: *swimming in free money*
Grant: *mouth full of Bojangles*
