In related news, Welt signed him to another extension and he’ll be on the roster until 2037.

I knew Coach shouldn’t have played him a full 11 minutes in the opener. Just asking for trouble.

Its too early for any team to tank. Give it 6 games or so.

With that said, expect BKN to go all out

I'm happy with whatever coach decides, but I feel like people on this board have unrealistic expectations for a #18 pick.

Moe and Goga.. Goga is our next best shotblocker on the team after JI. You can't let opposing wings blow by or opposing 4s muscle their way through TDS and expect Moe to help out.

We are now going to be the hunted instead of the hunters. Will be interesting.

Ben Simmons at the center. We could see some extended run of 3 guard lineups maybe with Paolo and Franz at the 4/5

I think he's a better fit for the rotation vs sliding Moe down to the 4. Three point shooting and IQ is legit.

Ben "been" Simmons, forgot he was a NBA player. Honestly him at center makes sense, he's a taller Fultz who we all said played like an old center, all drive and no shot.

Did you see what happened? I bet most of our guys would be out if that happened to them.

Get off it. He was terrific last year and anchored our defense. It was a freak accident that involved him not wanting to hurt Mo. If he needs an extra day, give it to him.

I hope KCP can make some shots tonight. He was even missing the shots in warm-ups before the last game.

The good news is the Grizzlies are playing in Houston tonight, so we'll both be tired tomorrow night.

On paper we should be able to bully them. In reality though... Cam can keep up with Franz and Ben/DFS are known defenders so maybe they can limit paolo?

But the Grizz can relax at home while our guys sleep in a hotel?
