Before this game every time I caught Colby White he looked like God. I couldn't understand why his stats were so pedestrian. After tonight now I know.

He’s a better ball handling Jovic but Jovic has size on him. They’re similar prospects

If Chicago is to have any chance they need to get this to ~11 by the 4th.

Spo's coaching is so elite he can call a timeout and tell the other team to stop doing what was working. :roll:

Dame wanted to play with Jimmy, ended up getting an upgrade in Giannis.

The Dallas crowds have me spoiled. I expect fans to boo the crap out of their team when they turn in a crappy performance.

A more reliable 3 pt shot too. Will not be a superstar but a legit starter i think.
