i like it but think Kon gets more minutes out of the gates. Probably at the expense of McNeeley

Kon and Kalk starting is surprising, throwing the rookies into the fire early. Guess we want to prioritize size.

I thought Kalkbrenner might start, but really expected Sexton to start in the back court. Kon is just an easy sub because he can play the 2 or the 3.

Two rookie starters on opening night. When's the last time that happened?

Edit: First time in franchise history according to Collins.

Coast to coast Kon!

K2 for that first bucket out the way. Should be good to go now

Melo got hammered off that screen. Someone has to call that out

Porter Jr looks like KD when he was all alone in Brooklyn just going for 30 a night

Fun game to watch so far. The young guys are hungry and playing unselfishly. Kon and Kalk both look great, I'm surprised Sion got into the game so quickly but he made some nice defensive plays.

It took almost the entire quarter but they finally gave you that call on back to back defensive possessions.

Kalk getting abused defensively in the paint all night

Kalk needs a break, Claxton is in his head.
Although I thought that and 1 call should have been a no call. Kalk didn’t do much wrong

What's with these refs

Love the energy so far on defense, Sexton plays super hard and it’s infectious

Wow the nets have shot 23 ft already, good thing they are only shooting 60%
