Honestly pretty good against the defending champs, they'll be a good eastern team

Same identity, same style of play, worse creativity obviously due to no Hali, weaker at C so far due to no Myles.

I know Draymond had one in his first game.

SGA is approaching peak Harden level. 21 points on 8 shots with 12 free throws in the first half does not sound like real basketball

Yeah I knew Nemb would run the point well.

They already discussed it during the broadcast so maybe not?

Should there be a time alotted to allow coaches the opportunity to challenge?

On one hand, it seems very arbitrary how much time they get. If the other team gets set quick enough they can get the ball inbounds in a matter of a couple seconds. Barely enough time to even call timeout.

On the other hand, having the ability to challenge does not entitle you to be able to have your coaching staff review the footage prior to formally challenging.

Chuck's lost a lotta weight. He looks gaunt.

Wow chuck lost tons of weight, good for him

Seems like Ajay Mitchell is ready to soak up as many minutes as he can. Dude is obviously putting in work and is going to make someone expendable (Topic perhaps?).

Was “10 eyes on him “ a saying last season? Don’t remember hearing them say that and now it is being said often.

Not really. Nemby is the one running point normally and when he's out, it mostly has been Taelon Peter that brings the ball up. Of course, Peter isn't an actual PG so he's not really running any plays, he's just bringing the ball up. When that happens, Mathurin and Pascal are the ones that mostly run the plays so, in that sense, kinda.

Except for the fact that he pushes off more often than not. Always has. Good for him for getting away with it. Disgusting to watch nonetheless.

Who wins?
