"and here's the new assistant coach for the Phoenix Suns, Jordan Ott. He was an assistant coach for the Lakers last year".

Good job Nuggets announcers.

Anychance they can get to mention the Lakers/Bron etc they will, there was a preseason game I can't remember which one, but nothing to do with Lakers games, but they find away to talk about Bron/Wade lmao

These Hornets are playing hard for Charles Lee. Hopefully, Miller's injury isn't too bad.

I meant that Jordan Ott is the Suns' head coach and that he was an assistant coach for Cavs last season.

I wonder how Nuggets' forward Cam Johnson, who played for the Honka Play boys in Finland last year, feels about the commentating crew of his new team not doing their homework.

way too early for coach talk but at some point, you have to start looking at common denominators. We'll see how this looks come January or so.

Paolo has looked very bad to start the season. Still too much ISO. Perhaps, they've reached their ceiling with Mosley and it's time to move on. Every year the team is bad at offense.

58 bench points for Chicago and no Coby White. 2-0 start. Billy Donovan remains an underrated coach in the NBA (IMO).

Last night Orlando shot 29% from 3 (made 9 of them). And tonight they shot 12.5% from 3 (made 3). You're gonna lose a lot of games in today's NBA with that putrid of shooting. Bane only took 2 three point attempts. Way too low for him.

Mike Malone, Tom Thibodeau, or someone else?

We've had like 14 years of terrible offense so I don't even know what can fix it. Brought in new assistants too.

Paolo is now at 45.2 TS% through 3 games. Believe it or not, he was so putrid the first two games that this game (46.4 TS%) gave him a slight bump up! :o

You can't make that up...

Do we invest in a good shooting coach like OKC and other teams? I seriously don't know but it doesn't look like it.
