there's a bit of an edge to him - wade in play style but attitude gives me some jimmy butler vibes.

Mosley is going to find himself on the hot seat soon if this the level of play we're to expect from the magic. The offense hasn't improved and the defense is not good with the same players (minus KCP admittedly but they were great defensively the year prior to KCP).

A bunch of these teams have new players, that are going to take awhile to incorporate into their schemes.

Now, if the Magic are having these same struggles by game 20? Yeah, they've got problems.

They usually have a pretty great Black Friday sale for new subscribers. I just cancel my old subscription and sign up for a new one with my.name+peacock_7@gmail.com. The "+peacock_7" makes the site read it as a unique address, but it just goes to your standard gmail. Then next year, sign up at my.name+peacock8

Cavs have to get Mobley catching on the move a little bit more. His possessions are a bit static today.

This Sixers backcourt (Maxey, Edgecombe and Grimes) is off to a tremendous start to the season.

Morey always seems to figure out how to get the right pieces...He's just had the misfortune of picking Harden and Embiid as his lead guys.

So true. No way to really pick your high end talent, you take whatever you can get.

Last year the Sixers roster was way too built around Embiid. Every piece was picked up to play a role around him, so when he went down, they couldn't find an identiy. Morey talked about fixing that this offseason. He wanted to get younger, and more versatile. I think he did a pretty solid job of that.

Detroit struggling with 10 turnovers in the first 18mins. Offense looks completely out of flow.

No LeVert, Sasser, and Ivey is showing up tonight. No real 2nd guy to create off the dribble.
