At least for now they're executing smart offensive possessions.

I'm seeing a lot of actions on offense or am I tripping?

I’d have been fine passing on Black’s too. But there’s no way even Weltman, who is a terrorist, could spin non-tendering 2 lotto picks from the same draft

Suggs trying to play too cute with the behind the back passes. Just make the simple execution!

At least we’ve redeemed both of those last two bumbles with buckets. Good to see shots are falling tonight.

Jalen Suggs is the most important player on this team.

This is looking so much more like last year's offense. But better.
We're running, but not uncontrolled. We're defending and our offense started there.

This gives me hope. Don't **** it up, guys.

Don't feel like it's much different lol, tbh Paolo and Franz are probing more with dribbling but hitting the open guys and we're making open shots.

Jalen's shot looks really clean so far this season. I do think he needs to shelve the fancy dribbles and passes though. No turnover from it yet, but it's coming if it continues.
11/18/2017 - I have officially disowned Nikola Vucevic and branded him a loser.

- Skal Labissiere was my guy in 2016 pre-trade. Whoops, but I still believe.
- Malik Monk was my guy in 2017. Whoops(?)
- Mo Bamba was my guy in 2018. TBD.
