Reaves slowing down.

Only 18 points and 9 assists in the first half.

When Luka and LeBron come back this is objectively a good team. Good experience and showing from some of our ancillary peices.

Joe Dumars has to get fired after this game right? The Pels gave up their 1st round pick this year and they look like a bottom 10 team

Peyton Watson has taken a huge leap this off season. Could be a real X factor player for Denver this year

Full court pass with the offensive player sealing the smaller defender. Wonder who Reaves picked that up from…

Five games for Portland, all five the Blazers have at least 10 steals.

LaRavia's gonna prove to be a great pickup for the Lakers. So dumb the Grizz didn't pick up his option last Fall. He should still be on his rookie contract.
