Kessler stays at 75% 3FG%, but his eFG% will dip from 92.5% to 84.4%.

Man, I just wish Ott were smart enough to actually give Fleming and Maluach some meaningful run. This guy is no better a coach than the three which preceded him, but it's not really that surprising seeing he's an Ishbia bro-dude hire.

It's bittersweet for me that he was picked one pick after the one we traded away, even if it was for KD.

A choke job here would be devastating. Close this out AR.

Austin Reaves is some kind of flopper. God damn.

I thought Randle was going to shoot a jumper. Pleasantly surprised, he attacked the basket after being cut off the first time.

He's fools gold, man. Just wait. It's early into the season yet.


Honestly I think he's gonna keep it up. He's shown that he can be a pretty decent player if he's engaged, and he's going to be getting easy lob & drop off dunks all season long from Reaves/Luka/LeBron.

This is also effectively a contract year for him since he has a player option.

Ishbia is probably deluded into think we can actually compete for a play in spot so Ott is not really playing the rookies much at all.

The scary part is we may be much worse in 2-3 years time

Wow!!
Defense wins draft lotteries!
Fortune favours the bold, so it ducked Nico Harrison.
