The mythical 8+ Paolo assist game that happens once every 10 games.
He had 7 assists last night in the first quarter.

Ryan Kalkbrenner has made 25/27 shots to begin his NBA career. That's nutty.

Well we are on pace to score 140 which is good because that's about what we'll need night in and night out with how the defense has been so far this year. I'm happy to see penda getting in the rotation too, we will need his defense

Well, that was a good offensive first half. I’m a little bit worried about what’s gonna happen in the next half.

This version of Paolo is way better than contested mid range spam. Seems like an effort to change a bit, though it derailed last game when things got tough.

Bane needs to shoot the ball instead of driving with his face looking at the ground.

Hornets have some really weak defenders so we should look good, but definitely better than the alternative.

He was Howard's guy in the draft.

To be fair, he's spamming it tonight as well, but also picking his spots better to pass and teammates are hitting shots.

Nine stocks and somewhat defending without fouling but they are still scoring too easily on us imo

That's why I wanted him in the draft. Him and/or Maxime...

AB had 6 3-pt attempts yesterday and 5 in the first half tonight. That's what we need from him.

True, but only 6 shot attempts. I'll allow him a certain quota if he keeps looking to pass :lol:
