Yea that was a real fun game to watch! Everyone looked good to great out there!

Playing SJ/GRIII @ PF for a few minutes every game... and filling the rest of the G/F spots with the best shooters in the team is the way to go on offense for this team.
Edit: And hope that it works... or else, wholesale changes are needed to even get to 50% winning record. Too many non-shooters play on the perimeter for this team. It's not just painful to watch. It's also ineffective in today's game.

I figured we would see a more regular rotation tonight and yup. When the 3 falls, this team is gonna crush teams. When it doesn't, Blake and Andre are gonna have to step up huge.

Lots of kick tonight because of the demand both Andre and Blake make on other teams to defend at the rim. Gonna be at the very least, an interesting season.

We just throttled the 4-time defending EC champions by 19 points. Passing-of-the-torch game?

Blake looked like a monster. Also really love what little we seen of Bruce Brown there.

Casey ever say why Khyrie Thomas never logged any mins?

[MotownMadness]

Tolliver would have worked great with Casey

The last game we played against the Cavs WITH Lebron last year was some of the worst defense I’ve ever watched from an opponent.

After seeing what they look like defensively without him, I think we could see some truly historically bad defensive stats from that group this year.

The game was a lot of fun to watch! Personally I think the NBA is weak now. It's all run and gun and every team is doing it now. Basically if you can't shoot (stanley) you need to get out of the NBA. The game is still beautiful to watch it's so fast and the ball movement and rotation is gorgeous. But man the run and gun game? Weakkkk

Zaza is another player I’m actually impressed with. His ability to call for cutters and find them in the mid range is legit. Also a solid mid range shooter when the pass isn’t there.

The NBA isn't currently "run and gun". Those old nuggets teams were run and gun. They put up 126 ppg in one season. Last year's highest scoring team was 113. The league average in 1989 was 109. The bad boys were putting up 106 and were rightly considered a defensive team. The game is actually slower now and teams are getting fewer fg attempts per game.
