My observations thus far... :lol:

Morris is a steal... guy can play big time
Rose... see above
Kennard... finally starting to believe he belongs and can be the man
Drummond... so far so good
Blake... he looks a step slow to me. Not sure what’s up with him?
Reggie... same as the start of last season, can’t get past his man. Fortunately we now have DRose!

As a Michigan alum, seeing the best b-ball coach in the University of Michigan history coaching an Ohio team KILLS me.

Ok, there is some hyperbole there. I hate it most for what Michigan b-ball lost than anything.

i'll actually get to watch some of this! haven't had that chance with the first two games.

blake is sitting tonight, morris gets the start with joe johnson backing him up. keith langlois also suspects rose's minutes will get cut back a bit tonight.

oh yeah, i'm excited to see my pre-draft favourite, darius garland play. the cavs also have dylan windler and kevin porter jr. (the guy the cavs took with the 30th pick we traded them).

Not buying ISO Joe as a PF.

I'm at LCA. The number of people not here is staggering.

Nice moment of silence for Fred McLeod. And now it begins...

This is why refs shouldn't use flavored whistles. It only encourages them to blow on them more.

Two quick fouls on Love... heh.

Pretty sure Dr's 3 point attempt was really a 2... foot was on the line.

Dre's got autocorrupt to Dr's.

only saw a few plays so far but drummond's handle looks a little crisper and looks more controlled driving to the basket - looks like his work this offseason staying strong through contact has helped.

"Rose is not looking to pass the ball much right now." Indeed he isn't, announcer. Indeed he isn't.

Yes, that's me shouting "run an ISO, Joe" .

Derrick Rose is doing some real work on the court. Luke the Puke from Duke isn't sucking. Don't like the rest of this second unit.

"Run" doesn't seem to be in his wheelhouse anymore.

Probably the downside of Wood right there, took it in transition instead of giving it to Luke

Christian Wood finally didn't get jobbed... nice dunk!

GreekAlex · Post #20 » by **GreekAlex** » Fri Oct 11, 2019 11:48 pm

Wood is very skilled and exciting to watch.

I pray he gets all the backup Center minutes and we can put Thon to rest.
