Hoping for a big game from boy Kawhi media be disrespecting him too much. Can't wait to see him shut them up in the playoffs

Good start

Another good test with the two stars playing.

Westbrook has come back down to earth after starting decently efficient, not looking like he can push the Rockets to a next level, but it’s still early, and their record is looking good.

Beverley flying around, wow, lol

[TheNewEra]

Have a lead don’t need to rush so much for sloppy turnovers

[TheNewEra]

I like this keep the rotation at 10 man let guys fight for mins

Maybe I spoke too soon about Jerome's chances of developing into an NBA-caliber player while he's here. He's finally starting to show some confidence in his game!

ahhhhhhhh i lost track of time what happened in the 1st quarter who was good who was bad

[nickhx2]

these jerseys look way better in play than they do straight up.

Just have to keep him involved let him play through mistakes that we allowed Shamet and SGA

The whole team's looking good so far. Especially defensively, the rotations are on point there. Only complaint is Bev picking up a couple early fouls.

am i weird for liking this new camera angle

Well, the better you are, the more you are allowed to play through, that’s the thing.

That said, there’s actually no real support to the idea that young players who don’t just get essentially spoon fed minutes don’t develop or even develop slower, so it should be fine.

George’s volume 3PT shooting at high efficiency is a nice addition for a team, teams will always be weary of and tracking him behind the arc, opens up the floor just a little more

My main concern with Rome was never really about how many minutes he was getting, it was about how tentative he'd always look in those minutes. The past couple games, it seems like the lightbulb is finally starting to come on for him.

Yea, some guys just take longer to feel comfortable, it’s hard to do anything to make them get there, they just have to get to a point where every time they are on the court they feel, “I should be here”.

Y'all been noticing, Doc's been sneaking Jerome in for minutes, usually in the 2nd quarter when the kettle temperature is low. Although his traditional stats have not stood out, Jerome has quietly been in the plus of +/- most every night.

Doing it again tonight with a plus+6 in 4 minutes.

On a side note, I have mixed feelings about posting up Harden so much. On one hand, it plays into his only strength on the defensive end. On the other hand, it makes him use up energy that could otherwise go to his flopping and chucking on offense.
