I didn't think we'd be this good this quickly and we still have a lot space to improve

I’m constantly needing to readjust what i think the ceiling is for this team is. Things are almost going TOO right

Yeah, other than that bad pass off the backboard, he has been fine. Made a couple of his nice Booker-esque shots.

It is weird he seems like our 7th or 8th best 3 pt shooter during games though.


I think its just people are expecting him to score 30 a night, but he has a solid team around him, so its not needed. He's been playing fine tonight, and has throughout the start of the season minus the turnovers. Its pretty big that he only has 1 TO tonight.

The Yahoo Fantasy Tracker is pissing me off tonight. I usually have it up on my 2nd screen, mostly for the games boxscore, but for some reason tonight it isnt self-updating in realtime. UGH!

It was acting really strange with Jaylen Brown. Adding and subtracting points, blocks, steals. Guess the whole thing is bugging out.

I feel ya

Things are going very well and we also know for a fact that Booker has proven he can be much better, the CP3-Ayton connection still needs a lot of work and we have a low-key really good bench.

Lakers/Spurs coming down to the end, tied....AD and LeBron with big games, but DeRozan and Johnson with big games for the Spurs.

I think what is REALLY helping is staggering CP3 and Booker. Booker and Payne is decent, but CP3 with Carter, Galloway, Cam and the big is killer.

Though when Galloway, Carter and Cam are hitting 3s, it doesn't really matter who the PG is.

The switch from Jones to Kaminsky (along with Saric coming back for a few games before sitting tonight) has been everything.

Yeah, he hasn't handled it a lot, but from what we've seen so far, a 1-1 ast/to ratio is a solid start.

I think it's easier for him to just play freely when he doesn't get into foul trouble immediately. And some of those fouls in earlier games that got him there were pretty weak calls.

Very good point. Watching Jones out there flailing trying to do center sht is cringeworthy

Regarding Booker, I'm only salty because I have Booker on my fantasy team and I want him to average at least what he did last season. However, I'll take the dubs too.

Wasn’t Book statistically deadly on catch and shoots a few seasons ago? I think he would benefit a lot from try to eat on points like that now that we don’t really need him to playmake so much.

I just mentioned earlier today that Ayton is going to get different looks because of the scouting report. This is what happens when teams try to stay home on our shooters. :D

Even Mikal's misses are barely off.
