Watching the boomers and Dyson Daniel’s is looking real good. Don’t know if it’s a fiba thing like patty, but he’s looking dangerous both sides of the ball

Big Willy Hernangomez never developed in basketball skills. At all. He looks like a slow footed caveman out there

The Boomers always have a point of attack defender on the perimeter to make life difficult for opposition lead guards. Green and Daniels are pretty relentless in rotation.

Green is exactly what you want in a 3 n d role playing guard. I’m glad to finally have one.

I watched a bit of the skateboarding at the Olympics, i was genuinely surprised about how boring i found it.

i know its tricky and I couldn't do it, like all the sports, but none of it excited me.

If you’re not watching aus v Canada basketball you’re missing a heck of a game. Green has been a little disappointing though

He was a rotation player in a Finals team, so seems like that's safe to say.

Cody was pretty good before he got hurt, better than his twin another playoff rotation player. Hopefully he comes back and gives us good depth along with Green.
