Wall went 0 for his last 11 in game 7 last year. He’s very good, but not THAT good. Curry’s better. Shooting wins in today’s NBA.

I'm not trying to knock John Wall, he's a really good player. Steph completely changes the way defenses have to play.

Steph is the greatest shooter in the history of the NBA.

The Dubs would trade KD before they'd trade Steph.

Ryan Archidiacano is on an NBA roster and Devendorf and Triche couldn’t make one ok lol.

Knicks look like they could go 0-82. I love the NBA, but I had to turn off the OKC-NY game in the third quarter.

Knicks and Bulls rosters look flat out pathetic.

Ron Baker doesn’t excite you guys?

Luka Doncic, baby!

Picking Nitkilina over Smith and Monk might go down as one of the all time draft blunders... great job there by Phil. I know its early but the kid looks completely lost.

Wait, for who?

 

[Cusefan0307]

Wait, for who?

The Bulls. Played 5 minutes tonight.

So you're saying he's in the G-league.

I haven’t seen Nitkilina play yet, but I like Dennis Smith a lot. Seems like a pretty safe bet to be at least a solid starter, and possibly a multiple time all star.

Nobody has seen Nitkilina play yet...

Knicks out here developing players by not playing them. Let's see how that works.

Solid start for OKC. They could use some more rotational shooting but are absurdly athletic.

 

[Cusefan0307]

Ennis is behind Alex Caruso in the rotation?

He wasn’t. But the last few preseason games, Ennis did nothing and Caruso played well. Last I heard, Walton said Ennis is the backup but things must have changed? At least for now.

Considering the expectations involved, I think Ntilikina had a better debut than Lonzo has had so far.

He played briefly in the first half last night... it was fugly.

Lakers and Knicks might be the two worst teams I have seen in a long time. Knicks actually tried on D so I'll give them credit but their O is horrific. Too many turnovers, way too reliant on jumpers zero speed to penetrate the defense.

Lakers won’t be that bad. Luke’s gotta find the rotations. Played way too many guys last night. Randle only getting 17 min. doesn’t make a lot of sense. Nance played well, but Randle is the more talented player overall. Of course, Nance is the better defender.

Luol Deng doesn’t deserve this many minutes late in his career. Have to play the young forwards.

He excites me, I want to get the number one pick.

Billy barely played last night either.

Frank has been banged up, so I get that maybe they want to ease him into things. (Also, he looked really bad last night) Billy needs to play.

Monk was 1-9 in his first game with 3 TO.

 

[Cusefan0307]

Dillon Brooks, Simmons, and Smith are the most impressive rookies so far.

Don't sleep on Donovan Mitchell. 10 points and 4 assists in 26 minutes. Skip ahead to the 20 second mark for a very filthy move on Wilson Chandler and another one at the 1:20 mark.
