Mirotic has been fantastic through 2 games. If he keeps it up, might be tough to keep him off.
Mirotic is one of the most underrated players in the league. After he came back from injury in Chicago, the team went on a winning streak. He stepped in for Cousins with the Pels and that team did not miss a beat. Depending on the make up of your team, adding a complementary player can add more wins than a star player.
Is he really underrated? It seems like everyone knows he's a good role player.

Josh Richardson? Lauri Markkanen? Those guys aren't all stars. Horford, Lowry, Middleton, Drummond, Griffin, Beal, Wall, Gordon, Dragic all more likely

When you see these box scores it is easy to think that teams must be really shooting well but like Van Gundy has said
This "no restriction of player movement" stuff is really leading to so many whistles and making life kinda easy on offense

Apparently Chris Paul, Rajon Rondo and Brandon Ingram are going to be out for a while too......

I think tonight clearly adds fuel to my “Troy Daniels for MVP” campaign.

Everybody had better hop on the bandwagon now, because it won’t last!

I'm surprised it's taken this long for someone to take a swing at Chris Paul.

It looked like Paul and Rondo were jawing at each other, then Paul poked Rondo in the eyes with his fingers. Rondo retaliates by throwing punches, and it escalates. Surprised Paul did that; he's important to that team and shouldn't be getting himself suspended over a trifle.

Kemba Walker is having a nasty good season so far. He got like 39 and 7 tonight.

DeMar DeRozan is also playing pretty well. He had 28 points for the Spurs in a loss to the Blazers.

Supposedly Rondo spit in Paul's face which led him to put his finger in Rondo's face. Ingram is going to get the worst of it though. He started the whole melee and then he came back and got a punch in after Rondo/Paul started up.

Hope Rondo/Ingram both miss the game vs the Suns.
