Nik Stauskas at least for tonight is living up to his promise when he came out. I loved his shooting at Michigan.

I'm amazed how fast the Lakers are pushing the ball tonight.
It's good to see because they don't have the shooting to make it work efficiently. At some point GM/Cocah LeBron James is going to make them slow it down.

It’s sickening hearing so many bandwagon Lakers fans at the Rose Garden.

If there's one group that hates the Lakers more than the Suns fans it's gotta be the people in Portland. Blazers fans are some hardcore soccer moms, but we could always come to an agreement when talking about the Lakers.

Embiid throwing down the gauntlet with 30/12/3/1/4. Now Ayton has to beat those numbers in his next game, right?

Why did LA give KCP all that money? Josh Hart is twice as good.
(Other than the Rich Paul thing)

This ain't the East, LeBron. Welcome to the Western Conference.

Or just play in back-to-backs once without snapping an ACL.

New Orleans is Houston's kryptonite now that they have both Mirotic and Randle. They're gonna be a big problem for any team who tires to play an open court game with them. It's also worth noting that James Ennis and Carmelo Anthony a massive downgrades from Ariza and Mbah a Moute (at least when he was healthy).

10/10/10 for Payton
I was glad to see him and Randle fit well in NO. They are IQ guys and I think AD and Gentry can get them competing every night.
Gentry basically played 7 1/2 guys. If he keeps that up, injuries will show up soon. AD and Jrue shouldn't be playing 38-39 minutes.
Gentry played 8 guys.
phx-suns.net loves to say that players can't play 38 minutes, but lots of stars do.
More 'shouldn't' than 'can't'. AD and Jrue have been pretty injury prone. Managing their minutes should be a top priority for that franchise.
