    King of empty stats.

    As Embiid squashes him every game, that means he's trying to take his pain out on the new rookies in the league.

    This is a bad take. Only thing Green did bad was shoot badly. That's it. That's all he did.

    Didn't turn the ball over despite his playmaking supposedly being a knock.

    Was able to drive pretty consistently, which...very hard for a rookie to do.

    Played within the team, didn't force too much, if anything should have been more aggressive.

    Suggs is 2-11, 7pts, 1 assist, 3 TOs in 25 minutes. Not much better than Green.

    why trade wood? theres only 5 such players in nba... he just needs a good system(ie a proper coaching) and a playmaker that can throw him a lob or give him the ball in the right places...he is not a playmaker

    People have been way too harsh on Mobley. It's one game but honestly he's looked the best since preseason out of the big 3...Cade ain't even play yet.

    That statline for a rookie is pretty impressive for his first game...but people really talked themselves out of even CONSIDERING him as the #2 pick. Some of the talking points against him were garbage tbh.

    He has to do that because there's no system. literally looks like a system built for harden step back threes.

    I know +/- stats dont tell the whole story but he was a team worst -37 tonight. His terrible defense is what I'm worried about more than his O cuz I know he will find a way to turn it on. KPJ had 9 ****ing TO's to 3 asts. a -3 ast/TO ratio & looked lost 90 percent of the time he was out there.

    That was one of the dumbest trades in Rockets history. I will never forgive Morey for that.

    I really liked what I saw from the young guys...have to give Minny credit, they played some excellent defense and are top 5 team in the West

    Green was much better than most of preseason. We missed a bunch of shots and fiest half TOs killed us.

    This is going to be a lot of fun

    Green’s lack of strength will hinder him, but I expect him to get it going somewhat at some point

    Edwards averaged 15 ppg on 37% shooting pre-ASB his rookie year…I wouldn’t be surprised if Green is mostly horrible to start the year and then starts showing more glimpses and more consistency

    Silas has guys just out there running around for cardio looking clueless on both ends of the floor
