    It’s so refreshing to have a reliable bucket getter when you need it. I think we’re going to be alright.

    Sengun is having a bad game, relative to his standard and it doesn't matter.

    Reed looks pretty awful, honestly. I'm also a bit concerned about KD. Can obviously still make tough shots, but is hardly getting any separation and can't get to the basket. Also seems a step slow on D. We can obviously still beat a sh*tty team like the Pels just based on our physicality, but this makes me pretty pessimistic about that season opener vs. OKC.

    Iron man Jalen Green re-injured himself and won't be starting the season.

    Interesting he went from rarely injured to injury prone as soon as he left the Rockets.

    The bar is *so low* for Reed.

    Imagine thinking someone a point guard when they pick up a dribble with no defender around 40’ from the hoop and lob such a bulllshit pass that a near 7’ man can’t even get a hand on it.

    I’ve seen enough.

    That's what we need from Reed. Just hit threes. I doubt he'll be a true point guard, but he can still fit well on this team if he can be the knockdown 3P shooter that was promised.

    Pels arent a shitty team they have in shape Zion, explosive scorer Poole and two crazy good wings in Herb Jones and Trey Murphy. Even their center Missi is like a young Capela.

    They are a big team matched up well with us and even then Rox buried them.

    These Pelican announcers must be part of the me too movement. Every small amount of contact is a vicious assault according to them.

    They really had no answer for him. Everyone was much smaller and couldn’t guard him. Unfortunately we didn’t go to him consistently and he wasn’t as good as he is now.
