    MCW looked good. Maybe we can use him in a Roberson role, rarely takes 3s and mostly drives and cuts. His defense and hustle stood out.

    Memphis beat us twice last year before they realized tanking was a good idea. It's not surprising that they can play us well because they're one of the few teams with a legit center.

    I find it kind of odd that we gave Ennis the starting role... just like that. What happened to starting Harden, Paul, and Gordon? Maybe we're waiting to do that when Tucker returns.

    Melo is gonna have to start IMO. We could use the offensive boost.

    So it's weird because I actually attended Syracuse University and even still never considered myself a Melo fan. Is this the year I become a Melo fan? We'll see! I can say I definitely like that he is not Ryan Anderson. He has that going for him for sure.

    Chriss has always looked lost on the court. That's the major knock on him.

    Another new rule that helps Golden State more than anyone. They'll be in the penalty early in every quarter and their damn near 100% from the FT line. James should benefit from it as well.
