    This Chet clone from France apparently, 7'1 long mobile and can handle the ball.

    I'm really wondering if it's 1st game jitters or Thompson just can't handle ball pressure. Jalen's been off, too. Not sure that's first game jitters - it's not like he's a rookie. Alpi had a few good plays and a couple of bad ones. I don't know where Jabari is. It's just sucked all around with Tate being about the only one that's done ok.

    Amen is having a lot of rookie moments in the first quarter. It looks like it’s going to take us some time to figure out the offense.

    Not worried yet.
    TO's whilst stupid, just seemed like nerves. Even some of the bad outlet passes.
    This is where Ime comes in to settle things down at the break.
    We'll see. Hoping!

    This offense is not good and Jabari had his suck switch flipped back on.

    I want to see more post ups for Alpi - he’s not a good enough (or even willing enough) shooter to be anything more than a cone on the perimeter. Even if he doesn’t take the shot, he makes great passes to the cutter.

    And look at that - 2 pts on a post up!!!

    Where in the world did Sengun get this Dirk shot from?

    Jabari has played very poorly defensively. I would like to see how Jabari will fare at 3
