Lakers might as well sign this guy out of the stands, he probably shoots better then their wings too 🤷🏾‍♂️

A thing to watch for is how teams that invert matchups with their big on Watson shifts the Cavs offense. Watson didn’t look as comfortable screening, had 5 tovs, & missed all his 3s. The floor feels cramped and honestly I think the team looks significantly better with Tyson.

What was the point of trading for James Harden if the bigs are still gonna get frozen out of the offense?

They need the things Watson adds on the other end, but he’s a major question mark to me on O. Very low feel player.

Nobody will believe in the Cavs because of losses like this, and honestly that’s fair. It’s 1 of 82, but with how last season ended this is a deflating way to open your season. 67-35 in the 2nd half, wilted against backcourt pressure, and gifted Philly freebies turning it over.

That’s a crazy over-turn by the officials. Embiid reaches across first before Harden swings up to shoot it. That’s purely a reputational decision.

I hope Kenny Atkinson doesn’t use the word analytically in the post-game presser. You can legit say anything else.

Craig Porter Jr has been solid to me. He’s one of the few guys on this team that high-points the ball on rebounds and secures it with 2 hands. Seems like a small detail, but on this team it really matters.

No player ignites the Philly crowd like Tyrese Maxey.

The lack of movement in Philly’s offense makes them a lot easier to guard than they should be. The ball changes side to side maybe once, and it’s a lot of guys staring at each other unsure of how to move off one another. They have 35 points on 39 shots and have only shot 4 FTs.

Really impressive 1st shift from Mario Hezonja. Overpowered the smaller Maxey in the post, good individual defense vs Jaylen Brown to force a miss, then blows up the handoff for a breakaway slam. Welcome back to the association.

Imo it should be closer so it’s easier to close out on. EuroLeague shoots it a lot too but it’s a harder shot cause it’s always contested.

He hit more 3s than the Heat last night, and the Wolves as a unit launched 50. With how skilled shooters are becoming is it time to consider change? Is the optimal place for the 3-point line now, really where it was when it was first introduced in 1979?

Anthony Edwards COULD NOT be stopped tonight in the Wolves season opener. 45 PTS, 10 REB, 16/29 FG, 9/17 3FG, 72 TS% Top 5 MVP favorite for a reason.

The Wolves look scary good, I wouldn’t sleep on this team.

Anthony Edwards is the best kind of heat check player because he’s never going to think maybe I should pass on this possession. He’s in the zone and Miami refuses to send a 2nd defender. Decent shot at a 50 piece in the opener at this rate.

For all the chatter about Brown and LeBron’s clunky fit, there’s one thing that stands out watching them. They’re much stronger than the typical 3/4s in the league in the pace & space era. Both guys are looking to duck-in and seal for easy scores, they overwhelm you physically.

last year they logged a combined 248 postups, this year if they play enough i think it’ll be more some teams like last night have one wing strong enough to bang, but very few have 2 and the smalls on new york last night were getting pinned below the basket very often

SGA that was gross 🤮 Sizeup work into a shot-fake, then a spin into a deep floater over Carter Bryant. Unreal skill.

Andre Drummond has a 1st half double-double and that’s with a few missed dunks. Great extended shift from the vet with KAT on the bench with 2 fouls. Knicks bench in general has given them an excellent lift.

Karl Anthony-Towns picking up dumb fouls is so irritating to watch. There was no reason to do that leg kick. It always makes me laugh how he has that perplexed look on his face when the official clearly made the right call.
