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

[DeMar DeRozan @DeMar_DeRozan]

You ever just sit in a dark room and feel like the darkness is the only thing that truly understands you. No fake smiles, no false hope. Just raw bitter silence…

[nmz @nmzhoops]

RIP 💔

I promise to make this journey for the both of us now.

[nmz @nmzhoops]

17-0 run, Draymond moving screen, and a technical to blow the game is brutal.

No points scored for 3+ minutes to blow a double-digit lead on your home floor is nasty work.

It’s might be a long season for Steph and co.

[nmz @nmzhoops]

Amen Thompson wow, sent Wemby away to seal the win.

That’s special stuff.

[nmz @nmzhoops]

Dylan Harper is so different man, raced down the court and just spiked one on Sengun’s head.

This game is insane.

[nmz @nmzhoops]

These Rockets looking good.

Ball is moving, energy is there, and shots are falling.

They’ve got the Spurs on their heels.

[nmz @nmzhoops]

Jayson Tatum with some nasty shot-making to cap off a 25 point 2nd half.

Superstar stuff.

[nmz @nmzhoops]

Mitchell Robinson with big plays on both ends, what a sequence.

[nmz @nmzhoops]

@GKTRE_ yup seen that drive too

[nmz @nmzhoops]

Through 2 games Jayson Tatum has made a more concerted effort to diversify where he scores from.

The issue to me is that he isn’t being physical enough in the SMR/Painted areas.

I love the playmaking, but a primary option that’s a 6’10 wing with 1 FTA in 2 games ain’t it.

[nmz @nmzhoops]

@bansky yea i think the reads and passes are good but they feel a little too soon on some plays

want to see some plays where he holds his line, plays through the bump, and goes off 2

nobody else on this roster besides maybe pritchard will generate fts, they need it from him

[nmz @nmzhoops]

Peak hoops

[nmz @nmzhoops]

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.

[nmz @nmzhoops]

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.

[Colb @___Colb___]

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

[nmz @nmzhoops]

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.

[nmz @nmzhoops]

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.

[nmz @nmzhoops]

I hope Kenny Atkinson doesn’t use the word analytically in the post-game presser.

You can legit say anything else.

[nmz @nmzhoops]

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.

[nmz @nmzhoops]

No player ignites the Philly crowd like Tyrese Maxey.

[nmz @nmzhoops]

oh and 14 turnovers

[nmz @nmzhoops]

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.
