    ET has been fantastic this season. I don’t miss him playing the Batum role of camping at the three point line.

    He is converting his shots in the paint at a much higher rate this year and dunking a ton more. I love his improvement on the offensive end.

    Mirotic 6-20, 1-6 from three.

    Only thing really about this year so far that’s negative is Cj has fallen off bad and I’m a huge fan of his. And 2nd Nurk defense isn’t impressive this year

    It definitely helps that Stotts is not forcing him into being something he's not.

    It only took 2+ years for Stotts to figure out with Turner....what Brad Stevens had already showed him.

    We are NOT so much better than last year... definitely more fun to watch tho... but we have beaten Pelicans without AD, Rockets without Harden, Spurs without Murray, Lakers in their first game ever playing together, and a crappy Orlando teams... then we lost to Wizards, who may be worst team in league
