    Soak it up! We’re not winning like this in the regular season. Good to see the young guys hooping.

    I feel this is going to be how a lot of the season goes.

    No, not blowout wins, but segments of play where you're like "WTF? why isn't this the norm!?!?"

    Good game so far. Like I said, Scoot looks better, but his shot is still a WIP.

    Clingan makes Len look nimble, so how is it that Clingan is so good? If you combined Clingan's D with Boban's O you'd have Embiid in slo-mo

    ya know our half court D was not bad, at one pt in the 1st half they had 17 fast break pts and our transition D was just awful, they also have missed a lot of shots

    I don't know how many winning players we have, but one thing we have done is transformed the roster. We have so much length now and seemingly 60 million 6-7 to 6-9 swing forwards.

    We started the game with Scoot, 6-9, 6-9, 6-9 and 7-0.

    Defensively, he was holding his own with Sabonis and outplayed Len on both ends.

    When he gets an NBA body, he's going to be a real thorn in the side of the opposition.

    Looks like we might have a deep bench for a change...having a great bench is going to be fun to watch. .
