    yeah, MM deserves a few left hooks and body punches - he's earned them

    I think the knock was that he didn't play strong all the time at Illinois. It's going to be about consistency with him.

    One thing about Luke - his block out on the defensive boards is solid.

    Lillard/Aldridge PnR is going to be deadly...

    I'm talking more about his confidence and tempo ... he just looked really unsettled and rushed.

    Lillard is pretty much embarrassing Rivers right now.

    Both Leonard and Lillard are doing what they're supposed to do in their first game. Leonard collect rebounds, run the floor and hustle. Lillard controlling the games pace, score, get people involved. Plus Lillard is destroying Rivers.

    So the way that Lillard drives, I'm seeing flashbacks of Brandon Roy.

    Leonard is looking like a beast. I hope he can duplicate some of this against regular NBA competition.

    Some serious BRoy nostalgia coming up over me seeing the poise this kid has.

    The unorthodox lefty finishes also reminiscent of Brandon.

    I'm thinking we may have found our guy that can take people off the dribble and get his own shot. Just saying.

    He has the exact same behind the back dribble move.

    I'll be honest, I was kind of worried about him.

    It's just one SL game, so I wouldn't read too much into it, but Rivers has got a ways to go.

    Man I had my doubts about our draft picks, but I couldn't be happier about them now.
