    We’ll see. A couple seasons ago, Rockets had a 7 game win streak early in the year but finished with 20 wins.

    If he hadn't've fucked up he would've still been coaching the Celtics.

    That's almost worthless. You're comparing David Robinson and Hakeem (then Akeem) WHO DID IT OVER AN ENTIRE SEASON to a guy who's done it over, what, 9 games? How many hundreds of rookies have managed to sustain that over 9 games?

    I think you missed the part where I typed he has had an impressive start to his career.

    ahh geez, the Bulls are shooting 32% again. They might need another team meeting.

    He's certainly getting his stats on a shitty team. Kudos to the Pistons for almost making up for last year's Jaden Ivey pick.

    Could you imagine this forum if we had a rookie averaging those numbers? They would NOT be mentioning that we are a shitty team....they would be writing his ticket to the HOF now and be complaining he wasn't a starter on the all star team.
    I was simply stating this kid a TON of people were putting down has stepped up quite nicely.

    I hate Chris Paul. And I generally hate whatever team he's on.

    Wizards couldn't score for 7 minutes in 4th. Kuzma & Poole totally blew it. Raptors 21-1 mega comeback. Toronto is .500 and Wizards fans want a refund.

    reminds me of POR vs. MEM, what was it a 26-2 run to lose the game?

    You're tilting at windmills. Who are these "they" and "TON of people"? Yes, I would certainly love to have a rookie doing that. He's like a rich man's Josh Hart.

    You are one of "They" and I'm betting you weigh in as a portion of a ton. Could it be 8-10%? You do realize you are talking to HCP right? That might be a higher percentage but he didn't include himself.

    Who was putting down Ausar? I saw lots of people saying he was the Thompson brother who likely had the more NBA-ready game.
