I'm watching on delay so I'm not reading the thread first but I just watched the first quarter and basically giggled all the way through it. This season is gonna be some Dream Team vs Angola kind of shit sometimes.

And the Porzingis Revenge Tour, man. Wouldn't want to be Dallas when we play them.

What happened to the minimalist whistle of the first 3 quarters? This is a blowout. Why are we dragging it out unnecessarily?

I am not at all worried about Hauser who was shooting well out of the gates. His defense is very good. Pritchard, on the other hand has looked rough all the way along.

not sure I've ever seen a game where we basically go for every offensive board and don't respect their DRB + Transition game at all.

I’m sorry, a guy just jumped and landed on Pritchard’s head?

Think they should try to run PP off-ball more. And get Svi some run.

The bench singlehandedly forcing our 3 point % into the toilet.

Starters were 15/29, bench is 0/15, works out to a total of 34.1%.

I feel the opposite. At least Pritchard can drive and kick, do some other things. Hauser looks lost with the ball off the dribble and if he can't make wide open threes, I'm not seeing how he's going to score. His defense has been good though, so here's hoping he finds it.

Also, Hauser went through a really lengthy cold stretch last year after his hot start and it fucked the bench for a bit.

Pritchard looks like he's trying to force things. He doesn't need to shoot his 3s from half court.

I will try and be a peacemaker.

They both look bad.

We seem to have some bench players who you can only confidently play when we’re trailing big and conceding the loss.

19 with 5 minutes to go is not insurmountable. A couple more empty possessions and makes by the Wiz, and the sphincters will tighten.
