They also need to figure out who is going to grab rebounds.
+1. This ad is very cool. I'm a HUGE LeBron fan - so I may be a little biased
Same.
The Zaza Pachulia experiment looks like a flop, albeit after only one game. If they can't find a decent rim protector to be on the floor whenever they aren't playing their small lineup, they're going to have an impossible time keeping opponents out of the paint and off the glass.
Honestly, I don't really know if Kerr is as great of a coach as the last 2 seasons seemed to suggest. I'm not necessarily saying he's bad either, I just think the verdict is still out. Given that they've made some more definitive moves now with this team (and with staff in Gentry and Walton moving on), I think this season will give us a better indicator on that.
Less depressing or more depressing when you consider the only other options are Kevin Looney, James McAdoo, or running your lineup of death for 30-40 minutes a game all season?
I still consider them the favorites; they'll get better playing together and when they do go small I don't see how they can be defended. But that 66 win over/ under looks silly after last night.
Funnier still after it was discovered that the guy is a urologist and self described part time stand-up comedian. I've never heard of a doctor moonlighting at the Laff Factory.
Bulls scored 118 tonight in a 30 point win. Fred actually laughed and told some dry humor jokes in the post-game . He also said this team's stars actually "like" eachother .
This next 6 game stretch will see how improved Chicago is. Features road games in Boston, Indiana, Atlanta
It's early but it certainly seems like things are going well. Scoring really distributed around the whole team. They really need McD and Mirotic to hit from outside big time off the bench. Canaan will get a lot of minutes if he shoots it like tonight. Will be interesting to see if Valentine develops.
He really needed a guy like Wade in the locker room last year. Hopefully won't have people airing crap about their coach to the press this year.
Week 1 Power rankings came out today. Biggest surprise? I'd safely say it's been Chicago so far. Biggest letdown? Dallas? Indiana?
Has anyone else seen the 76ers play yet? I know it's early and his reps have been limited, but Embiid looks damn impressive with plenty of upside for potential.
