Watched the game last night. Most ready and mature rookie I have seen in a long time. The guy has everything. I will keep watching .
He was going through Jokic and Aaron Gordon as if they were just guards. I've seen Gordon give Lebron problems. Couldn't believe my eyes. I think he's realised now that he can get fouls for fun in this league. He could end up as a 20+ and 10 guy in his rookie year. First time I've seen a draft guy since Klay who could be supermax. I just hope they can hang in there until Jimmy comes back. Suddenly the season might end up interesting after all. First few games were depressing!

@the AntiPusher what are your thoughts about the Wolves and how Lamelo Ball fits now? :)
Well its early From what I seen Finch is coaching less than ever.. it looks like playground basketball but they are winning so far.. I see that they lost by 2 points to the Cavs.. Can they beat Spurs and a depleted OKC is the question. Hey dude dont dodge me without mentioned the dubs .. they are off to a horrible beginning but did wax the Nuggets at home

lol! Dodging! Dodging?? :face-with-tears-of-joy:I mentioned Yaxel a few posts ago. That boy looks like he could be a supermax player. They could easily have been 2 - 2 so far. They really shouldn't have lost to the Grizzlies. Well played Ty Jerome! But that should have been locked up. I'm actually getting a bit more optimistic. I think they have a kid that can hold things down when Steph is off the floor. He just needs a bit more time to really grow into it. I can't wait to see how the Warriors perform against the Wolves and the Lakers both games are coming up very soon. Yes the Wolves are playing loose ball right now, but I think it's part of the process to fully embed Lamelo. I think Finch really tightens things up in the playoffs. Right now I can't think of any team in the West outside of OKC and the Spurs that I would definitively put over the Wolves. I put them in the same tier as Houston. I'm not convinced by the Lakers yet. I think they're getable. I hope the Dubs play with more urgency and force next time. I want to see that Lakers defence tested, particularly Luka and Austin Reeves.

I saw the Fri night games. KD & Co took the Wemby squad to skool. Knicks were 0-3 over the weekend. Finally got off the snide tonight against Detroit. They say Antman has a right knee issue and will likely miss 2 months, ouch!

What about the HEAT.. I think we spoke about how I felt this was not going to work out for Bam and Giannis
