Yes, way easier to follow and root for these guys now. However, I think the post-Butler honeymoon period will end fairly quickly if we still can't defend and Thibs keeps running his tired iso-ball with Rose, Wiggins, and Teague firing up more shots than KAT.
Yes. Well, when Thibs is gone after this season...
By the way, I can't wait for Year 5 of excuses for Wiggins... "But the Butler distractions..."
And then next year "But he has to get used to the new coach and system."
I'm thinking that by 2027 we'll know whether Wiggins is actually going to be a star or not.
With that kind of patience we need to dub thee Saint Abe!
I was thinking some would consider him and optimist with that take!

Jimmy is aggressive and flying right now for the 6ers. I can't believe thibs allowed jimmy to openly throw at least 2 games.

Wolves opened at -1.5 but Pelicans have been bet into 1.5 favorites.

Why the hell is Thibs bringing Saric off the bench? If you're going to create the most dangerous offensive frontcourt in the NBA you need to start them together ffs

Yeah, but the 76ers are down 1 to orlando at the half, and Jimmy has 2 rebounds and no assists. It'll be interesting to see how happy he is with Embiid getting all the rebounds and simmons all the assists.

Taj sucks him off really well.

Meh. They can still play a good amount of minutes together without starting together (Saric will eventually be the starter, whether this season or the next). Also Saric coming off the bench is much more valuable to a second unit than Taj. I really think Taj loses a lot of his value if he has to be more of a focal point of a defense or offense. Imagine tyus, Dieng, tolliver, Okogie and Taj together. Saric can help those guys out wayyyyy more, at least on offense.

Weve finally arrived in the pace and space era.
Teague and kat are balling right now.

Why can't we get back and defend after a made basket? Wiggins being Wiggins so far.
