What a team

I disagree Kek. Lamelo was an A. I would argue its harder what he did in the 2nd half having to ride the oune the whole first half cause of foul trouble. I thought it was very impressive.

Are we concerned about Ant's knee?

A little

Also thought the new Play by Play guy was good

I remember Calabro from the Sonics days. I'm glad he's here.

I think he's exceptional. He's really working on being "one of us"...talking about KG, the Vikings, etc...and he already has a terrific rapport with Jim Pete. Knowledge of the game, exciting delivery when something cool happens, and humor...wonderful combination! I'm digging the DAZN experience so far.

What a team

What a team is corect...so far greatly exceeding my expectations! If we can get a B (or even a C) performance out of Joan most nights, our ceiling goes up dramatically. He's so active out there (yes, a little out of control at times), but still he has had only 1 foul in each of the first three games...he's learning.

As usual your grading is very accurate. I have only one major difference. It doesn't matter much because he is our 10th guy at best, but as much as I love Bones' enthusiasm and toughness, I give him a D tonight. I loved the 3 blocked shots, but if Bones isn't making shots, he's not going to help us much. It's difficult to be a -11 when your team wins by 23, but Bones managed to do it. A D grade might actually be generous.

Except the halftime show was atrocious. It looked like 3 of my buddies and me were doing a podcast in our basement. Besides that I also agree the new play by play guy was great.
