So Ja Morant is the new Derrick Rose.  Herky-jerky, change of pace, with absolute blow by speed.  And since this is the new era, Ja already developing his 3-ball.
Under 4 mins left, Memf down 2, DrayGreen switches on to Morant.  Who backs it up and then launches a 28 footer.  Swish for the lead.  Having fun, Ja holds his shooting pose as he dances all the way to the FT line.

Still with a lot to dial in, we move to 5 and 1 behind a barrage of 3s. How sweet it is.

Celtics having a hard time with double overtime games so far.

A weak team with its two top scorers out.  Scrapped and fought.
Knix lucky they were hitting 3.'s.
Career game for RJB, who was dishing and swishing nicely.
Some bad passes and poor transition D.
Randle in particular tends to get back and guard no one.
Bad habit to start the season.

Like I said, a lot to dial in.

Luck may not have as much to do with our 3 pt shooting as you suppose. It may be more that we work at it and are reliably pretty good. That will be tested of course, and it will be a long season.

Raps a tough test coming next. We will see who steps up.

So if you are the Raptors, with their new found prize in Barnes and apparent chemistry, wouldnt you consider putting Siakam on the block now?

Once Pascal comes back, less of everything form OG and Scottie, Svi and one or two others.

I guess something like Siakim + Dragic + ____ could cover.
Dragic and Maxey could be an adequate platoon.

or

Quote
Simmons + Thybulle & Springer = Siakim + FVV

FVV - Scurry - Siakim - Tobias - Embiid
That's a powerhouse starting 5.
And still a solid (though unproven) bench of Maxey - Korkmaz - Shake - Niang - Drummond

TOR:
Simmons - Trent - Anunoby - Barnes - Boucher
A real athletic starting 5.
Also fairly deep:
Dragic/Flynn - Springer/Svi - Thybulle - Achiuwa - Birch

I don't particularly agree.


Yeah, Taj is STILL helping to win games for us. Honestly...rest of the post lost due to auto truncate, what's the secret again to actually posting?

Suns decline third-year option on Jalen Smith, making former top-10 pick a free agent in 2022
6 games into his 2nd season and PHX isn't willing to commit $4.7M to last year's #10 pick. 
Taken two picks after ObiT and two picks ahead of TyHallibut.
I thought it was a terrible pick by PHX, though kiid assured me I was wrong.
Smith and Kilian Hyaes were the most likely Top 10 busts from the 2020 draft.

Said to be a deep draft.
But picks 5-9 are all coming off the bench, while #10 Smith is a DNP even though Saric is out for the year.  Interesting too that 2, 4, 5, 6 were all defensive players (Wiseman, Pat Williams, Okoro, Okongwu).

As for Pat Williams, he was coming along somewhat slowly.  Bulls could sure use Markkanan about now.  But they also could have simply traded Markk for Nance.  Instead they 3-teamed it and got Derrick Jones Jr. and gave up a 1st rounder.  Er ... DJ Jr was out of the rotation until the Williams injury.  Unimpressive.  But an opportunity for Jones to get back on track.
