My disappointment is with Ball. He seems like a liability. Maybe we should try the rookie.

Ball scares me every time he touches the ball. Straight up.

Hell of a night for BI. Fun to watch him become an all around player.

That game had a good tell and I called it.

That +5/+4 against a relocated team with a rep of gassing out in the 2nd half was just disrespectful.

I like how no one is asking to see the rookie Louis play, because the team is so good. If they were going to be a bad team, everyone would be asking to see him just to have something exciting to watch.

Glad to see you won some money.

Gave up only 42 Points in the second half.

The games were much more exciting when we gave up 42 in the 1st quarter and the highlight of the night was when we pulled back within 15.

Zo had a good game. Will only get better.

If you call 5 turnovers to 2 assists a good game. Reckless with the ball once again. His only saving grace was going 4 - 8 on threes. Otherwise it was an ugly night as a ball handler.

[As I See It]

45% from three every night would be nice. Shooting more free throws then the home team is nice. Shooting 50% from the free throw line is ______. But out-rebounding an opponent by 10 is also nice.

[luckyman]

And I told folks Bled can shoot.

Hopefully they keep it up so the "spacing spacing spacing" cheerleading squad can stfu.

They made 19 threes tonight and had 20 FTAs. Thats an analytics orgasm.

[Taker597]

We have our 1st winning record in 2 years. It feels good

What people hate to admit is that Bledsoe provides better spacing than Jrue. Even if Bledsoe catch and shoot is bad

Pop open the champagne

[Taker597]

We played two bigs for 30+ minutes tonight. +10 on rebound. Really enjoyed that. We do need a vet big when we have to play big more on most nights.


Shut down the Lonzo transition lob crap. It was a cool gimmick, but teams have snuffed it out that aren't the New York Knicks.

It’s amazing what limiting turnovers and rebounding will do. Now hit your free throws and it’s a blowout. Hopefully Hayes or Melli steps up this year. Well need one of them to give us good minutes. Adams was awesome a definite upgrade over Favors so far and Bledsoe was solid. I won’t say as good as Jrue but not a big drop off either.

We can kick the tire on Dedmon.

BI wont get the recognition he deserves for opening night. All because that crazy bank-shot-step-back 3 point game winner Tatum made in that awesome Milwaukee/Boston game.

But BI truly had the best opening night of any SF all things considered. Better than PG too.

[BIG_CITY_BOI]

The Pels have a lot to clean up but that was a great TEAM win.

I guess they want Eric to be the 1 and Lonzo to be the 2.

What can say is that he's keep getting better. Once he gets the bulk to really start playing all world defense. He'll be a top 5 SF in recognition.. He's showing flashes of a much less robotic kawhi, but not as physically imposing.

[JJackisangry]

I love that Stan was willing to dump his inside out philosophy after half time when Toronto has the nerve to try and disrespect us with the zone Just got our shooters into the game and made it rain from 3

I love that we didn’t force it to Zion when they were game planning hard for him.

I love that BI killed it after that horrible first half. I love it how he just shot in their faces after they tried to stall us with that zone in the 2nd quarter

Glorious first game from Stan. Not pretty, but glorious all the same. A real coach gets his guys to defend. A real coach makes adjustments when needed. He easily could have played into Toronto’s hands and kept us driving into the paint but we took advantage of the disrespect they gave us at the 3 point line. We didn’t play into the media’s hands and shy away

I'd also add to the Kawhi comparison - probably less clutch of a shooter than Kawhi but also is much more likely to have a 10+ assist game

His game is just silky smooth when he's vibing right.

Mac tweeting that he thinks Zion has lost some of his love for the game
