The bench is going to be an issue until Coby comes back at least. Not sure where we get points.

by having Demar anchor it and letting him get a bulk of his possessions there, you can tell thats Billys plan and it allows for extended stretches of Zo/Caruso/Zach and that trio is gonna be a handful

Demar was effective tonight in ISO and thats with missing some easy ones and not getting his normal calls - he had the highest point per possession rate in the NBA last season in ISO (KD was 2nd, Zach was 3rd)

Caruso's defense was very impressive. Its not even just hustle, hes athletic and smart as hell with positioning/rotations with great hands

the most concerning thing I saw on the court was Vuces defense, it was downright terrible. Very Pau like (which overall is OK if Billy isnt afraid to sit him to close games)

I thought Zo & Demar played well. Zo's defense will be key. Demar did his ISO bucket thing ... its effective, he missed bunnies too that will fall

Pat's development will be difficult on this roster but there will be injuries here & there with chances to step up

Zach was Zach
Vucevic's defense was worse than Pau's.

It was Boozer level bad. Thibs used to bench him the entire 4th quarter in Playoff games

Glad we got the win.

It sucks that even after all the moves we made, we still have to depend on Zach hero ball.

I wasnt a fan of the Vuc last year and I feel the same. He is Balkan Boozer....yeah he can score and he will give 20/9 but he is giving it all back on the other end so it's not helpful in the grand scheme....maybe we can pawn him off somehow

DeMar missed a lot of bunnies, hopefully those will fall. Not gonna overreact yet, although dude needs to move the ball.

I really hope Zo's shot starts falling

I really fukking wished we coulda got a legit starting 4 instead of DDR bc Pat is gonna get 5 shots a night in the starting lineup. I'd rather him off bench where he can be focal point offensively

We need Coby back for bench scoring badly

Glad Billy went with ayo. He is just a gamer makes good shyt happen. Same with caruso. Them anchoring the bench with derozan can keep our bench good.

Need to see more out of green and brown jr.

The offense will come around. Actually prefer a win like this can def see the improvement on the defensive end. Last year we would have blew that game with silly turnovers and bad shots down the stretch this game we made great defensive stops forced key turnovers and didn't make silly turnovers.

On to the pelicans. I'm encouraged didn't expect us to blow Detroit out because it was their home opener and Casey is a good coach. Grant is a star.
