He will be the 10th or 11th best rotation player I think. Everybody else is either an all star, a young improving thoroughbred, or Ibaka. Once I heard miles but his body fat % in half and gained an extra half step i knew green would be getting left behind. So deep, and everyone is always working its gonna be cutthroat just to get 20 min a night.

Thibs being Thibs - Wiggins and Towns with 26 and 24 minutes respectively in their opener against Golden State. Derek Rose, he of the rubber-band knees, also with 20 minutes.
The game was in Golden State, so can't even point to home fans etc.Last edited by Ebonhawke; Sat Sep 29, 2018, 10:34 PM.

JV didn't start. CJ did (!), due to OG sitting out (due to death in the family).
Despite not starting, JV was dominant. (if I recall, JV has always had his best games the couple times that he didn't start. Gets him a little pissed off and extra-motivated If I remember correctly).
Kawhi was taking it slow but looked good out there, sounds like.
Sounds great, I'll take it!
Also liked some of what I saw from Norm. It's nice to see him feeling confident.
Good start to the Kawhi-Nurse era!

Definitely want to see the Siakam three point shot come alive, only thing really holding him back at this point. I think you close with OG in at pf if Siakam can't hit a corner three consistently. Obviously haven't seen OG yet, but he proved he was not just a reliable shooter last year but also clutch, plus you don't need any playmaking from him playing alongside Lowry, FVV, Kawhi, JV. You would like to have Siakam's energy in there though.
Man that was fun, I missed basketball.

JV looked awesome in the highlights I watched.
People always talked about how DeRozan used to get better every year, but (especially from the start of last season) I feel like we are really seeing this from JV.
We also often forget (since it feels like he's been around for so long), that he just turned 26 this May, (about the same age as Delon Wright, who we always talk about as a player with great "potential"). JV is young and at this rate there is nothing to stop him from continuing to add to his game and improve across the board.
If Norm comes back it'd feel like another miracle. Our guard and wing depth is enviable.
