Gallinari getting injured was the best thing to happen to hauser. Making the most of those minutes.

Blessing in disguise & as excited as I was to get Gallo, I’d have Hauser ahead of him for the fact he’s ice from downtown & can defend.

The 3 ball dagger off the bench we’ve been looking for, for 5-6 years!

I know right.

To put that what he brings to what we have is the reason why we are number 1 in offence.

Dyson Daniels stuffing Lavine at the rim... be still, my semi-patriotic heart.


Cavs honeymoon period is definitely over. nahnah

Eh, they've had some tough losses that could've gone either way, player availability problems like a lot of teams.

Think they'll be fine.
 
Agreed. Bulls have been dogshit & do t think they can play the injury card….who they missing?? Lonzo & White? They’re not changing them too much. Defense is the problem…
Lonzo was huge for them before going down injured last year, he is a massive loss.

6-9 isn’t good but it’s also not far off where I expected them to be, they are about a .500 team

After their hot start I’d be concerned, I can understand 2-3 losses but 5 and yes I know some could’ve gone either way but those ones are the ones that shape up your season.

Looking like it’s between the bucks and Celtics for the east.

But lonzo ain’t no all star that alone can turn 4-5 of those losses to wins.

Like they said defence is their issue.

Not an all star but he is the only actual point guard they have and is the best 3 point shooter in the team. He is also a very good defender himself. They are a few games under .500, do people expect better from them?

I’m not surprised myself tbh, I think most people are going off of last season when they started 35-10 or something like that they dropped off second half.

I think they’re an above .500 team when fully healthy but nothing special maybe 4th or 5th at best.
 
The league is pretty tight so far as well, don’t think most have paid attention to the conference standings.

From 3rd to 12th in the east it’s within 3 games

From 1st to 12th in the west it’s within 4 games.

I think it’s a little early to start calling for coaches jobs right now but another 15 games go by and the league will be a clearer picture.

I think most people would have Milwaukee and Boston 1-2, but it's November and not really a time to be calling anything.

What's kinda gone unspoken is that there's actual a relative degree of parity in the league, a lot of teams have talent and playoff aspirations. Even some of the underdogs are punching above their weight. It doesn't take much, only an injury or two or a shooting slump, to put a team in a mini-slump.

Cleveland have shown enough that they'll be up there in the East, all things being equal. I mean they beat you guys, twice.

So we have seen so far this season at least two teams (Bucks and Mavs) sustain embarrassing losses by load management/resting their best player.

Although granted, both Luka and Giannis both played in internationally in the off season so the logic makes some sense.

Celtics will probably do it with Tatum at some point, but we have a good/deep bench and rotations.
