Who's the bigger surprise in that group - Philly or Chicago?

probably Chicago given the teams it faced expected better but honestly Philly seems more sustainable given how strong the backcourt duo of Maxey+Edgecombe look and they have not really needed Embiid yet.

Will likely get a better idea of Chicago when they face the Knicks in a back to back on Friday + Sunday

Magic have now lost 4 in a row. Pistons go 3-2 in their tough 5 game stretch to start the season, but now it'll get a bit easier

to be fair to Giddey I feel like he has been putting prime Westbrook numbers since the Bulls traded LaVine

crazy good though

Mexico City game was great close the whole way until Pistons pulled away in the final 2-3 minutes. Also nice to finally beat the Mavs I feel like they've had our number a lot recently.

career game for Duren and Cade wasn't bad either

Duren 33 points 11 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 block

Cade 21 points, 6 rebounds, 18 assists, 3 steals

something seems different about them this year, can't put my finger on it

yet all azuarc of all sorts are more or less capricious and unreliable - they live in the varying outer weather, and they inhale its fickleness

Not trying to spin it as a good loss, since perimeter defense (or lack thereof) was part of the problem, but in today's NBA, sometimes you're just gonna have nights when you shoot 10/41 from three and your opponent shoots 19/33.

The Spurs had been shooting decently, the Suns dared them to do it again by sending all of their attention at Wemby, and they couldn't. We knew that was going to be a weakness this year.

So the NBC NBA Tuesday games are a double header, but for now its almost always one game on NBC and one on Peacock. Tonight 80% of the country gets to watch the Hawks-Magic on NBC and then the rest get to watch Thunder-Clippers.

This seems annoying for people who will want to watch the actual good teams play this year!

Well, as far as tonight goes, the Clippers suck, and ORL/ATL should 100% be the more entertaining game.

Apparently the Magic starters are +15 per 100 possessions but because the rotations are a complete travesty, we can't actually win games

They probably need to hire Mosley the equivalent of an offensive coordinator or something
