be a very good player. GSW got a good one, despite still fumbling the end of the Steph era.

Fun night of ball last night, despite the Bulls getting routed. Is Josh Giddey ok? The Raptors play like their namesake and he couldn't keep up.

I think I'm straight up a Timberwolves fan now. I was dubious of the whole Lamelo thing; it still might end in disaster but damn did they look great last night. Love the OKC/SAS rivarly as well. This should be a great season.

Gives off the vibe of a guy who doesn’t realize that he’s not the big dog anymore like he was in college. You gotta know your place a bit in a situation like this.

When something is happening, young people like to say it’s “lit.”

Gotta be honest... I disagree here. I love the vibe... stake your claim...

I just can’t imagine that a locker room with Steph Curry, Draymond Green, and Al Horford reacted well to any of this.

“His only bucket on me was a banker from half court,” Lendeborg said. “I know it’s a team sport. He had 28 on us as a team. Me, I took my matchup personally.“

I would appreciate the feistiness between the lines, but whining to the media about one of the best players in the league being a flopper after your first NBA game…I don’t know, it just doesn’t seem right to me when combined with his prior reputation in college about not being an easy guy to coach or deal with.
