Early. Nice. Love this team.

KP challenges the shot successfully and Early drains a halfcourt 3 off the buzzer!!!!
GustavBahler @ 10/7/2015 8:40 PM
Grant looks great, looking forward to Porzingis and Grant developing some chemistry. When they click, look out...

I like how KP is challenging shots. It's a great sign.

Its only Bauru but they have chemistry but we look fantastic all the way down the roster. Well except Calderon

I vote for G² to be the starting backcourt. Gallo needs to be out there for his defense.

no. The starters did not look good. We were only in the game because Melo was hot. If his shot was off we were screwed. We played bad basketball and terrible defense.

While melo's shot looked good which was nice, I don't think the ball will move well when he is in there, and I don't think that Porgz will get too many looks.

Gallo's defense was incredible. The most impressive part of the half.

I like that.

gunsnewing @ 10/7/2015 8:45 PM
yea will be interesting to see if Galloway or Affalo start. Affalo might provide more instant offense as 6th man

I only saw the last six minutes of the second quarter but he was a ball hawk.

KP has improved on his activity when it comes to chasing down rebounds.

It's super early. I wouldn't put too much into the 1st minutes that group has ever played against another team. There's a long way to go before we can know how good they'll be. A group looking tight in their 1st home game isn't hard to understand. Melo is used to it.

I feel like they've looked pretty sloppy. They are playing a very forgiving opponent. They've had some major defensive lapses.

Some promising signs though.

CrushAlot @ 10/7/2015 8:49 PM
O'Quinn looked really good in the highlights.

from the first group the only things that I know is that Calderon sucks and that we will live and die with Melo's jump shot.

He was pretty good. Had some nice passes and scores. He's gonna be good.

Meh! Give it a chance! It's hard to tell with guys being a bit tight at the start. This may not end up being the starting lineup if they don't find some chemistry. I need to see a lot more before saying it won't work.

I just love the work he puts in going through screens when defending on the ball and off the ball. I really believe his shooting will come back to his college and NBADL level and he will be so above Shumpert.
