Playing with line ups... TLDR: rest Curry/Klay/Green half the game, pair Wiseman+Green, pair Kuminga+Looney, always have three 3pt shooters, always have 2 of the top 6 guys in, play Moody and Kuminga more.

Would it be safe to say that the Kings will give good teams a run for their money this season?

Paul George has 28 points so far. Fox has 23 points for the Kings.

I'd like to see wiseman play next to green with the starters and kuminga spell wiggins as the point of attack defender, Donte got cooked by bones last night, kumingas size and quickness probably would have done better.

When klays minute restriction is up hell be in the 2nd unit with poole,I'm guessing kerr will give donte the minutes over moody to start the year but hopefully moody n kuminga end up with more minutes then jmg n donte by the end of the year

Gotta give it up to the Celtics. Even with the Udoka drama they’ve come out focused this year. On a mission. Theyre going to win a lot of games

Didn't the Nuggets play last night? No wonder they aren't looking so good against the Thunder right now.

OT My cat Dill came home from the vet's today. He spent a couple of weeks there so they could change the wrappings on his legs every 3 or 4 days. He is doing well & healing more quickly than the vet expected. He was on my lap, purring softly most of the afternoon.

I was looking at the schedule:

We are front-loaded on road games this year ... by Jan. 20th (roughly first 3 months of the season) we have 24 road games. And 5 of the remaining 17 games are in one road trip in mid March (which isn't terrible on travel ... Clippers, then out to Atlanta and then three Central TZ games).

It's somewhat unfortunate, in that we are going to be on the road a lot when we are trying to figure out how best to integrate the youngsters into the rotation.

On the other hand, if we're about .500 by Jan. 20th, we'll be well-positioned for a late season run.

At this point, I'm hoping we're at .500 after this first long road trip (end of which would be the tenth game of the season).

One oddity I noticed is that three of our games with Sac come in the first four weeks. So, sorry Mike B.! We need those games.

Eesh, 76ers fall to 0-3. Hashtag free Embiid!

Joel for Draymond straight up: who says no? I mean besides the 76ers. Other than them, who says no???

I'm looking at the big picture: we need 50+ victories to get into one of the first 3 spots

Get them ASAP
