Huh. Nic Batum is on the Clippers. How did he look? Does he have anything left in the tank?

He could be an interesting player for Clippers if he does.

Watching first half, he looked decent, although he doesn't get to shoot much.  Think he ended up with 3 points on 4 shots.  Started for them. 6 rebounds and 6 assists.

If he can regain durably his mental and build a better shape, he could be a good 5th men in their starting core, facilitng, bringing IQ, defending and bringing XP. But I listen to a fench podast where he participate and he realy lost his NBA level and grit his last years, you saw in the way he was speaking. So I am not sold he will be that men, he lost a lot last 2 years

Yup. They signed him after he was waived by the Hornets so they could make room for Gordon.

I thought he looked decent enough for a guy who hasn't played meaningful, winning basketball in a long time. His facilitating should really help them out. I think he'll look better as the season goes on.

Looked good enough that he's probably start at the 4 for the C's. But that's also a pretty low bar. Still he can spot up shoot, rebound, wont get killed defensively and plays the wing so he's a fine get. I think he was more way overpaid then completely washed.

Ben Simmons still can't shoot free throws and refuses to even think about shooting from the arc. Beautiful

If people get up in arms with Marcus Smart shooting, check out Ben Simmons.

Didn't see game. Does anyone know if Terry Rozier's 42 points were from playing on ball or off? I see Graham had 10 assists so I assume Terry played off ball but assumptions like that can be bad ones. So, anyone know?

Watching the highlights, it seems like a mix of Rozier getting his shots in the flow of the offense, on the fast break, and him leading a one man charge.

Embiid looks heavy. Another season of him being out of shape.
