Perimeter defense needs to improve though... man way too many 3s being given up the first five games it's ridiculous. Combination of bad luck and bad perimeter defense..

How can someone as good as Miller was at basketball have such a lack of knowledge about the game?
You can tell he doesn't do his homework. If you don't you better at least be interesting and he really isn't.  Just states the obvious.

Anyone crazy enough to think Brown would start the year this good? He looks legit.

Are there 5 players better then Irving?

I got him right there with Westbrook as the fourth and fifth best in the league. Sorry Anthony Davis.

He is not Steph Curry level but he is the next best shot making guard in the NBA.

There are people I just don't like that call games and stuff, and I get it's taste, but man, he is just awful through and through.

I put on Grande and Max.

If Love, KI, JR Smith, Shump are all hitting from 3, the Cavs are really tough to defend.  Who do you help out on?  much less lebron....

He is 100% the real deal.  The Celtics have not had a player like him in a while.

I need to see Jaylen drive to the hoop tonight. I don't think I've seen it yet. He's caught the ball at the top of the key a number of times and he just stands there, holding the ball, looking around. He needs to take these guys to the hole. Especially when it's Love (who can't keep up) or Jefferson (who's too old to keep up). I want to see Jaylen Brown rip someone's head off!

Yes, there are like 15 guys better than him, at least. He's an amazing scorer, but he's one of the worst defenders in the league.

I understand being down two starters, but you can't let the Cavs beat you backdoor with an ancient Richard Jefferson

Nah.  I am the guy who calls players out who don't play defense, if you've seen me on here you know, but he is so good on offense that you get past it.  Best offense beats that defense.  Curry is the same way. 

I know some people think Curry is good on defense, I think they're crazy and he's the same.  Both are very much right at the top of the league.  LeBron still the best though, because yes he does play defense.

Lilliard is maybe 15 or just above. Irving is better.
