C's have so many players to like.  Feels like it will take a half-season for C's to be what they can be --and they're dang good right now.
agreed.  this team is really good right now and will only get better as the season progresses.  still, would be good to see some offensive chemistry develop in the second half

yeah I agree too, with so many good players having adjustments to minutes and rotations, it will take us a while to find the right mix.  i mean we could have 9 guys playing at least 20 minutes.  Brad has a fun job to get all this goodness to gel.

There is no doubt that Boston's ceiling is much high than the Raptors. I don't think Toronto wins 2 games vs Boston come playoff time

i know it is really really early but philly does not scare me nor does the choking raptors come playoff time.

can the bucks be a threat to us?  meh
All depends on Coach Budenholzer.

Don't sleep on Indiana though

All 5 starters have taken between 5 and 9 shots.  Nice balance and sharing.

Love the scoring balance on our team the first two games. Right now it's all pretty even with Kyrie and Tatum having 9, Rozier and Brown having 8, Horford and Hayward having 6, and Baynes having 5.

Bucks are my darkhorse to make noise in the playoffs. Philly is overrated and Toronto doesn’t seem as deep as I thought.

I don't usually watch the halftime show, but I gotta say Pierce's stepback jumpers were prettier than Tatum's.  Smoother and more effortless.

I reckon it'll come. Tatum is still younger than Pierce was when Pierce entered the league
