Nice to see Hoiberg using E'Twaun Moore out there.  Always liked the guy, glad he's managed to carve out a decent career for himself.

The Pistons look pretty decent, but very dull.  I think they'll probably be a boring 38 win team.

Pistons are dead to me after moving Knight and losing Monroe.  Only two guys I enjoyed watching for them.  Drummond doesn't really do it for me.

I like Reggie, and I have high hopes for Stanley Johnson.

Drummond is awful when he's trying to post up like Dwight, but otherwise he's fine.

Marcus Morris has looked pretty good playing next to Drummond in the frontcourt.  Much more along the lines of an ideal pairing for him.

I also like Ilyasova.


They've got a decent bunch of guys, it's just that none of them is really anything close to a "must watch."

Hawks ball movement has not been in evidence yet.  Think they might take some time to get back into form.

I can see the Pistons either making the playoffs or be in the lottery this year.

lol this has to be sarcasm?

They have talent, the question is can they put it together?

Actually I'll amend my answer, I like watching Ilyasova when he's healthy and playing well but that's barely happened over the last couple seasons.

Jackson is...something.  He can definitely try to make a lot of plays a game, which isn't true of many guys.  Have to see how he shakes out on efficiency.  Know nothing about Johnson outside of watching 2-3 Arizona games but he seems popular around here.


...you're not missing much in Cavs-Bulls, both teams are pretty lackluster so far.  Feeling it out.

Love the hustle from Rose despite shooting his poor shooting.

This Bulls team is much more fun to watch than Thibs' grind-it-out team.

Tristan Thompson is already showing that contract was a huge mistake.
He's looking a little out of shape to me.

lbj has enjoyed great health over the years even though he has trucked through many people, I wonder how long he can go with all those miles and football type playing.

He has great court vision and doesn't play very high in the air these days.  I think he'll wear down some but if he was prone to major injuries he'd've had them already.  I think his game will age well.

D Rose  :-\  Not even a big fan, but a guy with that talent deserves better.

He also has had deep playoff runs in every year of his NBA career, more miles for his age.
