With some of the sample size of one and actual data of one

Ben Goliver and I start to break down what we've seen so far in the NBA. Let's talk

Start with some of the headline games. We'll actually go back to the opening night since I know you were there for Lakers clippers but let's start

last night Philadelphia thumps Boston 10793 how surprised were you what a man handling this was?

I wasn't super surprised but I do think the game has a little bit for the optimist they had the pessimists alike you know it started a little bit uglier from Philadelphia's side

the office offense wasn't necessarily clicking I thought Boston at times had better

energy and spark but you know as it unfolded I think Philadelphia is a pretty clear talent advantage, one out.

They were able to, you know, exert their matchup advantages.

I mean, to me, I don't know how you feel about Boston, but I'm still pretty skeptical of what Boston's trying to do with this

group you know I understand that they feel like they've got their wings locked in you know

the pain jayland brown and then obviously you, build around Jason Tatum, you know,

who was decent in his opening debut,

but to me, I look at this roster.

I don't see a lot of like long-term,

really impressive pieces from them. I just think their

ceilings a lot lower than we've been accustomed to these last couple of years.

It's interesting. I actually like them a little bit and but I you know it's interesting

me that they couldn't score again tonight now maybe Philadelphia is going to be historically as good defensively as some people have projected them to be

But it's you know they were not a good offensive team last year with a fabulous point

guarding Kyrie Irving. And so for them to have another bad offensive game,

I, maybe Jason Tatum and Jaylon Brown, you know, aren't guys that make you good offensive teams yet.

Yeah, you know, you kind of wonder sometimes like you get the big contract, right?
