Summary

The Oklahoma City Thunder are our most intriguing team in the early going, as we focus on the role of Chet Holmgren on both ends. Denver’s revamped second unit looks great so far as their juggernaut rolls on early this year. The Detroit Pistons are using a Cade and defense formula to get off to a 2-1 start. Was it possible that nobody would win the Bulls/Raptors game on Friday? Utah managed to beat the Clippers’ 5-out group on Friday, but the Clips have the league’s best net rating and the Jazz one of the worst thru 3 games. Golden State won 2-straight road games. While Houston’s defense looks more competent, we’re still waiting on their young stars.

And so we're just going to talk about some of our observations on these teams.

0:34.3

Maybe not quite as like, just straight up game focus breakdown,

0:38.8

but more just what we're able to take away for some of these teams

0:42.2

from the games we watched over the weekend.

0:45.6

Where should we begin, Danny?

0:47.0

I think we're going to begin in Oklahoma City because you and I separately and together watch parts of

0:51.9

I think two different contests of theirs.

And the one that I focused on was their game against the Cleveland Cavaliers,

which was a fun, weird one.
