    I’ve seen enough we’re definitely winning the championship

  2. Krusty_Krab_Pussy

    It’s still preseason but our depth is looking pretty damn good imo

  3. Underdog_To_Wolf

    Can we just keep everyone, Mr. Silver? Please?

  4. ghost91372

    Ant, jaylen, jaden and Bryn Forbes looked amazing. Rivers and Naz not so much

  5. I’m trying not to overreact, but everyone I really wanted to see looked so damn impressive. Ant, Jaden, Nowell all looked awesome. Bench mob with Taurean Prince, J Mac and Kyle Anderson looks amazing.

  6. TommyOfTheShelbys

    Great start! Didn’t get to watch but impressed by what I’ve read. Ant’s decision making an execution seemed to be impressive. Jaden sounded impressive too and those 2 guys doing that are big W’s alone.

    Really important to remember it was only 1 game and for some a few minutes, Paschall could look great the next game for example. Great to have some depth. Prince, JMac Slow-Mo all done their bit and it went a long way. A nice headache for Finch and Connelly if Forbes, Knight etc keep doing their thing.

    WE HAVE A TEAM. Go Wolves đŸș

  7. So good to see names I recognize when our bench comes in

  8. cabinrobe1

    Jimmy didn’t play tonight because of complications resulting from braid-removal

  9. OGBouncyJ

    Forbes was a good pickup. Rivers looked questionable but it’s only one game.

  10. Nate Knight might be higher on the depth chart rn than Naz.

  11. LeftLaneKing

    Might watch the Utah game to see Vando play but only for like 5 minutes. That team is gonna be the worst in the league this year.

  12. Sugarking45

    Jaden is a sniper

    Ant is a monster

    Jmac is cp3 but better

    Knight look fantastic

    Forbes shooting looks great

    Tp is a master pickpocket

    Kyle is the captain

  13. curry_brewer

    Loved this game for all the things I DIDN’T see: overly-aggressive fouls, stupid turnovers, throwaway passes, ball-hogging, non-rookies getting flustered, rookies looking confused
 I love all the greatness this crew showed they’re capable of.

  14. longshot0555

    Only caught a portion of the 1st quarter – Jaden looked good in the limited time I saw, how did he and everyone else do for the rest of the game?

  15. Andy_Wiggins

    Based just on tonight’s rotations and play, I’d guess the rotation shakes out as follows over the course of the season:

    – Starting 5 – big minutes and clear cut starters
    – Anderson, Prince, and McLaughlin – stable 15-25 minutes
    – Nowell, Forbes, Rivers – get minutes, but they fluctuate based on hot streaks, matchups, etc.
    – Naz – gets minutes only in certain situations
    – everyone else – pretty much zero minutes
