    Hart and Kuz just deliver when it matters IMO. Let them play.

    It's been only 3 games and we were all in it to win it, despite the team's overall shortcomings.

    Precisely, it's not like we were playing garbage teams either.

    A blowout victory for our first win? I’ll take it. And we kept a team under 115 points.

    Point totals for us are always going to be inflated because we're playing at a historically fast pace.

    Right now the only team playing at a higher pace than us (107+) is Atlanta (109). Keep in mind that the fastest pace last year was 101.6 from the Pelicans. New Orleans last year gave up 110.4 points per game with that pace and a middle of the pack DRtg (~107). Right now we're giving up 127 points or something crazy and our Drtg is in the bottom 10 at 115.2 total.

    I'd say we'll balance out a bit as the season progresses, but we're going to be giving up a lot of points every night anyway. I'd be shocked if we didn't give up well over 100 points a game.

    The GS-Washington score at halftime was 80-71. Insane, dude. And, yes, agreed with you said...

    Great to have a blowout win on the road! If only every team were as bad as the Suns. Very encouraging to get that first win in decisive fashion.

    We're in the wrong conference if we want blowouts due to bad teams.
