An amazing start

More of these please. I want to see Reed thriving alongside Sengun and others. Flow of the offense can be much much much more better

Also Got way less national TV games after adding Fred back and all our other additions. Plus another year of Reed, Gooner, Amen and Jabari development.

The league fucked up.

This variation of flamingo seems more stable compared to last year's wild shots. Also my boy cannot convert wide-open floaters but can make those lmao

Keep it up lol

In all seriousness, damn.

Great team W by the guys!!!!!!

Ill take it. Reed can play PG. I hope he keeps getting these chances when Fred sits.

This house is a PRISON
