I just wish it wouldn't have taken so much effort, even with them not having Amin Thompson.
It does not.
And I would tell you right now, the number one thing that I'm looking at is exactly what you just laid out.
Number one, that connection with Donovan Mitchell and James Harden being able to have that two man game, but particularly as well,
jared allen yeah this is what we talked about is can james harden activate jared allen and that two-man game that he had so beautifully ran in la with evita zubats and we see jared allen finished this game with 29 points four assists coming from james harden to jared i like already what i'm seeing evan mobley's not out there so that allows jared allen to cook inside and he's a great screenshot setter and roller we know that
And when you've got someone like James Harden that attracts attention, you saw Sacramento drawing a little bit too much to James Harden, overcommitting sometimes to James Harden, which allowed Jared Allen to get open.
So I'm liking what I'm seeing so far.
Yes, it did take a little bit of extra effort.
A little bit more scoring out of the Sacramento Kings side than typical.
But this is a really great start to me for the Cavs just to be able to get the three of those players, Donovan, James, and Jarrett going early.
That's the goal.
That's an ethical tank.
I'm happy that you mentioned, though, they fumbled the game away because let's be real.
Yes, the egregious expert level tanking happened.
But when you've got 24 turnovers allowing for 39 points off those turnovers, whether you're being expert or not in the tanking, that is a problem.
Like they Utah looked amazing.
discombobulated as much as they were scoring bucket for bucket for bucket there was a lot of easy turnovers uh particularly in the first part of that game so that in itself is something that needs to be figured out but one thing i love right now about the jazz is this new nickname i don't know if you've heard this just yet the utah jazz mountain range
That's come about.
