Not sure how much Jeff will be playing with LeBron at least at the start, so he may have the chance to make some plays. Right, since they're both SFs on paper, they won't be playing too much together. It is a smart move by the Cavs though, Jeff is a SF in a similar mold of Bron (selfless, good passer, athleticism to make plays) so he should be a good fill-in for those 0-20 minutes Bron sits (depending on the time of year).

Otto with 8 in the first quarter of the season. The start of a great season!

Otto only scored 2 points for the rest of the game?! He scored the first 8 points of the game and had 10 early. Was 5/6 in the first quarter and they stopped going to him. Almost felt like he was being slowly frozen out of the offense and lost his rhythm. Still played really well defensively.

Almost felt like he was being slowly frozen out of the offense and lost his rhythm. Still played really well defensively. He had two deflections that caused turnovers and broke up the last two possessions for the 76ers when it was a a one possession game. He pretty much single-handedly saved a game that almost got away from the Wizards.

Any news on LJ? It does not look like he is playing in the G League at the moment.

That Wizards games was entertaining. As Cambridge said, two plays by Otto late, a deflection and a save of a ball headed out of bounds, proved to be crucial in staving off the 'Sixers. The 'Sixers look as if they are going to be exciting to watch.

28 and 9 for Otto.
On a separate note: This may seem obvious to some, but who do you all think has had the better career. Roy or Greg? Greg has put up better numbers overall, but Roy was selected to two all star games and had some postseason success too.

The 'Sixers look as if they are going to be exciting to watch. The 'Sixers definitely are an exiting team to watch, well coached and some serious young talent. everyone's saying that the Celtics future is so bright but the Sixers may have the brightest future of any organization in the NBA and as a Wizards fan it's a little frustrating...

I agree - it's also hard to compare Porter's current body of work with Roy Hibbert's full career (assuming he doesn't play on an NBA roster again). In the end, it's hard for me to envision Porter NOT surpassing Hibbert, certainly in the form of being a solid contributor for a longer period of time. Historically, big men have tended to last longer too, but Hibbert's decline came quickly, plus he's hurt be the game's evolving away from the taller, more plodding big men who work mostly in the post.

It looks as if Otto is earning his keep!

15-6-3 for Otto so far tonight. He has been excellent for the Wizards so far this season.

Otto finishes with : 17 pts 10 rebounds 4 steals 3 assists. Last year he finished 6th in wins and 7th in real plus minus for all SFs in the NBA. Where does he finish this year? Elite start, looking forward to catching his game vs Golden State in person on Friday.

Otto is looking great. He's gotten better every single year he's been in the league, and looks like he's going to take another leap, which would put him in the top tier of forwards in the league.
