DeAndre Ayton on matchup against Joel Embiid: I think I played well and I think there is still a lot of room left for me to grow. I know a lot of people are making a big deal out of the 40 or 41 that I put up but winning would have been way more exciting for me. I know Joe [Joel] says a lot of stuff and I know he has to do has thing on twitter, but I also know that he has his eyes on me. He told me during the game.

Jamal Crawford on Timberwolves: There were a lot of things going on there an was truly an unpleasant year for me behind the scenes. It put a real strain on me and is a big reason that I chose to call it to an end. Wig [Andrew Wiggins] is a really quiet guy but him and Jimmy [Butler] would really get into about when Wig should gets shots and butler would get on him about defensive effort.

Is Derrick favors' struggles cause for concern? It's only been 7 games but in that short time, the Nets big splash of signing Derrick favors to a lucrative contract over the summer is not looking so great early. Favors is averaging only 10.6 ppg & 8.1 rpg and is 'not looking aggressive enough' according to coach Atkinson. Favors is shooting 63% from the field but he is failing to establish himself as an offensive option and the Nets have amassed only 2 wins thus far but it is worth mentioning that one of those was over the Celtics in Boston.
Is John Paxson or Hoiberg next? With rumors swirling and Bulls owner Jerry Reinsdorf emphatically stating that Paxson 'isn't going anywhere' that isn't stopping insiders from the belief that John Paxson will be ousted from the Bulls in the next few days. The other man on the hot seat or possibly in tandem is head coach Fred Hoiberg who was said to be pretty vocal about the firing of Gar Forman.

It's all smiles in Cleveland as they stand at 7-0: The Cavs had one of the strongest off-seasons in recent history, adding Kawhi Leonard to accompany one of if not the greatest player to ever play the game in Lebron James and that has lead to wins. And big wins. They stand as the lone remaining undefeated team in the league and they already have convincing wins over the Sixers, Raptors and a 45 beat down over the champion Houston Rockets.
