Atlanta Hawks — public play — goes down in flames. Vegas called, this was your weird game of the day. The Hornets starters are better than we think (Especially PJ Washington) then Brandon Miller off the bench can really hoop. The Hawks are similar to the Timberwolves in the sense that they can’t get out of their own way.
THE INDIANA PACERS ARE HERE.
The Houston Rockets are not a playoff team. Simple as that.
Understandably, it seems that the Magic are trying to put the best possible team on the floor — not focusing on the development of Jett Howard and Anthony Black this early in the season. It will be noted when they play relevant minutes.
The Brooklyn Nets are a fascinating basketball team. Cam Johnson minutes restriction. Cam Thomas balls out. Nic Claxton DPOY? What a trek back from where Brooklyn was down big… crazy that Cavs +4.5 was available late in that game. STREAKY NETS.
Boston’s depth is going to give them issues. They got a lead multiple times in this game, come fourth quarter the game was still frequently tied.
The Knicks will be great at home. The Garden can get active quick especially with all these three point shooters.
Pistons fans have high expectations.
The Heat are likely going to sleepwalk through the regular season. Do they get up for Boston on Friday?
Good vibes in Toronto. Pascal hit some SHOTS today.
This is playoff time for the Memphis Grizzlies. It’s going to be an uphill battle every night on the offensive end until Ja Morant is playing. Grizzly game UNDERS will be profitable.
New Orleans was the one seed for some time last year, I will respect them while healthy… but disaster seems inevitable.
The Clippers are REALLY GOOD. Aside from the Denver bubble collapse it’s always been the injuries that held them back. No Terrance Mann and this one still got ugly early.
The Kings aren’t slowing down. They got better over the summer. Is Vegas treating them as a Top 10 team in this league?
The Blazers aren’t a playoff team. How often will Anfernee/Shaedon/AND Scoot have a great night??
This is a new Dallas Mavericks team. Grant Williams and Derek Lively are main reasons for that. Kyrie and Luka CLOSED — get used to it. Dallas is the gamer team in the West and I’m here for it.
The Spurs will make the play-in if a team flames out (seems to always happen). Making this a national TV game tonight was a huge success. Competitive Spurs team.
Cason Wallace and Isaiah Joe show up from the start. Taking note. SGA All-NBA first team. OKC great offensive team.
I may be too high on the Bulls — Maybe the defense doesn’t even have a chance to show up against a team like OKC.
