Can't believe the NBA Season is starting tonight. Way to early but here we go.

Lakers vs Nuggets: 6:30PM

Suns vs Warriors: 9PM

Both on TNT

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander 31 pts, 10 ast, 5 rebs. 12-18 FG, 2-5 3 FT.

He is him. Get ready NBA. He's needs a nickname now. How about the surgeon. Maple Jordan is taken.

If the Thunder end up being good, they probably need to make a trade to get one more 3 pt shooter or a physical girthy big man. I think they can afford it with all of the draft picks they have.

Outside of Jokic and Giannis, there's getting to be an argument that nobody is better than SGA in the league right now.

KC_Connection · 10-26-2023, 03:12 PM

The only other guys even in contention for me for that spot are Embiid and Doncic.

staylor26 · 10-26-2023, 05:00 PM

Agreed. He's a top 5 player at worst.

**dirk digler** · 10-26-2023, 08:10 PM

Dame time

**dirk digler** · 10-26-2023, 08:13 PM

lol what a shot by Dame

KC_Connection · 10-26-2023, 08:13 PM

Yeah, the Bucks are gonna be a problem for Denver to beat.

**dirk digler** · 10-26-2023, 08:19 PM

Fun finish but Dame pulled it out. 39 pts is a pretty good start

smithandrew051 · 10-26-2023, 08:24 PM

Good game by Kelly Oubre

**dirk digler** · 10-26-2023, 08:31 PM

KD kinda looks old

Porzingis looked great for them.

Not many dudes on the planet have that combination of size and shooting.

Can't trust their leaders in the biggest of games.

The reality for the Lakers is they need LeBron to play 36-38 MPG to win games. They aren't good enough to win with him only going 28-30 MPG.

It's absurd to say this about a guy in his 21st season, but LeBron is the biggest outlier in NBA history.
— Barry (@BarryOnHere) October 27, 2023

If LeBron is playing only 30 minutes a game this year as has been suggested, I'm not convinced this Lakers team will even go above .500. They still fall off a cliff every time he's off the floor and it's continued in both games so far.

**dirk digler** · 10-26-2023, 08:48 PM

Lebron is going to have to score a lot if these role players aren’t going to step up
