Season starts tonight with Knicks and Celtics followed by Lakers and TWolves.

Will history be made early in the 2nd game?

And Luka already sent SGA's ass home with less around him than he'll have this year in LA.

But I hope OKC keeps their heads in the sand. Keep reading those press clippings and telling yourselves that a team full of small wings plus Chet is some unstoppable juggernaut.

Y'all can be beaten. And if I had to bet OKC vs. The Field, I'd take the field. They're a very good team -- I certainly hope they're as convinced of that as you are.

Good teams lose games. News at 6.

I guess I'm pretty crazy to discount a game vs the Wolves where OKC beat them the night before IN Minnesota and handily and in the game they lose Chet sits out for rest and Hartenstein only could play half the game due to a nose injury.

Luka looks pretty gassed but he still sees the floor so well.

Not sure he's gonna hit 25 pts tonight but he'd already have 12 assists if the shotmaking was worth a damn this quarter.

Need to get the ball more to Reaves

And I’m not just saying that because in have him in fantasy

[DJ's left nut]

Now DFS can't even remember how to ****ing dribble. Just a random as travel after catching a pass.

This feels like that Hornets game. It's bad bad bad basketball.

That's absolutely what they should do. Just clear out and let him work.

Everyone else looks like balls.

[KC_Connection]

The LeBron + scrubs lineup ain’t it

LeBron looks asleep tonight

[DJ's left nut]

You know what you ****ing guys should do??

Go miss another ****ing three! Do that. Do more of that.

Jesus Christ. How do they fall into this crap. I mean these shots aren't close and they just don't care. Gonna keep firing up shit 3s that barely draw iron.

Reviewing a hostile act because LeBron loses a ball on the way up?

What are we doing here

[DJ's left nut]

You know who hasn't missed a wide-ass open corner 3 in a solid 5 minutes? Rui. We should probably get him involved in this. Let's draw up a play for him to stand in the corner and brick the shit out of an unguarded 3 ball.

[DJ's left nut]

That's what the most creative offensive mind had figured out to end the quarter, eh?

"I'll stand at the top of the key for 8 seconds and throw it to the elbow for someone to shoot a contested 3..."

James jaked the shit out of that quarter.

[KC_Connection]

I know Redick wants to stick with his rotations but LeBron has absolutely nothing in this game, probably should have recognized that and not played him with no Luka or Reaves

[DJ's left nut]

James makes a running layup, lakers get a block...miss a 3. Get an offensive board...miss a 3.

Bwillie is probably beating off to this.

"It's soooo efficient!!!!"

{fapfapfapfap}

There's no defending this.

[KC_Connection]

Refs have decided no fouls this quarter

[DJ's left nut]

I still think it's funny that folks thought the Lakers rescinded that Williams deal for buyers remorse.

Any of yall actually see Dalton Knecht play this year? If that guys giving you playoff minutes you are really really ****ed.

Getting absolutely cooked by the corpse of Klay Thompson. Oof.

[KC_Connection]

Luka should probably take the open three there instead of Rui
