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

Will history be made early in the 2nd game?

The fact that Dort resorted to a cheap shot to remove Memphis' best player from that game only reinforces those points.

Yes, but you and I both know what Dort does on the court. Even if you don't presume intent on his part, it was a completely reckless play.

I’m hoping GG Jackson “slips” into one of Chet’s little toothpick legs on Saturday to even the score at least.

OKC is a beautiful thing.

They even do commercials together.

That's a team gentleman.

I remember a couple years ago everyone was saying Ja Morant would assuredly get hurt being a little guy flying through the air going for NBA Jam dunks. It's really a shame that happened. You have to think Memphis holds on if he doesn't get hurt and then it's 2-1 and Memphis has some momentum to possibly tie the series at home.

On OKC's side, SGA was kind of bad down the stretch. Holmgren was hot and Caruso is incredible on defense. He steals everything somehow.

SGA has been absolutely playing like ass. I'll call a spade a spade there. After how well he played last year in the playoffs I am not worried though.

Caruso is incredible when he's turned up on the defensive end and OKC has essentially 4 of those type of guys. Caruso, Dort, Wallace and SGA. Then there is Joe and he is also a plus defender now. SGA was like 8th or 9th I believe in defensive player of the year voting this year. The anti-Jokic. The anti-Harden.

Don't you think they should go back to these?

[Pepe Silvia]

OKC will make it to the WCF, my prediction.

Of course. They still do occasionally but not enough:

40 year old LeBron has still got it.

Hayes is -13 in 9 minutes in this game, he’s got no business being out there at all. How far into this series is Redick gonna let this go on?
