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

Will history be made early in the 2nd game?

I'm OK with Ja's hand gestures. I'm not OK with players who run up into the stands to punch fans, or put opponents into a choke-hold.

Dude has a chance to be on the All-Rookie team this year even as a 2nd rounder.

This ****ing bench, man...

4/17 from the floor. 1/10 from three.

They're just impossibly erratic. LA can't get through the 2nd round with this shit and may not survive the 1st.

Can you guys just try being decent for a few games in a row? Not great and not dogshit - just somewhat predictably mediocre.

Meanwhile the Mavs bench is 13/22.

That's the only reason this isn't a 20 point game. The Mavs bench is playing good basketball and the Lakers bench is...being the Lakers bench.

It's just brutal.

LeBron. Still incredibly athletic

Here's an amazing stat.

Do you know how many All-star, all-NBA and/or all-defensive team teammates Jokic has played with in his NBA career?

Zero.

Not a single one.

Jokic hasn't had a single teammate make an All-Star, all-nba or all-defense team playing alongside him in 10 years in the league.

Jesus, Denver - how? How can you have struggled that badly to find him help?

Luka has his revenge.

There’s a pretty good argument Christian Braun has been the 2nd best player on that Denver team this year. Says a bit.

45 for Luka.

13 for Anthony Davis.

This won’t go over well.

Feels like the next decade won’t go over well for one of these orgs

Apparently Mavericks are slated to lose easily in the 9 figures of worth over these next few seasons. May even cross a billion.

I love it. The Adelson family are the scum of the earth. Patrick Dumont’s only talent is marrying into that family. He’s basically the character from the movie Casino that Deniro ends up firing for being too stupid to do the job even though he’s juiced in.

The pre-game and post-game made ME feel awful for Dallas fans.

I just can't. I can't fathom that kind of gut punch.

Would it be like trading Mahomes had he lost the first 49ers Super Bowl? And he so clearly loved it there.

It's just an all-time miscalculation.

Walk it off Barnes, always a good day when the Warriors lose.

It would have to be. A generational talent of that caliber has never been traded in his prime like that in any sport.

Nico clearly just didn’t like the guy and used that dislike to justify moving him. Still took an out-of-touch idiot owner who actually listened to him too though.
