How did we get clutch KD?

SGA would have a pretty ugly stat line without those FTs

Fitting that Sengun is a Rocket. His entire game revolves around gaming the refs and flailing from contact he initiates. He truly is the successor to Harden.

Jimmy with 7 FTs in 9 min. Glad dude is in the west

Why’d they foul?

He is a hideous watch.

KD should know better than to get pump faked into a foul. Just stand there and raise your hand.

Hell of an opening game. With the Brewers out and my disillusion of football, happy to have roundball (rock) back.

Shame that the game ended with free throws, but it was an obvious call. Fun game otherwise.

Obviously got baited into the foul at the end, but I didn't think Durant was capable of staying in front of someone like SGA anymore. Was great defense until the unfortunate foul.

I figured I’d see Sengun slander here.

39/11/7 but somehow his selfishness and plodding nature cost the Rockets the game

Marcus Smart as insufferable as always lol

The flailing and complaining to refs is super annoying but man he is extremely skilled.

Smart is still an ahole

Just turned on the Lakers game and Smart is immediately trying to Kelly Olynyk Steph's shoulder, **** this guy lmao

Just tried to dislocate his shoulder <shrugs>, no big deal.

I didn't realize they're using an AI version of Jim Fagan's voice as the announcer for NBA on NBC. The family apparently approved it, but it was a surprise for me. It's cool that his voice is a part of the experience of having the NBA back on NBC, though.

Am I missing another conflict?

No. I'm more about a shorter season starting on Xmas day (never happen). It's hard to hold casual fans attention for 6 months and then another 2 months of playoffs.

I think the only snow-ball's chance in hell the season shortens is if the NBA expands to Europe and the players only ok it by dropping down to 65 games.

I dont even think you need to shorten the season. Just start it on christmas and let it go through july, which is usually a big time dead period in sports unless your baseball team is good.

Ayton looks like R. Kelly and at this point he plays basketball about as good as him too.
