Just your average 30 point opening night win that got down to a single point in the third.

Great Opening Night win.

This definitely feels different and The Crowd can feel it too.

I am telling everyone. 47 wins and the 6th seed.

My rookie is better than your rookie! My sophomore is better than yours! My 3rd year player is better…. You know the drill!

all right, a 30-point win to open the season, not bad.

And that's with our starters not playing particularly well.

It can be easy to get points in garbage time, but Black managed to make a statement in garbage time

It was bugging me all night but I finally figured out who this bald, old Jeff Green looks like when the camera isn't focused on him. Joel Anthony, that scrub big man from years ago who had his best years with Miami.
11/18/2017 - I have officially disowned Nikola Vucevic and branded him a loser.

- Skal Labissiere was my guy in 2016 pre-trade. Whoops, but I still believe.
- Malik Monk was my guy in 2017. Whoops(?)
- Mo Bamba was my guy in 2018. TBD.

Definitely wasn’t expecting largest opening night win in franchise history. I saw pretty much everything I wanted to see tonight and more.

Now the hard part is going to be on: West Coast trip.

If we come out with many wins, that could easily define our season even this early

So if the identity of the team is tough and defensive minded the pieces look better don't they?

Also held the rockets to under 90 points.

Banchero with 6 fgas and 7 ftas. Insane.

Cole scoring 20 off the bench on 12 fgas is elite.

What Suggs did tonight can’t be seen in the boxscore.

Isaac’s return was an absolute triumph.

I like this team. We’ll make any team fight for a win.

Couldn't have been better tonight. Extremely good season start. Promising season ahead.

Now it's important to see how coach Mosley manages rotations since all are in shape and playing good. And most importantly, Mosley needs to keep them grounded, motivated and hungry after such a performance. No letdowns are permitted.
