It was a rough offseason but we made it and now the time is upon us. Here's to a enjoyable and fun season, with a top-3 draft pick at the end of it.

So, about the tank... loving the high post playmaking in this offense. Nurkic is absolutely more impactful than Sexton and it is clear he is exactly the mentor Walker needs. What a fun game to watch so far.

I'm going to strain my neck with all the double takes I did that first half.

First half hot take is if Kessler keeps playing like this paying him 30 million a year would have been an underpay lol

The Clippers might just really suck this year. They seem old, slow and a miserable shooting team.

Anyone listening to the the radio stream on SEG+? I’m pretty certain that Ron boones mic is just constantly on and you can her him humming and making weird noises. It’s slightly hilarious and mainly annoying.

This is just an absolute beatdown and not the direction I expected.

Kessler looking like he will have the Zubac jump.

I sure hope so! Hendrick also looked good, Clayton looked great. Lots to be excited about tonight. If Walker, Keyonte, Henricks and Sensi all make a jump at once we might really need to move Lauri to keep our pick.

If Walker earns a $40MM AAV contract next summer I'm perfectly fine with that.

It’s been like that for years. He makes little noises and internal chuckle noises. It’s great.

So this game was unexpected. Love seeing a domination but we need that pick. We have to get that pick.

This was unexpected. The Jazz looked good. Really good. Too good. In their situation, over-competence is a hindrance. Having said that, they were really fun to watch, one of the more entertaining games I remember in the past few seasons. Love the passing from all the bigs. I thought George played really well and if he could keep playing like this he'll be a very nice player. The offense with Flip in the Olynyk role looked very good, and Kessler, other than his 2 threes, also scored 3 baskets with his left hand, which was very nice to see. I hope the Jazz won't end up regretting not locking him up.

What a great way to start the season!!!! Loved the way George played, I expected Laurie and Walker to be good, but I'm so glad to see how well Keyonte played........

Crazy that we got Kessler, George, Clayton Jr, and we still have 3 more 1st round picks (1 is a swap) from the Gobert trade.

Frankly this year I don't have the NBA league pass... Because I don't want to watch my team being kicked in the ass more than 60 times a year.
After this game I'm thinking about purchase It or not.
Big win, with some players I want to see.

I finally ordered It and watched this game. Really fun when every goes in. Let's see, but all the young dudes (but Williams) look improved.
