Rox O looking like it needs some seasoning still but it's early.

As I type KD transition bucket.

Still, OKC is a well oiled plug and play two way machine.

If Chet played like this OKC would have swept IND in the finals last year

Rockets offense looks pretty bad so far

this is the crispiest 4k basketball feed I've ever seen. NBC putting ABC/ESPN to shame.

NBC is awesome so far. Feels weird hearing Mike Tirico call an NBA game.

Even though it’s sloppy, the Rockets are consistently getting second chances while OKC so far is one and done.

Yeah it looks super sharp and the crowd noise is great. Feels almost like being at the game.

Amen 3 has a lot of down to bring it up to release movement. Needs to eventually be less busy.

Chet has quickly become one of my favorite players in the league. Bro's skillset is through the roof

Maybe Holmgren will shoot 100% the whole season.

I wish I had atmos speakers installed since I saw that they are mixing it for atmos too.

adams and sengun can't keep up with okc's speed.

Amen is getting wasted playing zone defensively

Good point. Feels like OKC is running away with it then you look at the score and Rox are finding windows of opportunity to keep scoring. Close game.

Facts. ESPN/TNT streams are garbage in comparison. Feels like NBC was made for this

tirico/crawford/miller already have a rhythm going.

rockets will have to get a pg at some point this year.

That’s exactly what this looks like so far. Amen is being forced into a role right now. I think Sheppard is the long term solution if he keeps his defensive impact positive. They needed FVV though.

Smith jr gonna have to go grab a seat.

Chet morphing into KD-lite

Also NBC is so much better than TNT/ESPN and I have no doubt Amazon will be too. Huge win for the league.

Sengun vs Holmgren is the key matchup tonight. I have a feeling Holmgren might tired battle Sengun’s low post game by the 4th.

Who wins the big opening night games?
