I was extremely tempted to bet Bulls moneyline at +220 but now Morant is out and the odds went way south, oops.

I hate it only because it has hurt the magic twice now in this young season but it’s nice to see them actually making the right calls.

Banchero going for a career high perhaps tonight. The pace of this one is wild.

I want to see the Celtics taken down a peg, but I also want to see the Bucks humiliated by like 40. Only because it would make Doc look so bad.

Either outcome is fine.

Not doubling Paolo is an interesting decision.

Michael Porter starts with his first 3 going down. Nice.

That's two Euro steps for the Cavs for buckets around KAT.

RJ Barrett starting the season off like a monster. Quick 9 points.

Something is wrong with Denver. They are playing with no focus, effort or urgency. It's like they're sleepwalking.

Murray's defense is horrendous right now.

Knicks and Cavs is a game of deflections. Both teams defending.

They don't double the other team's best player.
