Its great to finally have an NBA games that is free to watch. Its great to have the NBA back on NBC. Its great to have the original NBA on NBC theme song, like the good old 80s and 90s era. What an awesome opening night this has been after what it seems like a very long off season. Welcome back NBA basketball!

Noticed Shaq and his 7 teams played for by a HOF'er didn't make that list they showed. Wonder why?

Sengun is Jokic

Unreal shooting performance from Senun.

Rockets offense not looking good

I really don't like Sheppard. Selfish, can't read the floor well (missed Sengun on a wide open 3), and possibly the worst defender in the league

the defense, outside of Reed, looks elite though

There's something for me about a guy coming in to stand in the way and take a charge after a guy has already planted his first foot to take off, it just does not seem to me like the logic of why the charge rule exists.

Probably because he only played for 6 teams

Yet they are still leading?

Sengun is straight up a guard in this Houston offense.

My boy Alpie's summer workouts looking to pay off

Sengun a dark horse MVP candidate?

They're leading by locking up OKC and dominating the boards.

I was literally going to make a comment about this, but didn't wanna make a long-winded post in the game thread lol. I feel they need to be illegal because there's way too many ways people can get injured

SGA 5-12 for 11 points, 1 rebound and 3 assists

OKC bricking so many open shots throughout this game with their good shooters and SGA hasn't shot well on good looks either. Rockets up with Sengun doing an unsustainable Jokic impression. Play this game 10 times straight and OKC wins 9/10 if this is how Houston is going to play

Don’t think Reed Sheppard is going to be playing in the playoffs in meaningful minutes. Maybe he just looks bad against OKC but he was bad last year too , even though we were told he was good.

Who wins the big opening night games?
