Deandre Ayton is the Michael Jordan of the Willy Hernangomezs

Wolves were lucky to come back and beat Portland and now this game against the Lakers. Not a good start to the season for them, Houston nor Dallas IMO. Gonna have to wait until games 10-15, but this isn't the season in the West to come out with low intensity.

The officiating in this Suns/Clippers game is abhorrently bad.

You got to be happy for Portland fans rn after a torrid couple of days. Feel like this team definitely could vie for the play in at least with some luck.

James Harden 30 points, 8-10 field goaling, 5-5 downtowners, 6 rebounds, 6 assists, 25 minutes

Luka Doncic: 23/26 from inside the 3pt line in two games. That is INSANE.

Boy there isn’t a single night off out West, i can tell you that much. The Jazz were riding high after knocking the Clippers around Wednesday night but it was good to see the Kings fight tonight with Sabonis back in the lineup and clearly rusty as heck. Light the Beam!

They are going to build on last season. No pushovers in Moda Center anymore.

Even Ant Edwards said that last night.

If this team stays fairly healthy, they're gonna be a tough out. They defend like hell and Splitter was specifically brought in to help Billups with the offense, so him being HC now is not a downgrade in the slightest.

I'm just glad Simons is gone. Can't wait for guy Scoot to come back.

I am convinced Simons won't be a Celtic after the trade deadline. Very limited player.

Will be interesting what he brings back in a trade again if they can move him.

But even at this age, this team run by Jrue looks a billion times better than they did with Simons at any point.

20pt games are becoming a common thing for AR.

Great second half by Reaves, Smart, Vando, Hachimura and Ayton. Luka carried the first half. Second half, rest of the Lakers showed up.

Smart and Vando changed the 2nd quarter with their energy

Lakers are good when Luka goes for 50.

Not just that, but rest of the team played damn well too

Reaves/Rui/Ayton showed life, Smart/Vando defense :nod:

First win for the Blazers against Golden State since February 2023. It's a new day.
