Caruso with no regard for human life! Would’ve been a yuge poster.

Sheppard foot speed is always gonna be in question. He has been blown by multiple times tonight at ease.

He's not here for his offense.

Oh I dunno, maybe this isn't the same team at the end of the season even if they don't make any moves. It's literally the first KD game, it might take some time figure out the point guard thing. I know NBC has cranked up the pressure... but it's the first game of the season.

it's just a glaring need for a lead guard. since they don't have one, guys are forced to play differently and some of their skills/impact aren't going to be maximized because of it. they can't go into the playoffs without one.

caruso should have put it down with two hands

AC went for the dagger dunk. That would have been incredible.

Sengun!!!

I don’t think that was a travel but I’m not sure KD didn’t get away with one earlier where he bobbled the drive then passed off the Jabari.

OKC players need to just shoot it if they're the last guy to get the ball after it swings to a corner. Passing a grenade to Caruso with 3 seconds is bad offense

jokic had a tougher time against caruso than sengun.
