Lets see if the Jazz can hold James Harden under 57 pts.

Oh crap I didn't know we were playing. And we're on TNT, I can't wait for the backhanded comments from the studio crew about the Rockets.

Thank God for TNT Overtime, I wish that was available every game so I can analyze the game better.

Thunder can get to .500 if they win this game...didn’t realize it was in Mexico City until today so hopefully they step up and play well cause it’s a showcase game. No PG though.

Hopefully Rockets Jazz is a good game. I’m a little worried it could be a blowout by Houston, but hopefully not.

Donovan Mitchell was only in base form then. He's now Super Saiyan 1. It'll be a better game.

I'm most excited for Philly-LA as for all the talk about the Lakers on here, I don't watch them live that often. There are a lot of good (or potentially good) young players in the game.

That being said, Utah Houston is probably better matchup on paper.

If the last game is any indication, the Lakers are gonna get destroyed.

Simmons and Joel ran circles around that team.

Yeah, I have no idea what to expect from that Jazz-Rockets game. Could be a trap game since it's so hard to win in Utah and the Rockets are probably rusty after such a dumb schedule over the past two weeks. That and D Mitch going crazy.

Nobody is talking about the real game of the night: Washington vs Phoenix. Bradley Beal vs. Troy Daniels. Tim Frazier vs. Mike James.

Saric out, Simmons moved to PF and Bayless starting at guard.

The Ingram vs Simmons match up should be fun.
