Even without VanFleet I rate the Rockets higher than OKC this season.
Durant stretching the defense and scoring unlike anyone else can, more than makes up for the lack of a playmaker.
The most athletic defense in the NBA, now has the most unstoppable scorer in the NBA.
Last season Durant averaged 26.6 points, .527 field, .430 threes, 1.2 blocks, the greatest show on earth.

Two great games to get things going.

I'm really curious to see how the Amen v SGA and Butler v Luka matchups work out.

Amen, Durant, Jabari, Sengun, Adams will likely be the opening night starting lineup. That’s not our regular starting lineup just incase you're not in the know. We beat OKC handedly last season starting double big, and Ime has reiterated the 5th starter will be decided on a game-by-game basis based on matchup.

A lot of question marks for OKC before this game and poor 3pt shooting, no J-Dub.. I took OKC but it's 50/50.

Lakers are trash, but Luka might carry them. I got the Warriors though.
