My Lithuanian boys start the season. Hoping for a good showing from Jonas and Domas, bless tall people of ours.

I think the NBA dropped the ball today xD

San Antonio // Denver
&
OKC // Dallas

Would have been juicier matchup with Wemby going against Jokic and and a rematch the best 2nd round series last year with two revamped rosters.

With that said, these are still great matchups hahaha

If the Celtics are playing anything similar to what they looked like on opening night, we might have our first 50 point beatdown of the season. More likely tho we will see a huge lead and then a lot of Sam Hauser in the second half.

Excited to see how much better Braun, Watson and Strawther have gotten since last season. I think Braun will quickly make people forget about KCP.

Absolutely love the TNT double header. I think both the Spurs and Thunder win on the road. The Nuggets looked really sloppy in the preseason and I think we see the value of Caruso harassing Murray right away. Based on absolutely nothing tangible, I think the Spurs get the upset win tonight in a flip of last year’s opener.

Is this Bostons MCW gets a triple double letdown game?

Ant is on record saying Sacramento is his favorite road arena to play in. I expect a big night.

Three great games tonight. We'll see if the Wizards are competitive with the locked in C's.

I'm sure the magic FO will be keeping an eye on Denver's SG situation. Over the last decade the main starting SG's for the magic have come directly from Denver: Afflalo, Fournier, Gary Harris, and now KCP :lol:

Kinda weird.

I always remember when the back to back champion Heat lost their 2nd game of the 2013-2014 season against the 76ers, who were in their first season of their tanking!..It was such a major upset at that time!

Excited to see OKC above all other teams tonight but it sucks that they're not fully healthy.

Thunder/Nuggets and Wolves/Kings look like the most competitive games on the schedule. But you never know, excited to see if Wemby has leveled up.

Who wins?
