Uh oh. Jazz up 20+ on the Clips with two minutes left to play in the first.

The officials don't have to give him those calls where he initiates the contact. That's a choice.

I hate the high five rule they added. Feels like they are deciding to reward the foul merchants.

Really good chance the Bulls are the surprise team out of the East.

I didn't like that they called Mobley for high fiving the non-shooting hand (especially because it didn't look like a natural shooting motion). I'm not sure that's the intent.

Yea Detroit has no idea how to integrate Levert and Robinson. Duren is showing his defensive liabilities and hurt Buzelis in a landing zone tech, probably sprained his ankle too. Outrebounded, outmanned, and competely out of character.

It's the first night, but it's gonna be rough as we learn how to win without shooting. This is like watching the Pistons from 2-3 years ago right now.

Edgecome couldn’t buy a trip to the free throw line, but damn he has some shot making abilities.

What’s going with Embiid? Is it completely cooked now?? A Celtics starting lineup with Hauser and Pritchard in the backcourt, and Queta (who?!?) should not be able to shut down Embiid. This is one of those games where he dominates weaker frontcourt opponents.

If he keeps this pace up, he'll start getting a more veteran whistle rather fast.
