They are rotating the duty but mostly Amen. Sengun is a hub like Jokic and he’s often the primary facilitator while Durant with his gravity is another. I think they are just shooting better than last year and have the edge in size over other teams. Lots of rebounds and second chance points.

yo WTF is this court design? My eyes are burning.

Yo, if you’re gonna play games in other countries, make sure everything is working. This is obnoxious.

ITS ALL RIGGED BY THE MAN

If it's rigged, it should be easier to make the picks.

Don’t think it’s either/or. They are going to have some growing pains with Amen and Reed but might ultimately be better off with them than they would have been with FVV from a playing pov. Obviously Fred’s leadership is missed regardless.

Rockets almost got 2 players with triple doubles against Celtics. They probably would have got it if they played the full game.

I already knew, but in case anyone is watching that hasn’t seen Detroit in a while… Duren is just monstrously large. 21 years old for another couple weeks. Just freaky.

Just as an FYI, this game is being played at 7,400 feet. Players are gonna be gassed.

You know when AD was out for like a month last season we played our best basketball all season. The ball was moving and the offense was fast. Helps that you had Lebron but honestly AD slows the offense down to a halt. Wasn't like that when we first got him. Then again he was way thinner and overall just way more fluid of an offensive weapon.

AD keeps his body in the physical shape of a Center but wants to move and be a power forward. The injuries should be a surprise to nobody considering his weight and style.

Everybody looks gaspy out there.

The execution isn’t great but the pace is pretty fast. Everyone’s gonna be dead in the second half.

tmorgan · Post #78 » by **tmorgan** » Sun Nov 2, 2025 2:53 am

Impressive first quarter for both groups, he said? What? Not at all.

The worst time slot for Aussies are Sunday Afternoon/Matinee games (US time)

Getting up at 5 - 6 am to watch The Celtics is a very tough ask (especially as I am also a Premier League fan and often stay up to 4 am our time watching the fixtures, esp if Leeds are playing on Sunday)

He reminds me of young Dwight Howard every time I see him on the court. Wish he was a bit more active defensively but he's going to be really good for a long time.

Who wins?
