You'd think with 10 games there'd be some better matchups. Apart from wanting to see an individual player or two, the Magic/Pistons is the only really interesting game to me. Lakers/Wolves would be cool if people were playing.

Rockets need a decent guard badly. Amen is a SF with a busted shot and subpar handle. His ceiling is limited, hes just an athlete.

Great start from Scottie Barnes. Still hopefully he can be a regular all star type talent

I feel like most teams are using OKC's 'they can't call every foul' defensive game plan which is leading to a crazy amount of free throws league wide. Haven't looked at the stats so it may be anecdotal to the games I've been watching.

Cavs game with a combined 18 three pointers made in the 1st quarter. Hauser 5 of 6

Cavs shot 10-12 from 3 but only lead by 2 after the first. I guess I'll take it.

I feel like the Cavs aren't very big on boxing out. They give up so many 2nd chances and they run so many 2 big lineups. Their guards don't even try to find a guy on a miss.

Thats the one thing missing. Also terrible ball control of the bigs. Just no headsup play from the bigs. Very tunnel visioned.

I love the new half-court heave rule. So many extra shots that players didn't get up to protect their percentages (understandably).
