he looks scared and overwhelmed. a bit understandable. it's a long season - let's see where he's at after the new year.

Oh I dunno, maybe this isn't the same team at the end of the season even if they don't make any moves. It's literally the first KD game, it might take some time figure out the point guard thing. I know NBC has cranked up the pressure... but it's the first game of the season.

Chet denied at the rim!

this is super intense for a regular season opener. but it's 2 young hungry teams so they don't really know how to play any other way.

Okogie's always been such a gifted defender. A shame he's only 6'3 and not 6'7 cause he'd get way more credit

Dort needs to start hitting those shots or his next contract will be a lot smaller

Who wins the big opening night games?
