Opening Night Thread.

Heat vs Celtics
Lakers vs Mavs

Heat and Celtics are playing at a faster pace than I expected pretty good game so far, little sloppy the last few possessions though.

 

[GahLee]

When does Avery Bradley get back for Boston? They need him to run the backup point, Barbosa and Terry aren't ideal for that role.

 

[GahLee]

If Lewis wants to get decent minutes off the bench he better start rotating and closing out better than he has tonight.

That Lebron dunk with about 30 secs left.....wow, the power

The reverse ally was sick too.

Just glad to have Ernie, Kenny, Charles and Shaq back on the TV.

I think i missed that, i was watching 30 for 30: Ghosts of Mississippi...sucked by the way

 

[Nerd-Vol]

Im watching.

That new Tarintino flick looks awesome.

 

[YankeeVol]

I hate the Heat

 

[Notorious B.E.N]

I thought Miami would struggle tonight, trying to get Allen and Lewis acclimated

 

[Notorious B.E.N]

And Barbosa is on fire

They're both good shooters and have had some easy looks. Defensively is where they are out of the loop a bit.

Rondo added even more "punk" in the off-season. Nice.

 

[Notorious B.E.N]

Cant win em all if you dont win the first one.

Let's see how these new look Lakers look

Eh. Just frustration. Happens to everyone. He was pissed about the no call on Wade earlier.

I think it's childish for the Celtics to ignore Allen when he made several attempts to shake hands.

I want to see how Nash and Kobe play together. Kobe doesn't play without the ball, he's a wing player who thrives in isolation. Nash thrives in the open court and in pick and roll.

This could take awhile to get down for them.

 

[Notorious B.E.N]

Yeah, unless Kobe changes his style and philosophies (never gonna happen), they will take a while to gel

 

[Nerd-Vol]

God the lakers have a lot of big names.

 

[Notorious B.E.N]

I know we had a thread about this last year, but i wish NBA would recognize hockey assists

 

[Nerd-Vol]

I find offensive plays confusing.

I find offensive plays confusing.

If you think basketball offensives are confusing, try NFL defenses.

 

[n_huffhines]

Ray Ray with a stellar stat line. Exactly what they want from him. Ridiculous shooting % tonight. Terry was 2/7 with 3 turnovers, FWIW.

This is why I like racing. I have been watching it all my life and completely understand it.

When Steve Blake is the first player off the bench you gotta wonder about the rest if the team.
