I thought Luka wouldn’t play, but he did - and led the Mavericks to a win in their season opener. And while we were guessing that CP3 would help bring out the best in young Wimby, it looks like CP3 wasn’t really that impactful. He seems to have lost his scoring touch. Sure, he got 8 assists, but he ended up with a -21 in the plus/minus...

They’re saying that James Wiseman tore his Achilles tendon yesterday. That looked like such a freak injury. He just seemed to step slightly awkwardly and it popped. I wonder if he had been icing it before he hit the court like Durant did a few years ago. Tough break for Wiseman. He was once a great prospect but this might be the end of his career.

Looks like Wiseman's another Oden. The guy has only been in the NBA for 4 years but already has an impressive list of injuries in such a short period. Moreover, Wiseman already had a serious injury early in his career - a torn meniscus, and he missed a lot of games because of it. Now he has an even more serious injury, and I agree with you that this is most likely the beginning of the end of his NBA career.

Yeah, when he was with the Warrior,  there are a lot of prospect on him as he could be the one to help them win more rings or at least be there for them with him and Looney at the center position. But he had a rough time with the Warriors because of injuries and so I would say that the Warriors had made a good decision to let him go and trade.

And now he is injured again, it could be season ending for him. We don't know if he can come back with the same hype and athleticism as this kind of injuries might also lead to career ending just like Greg Ogden another big man.

Freak injury indeed! It was a non contact play and he was neither even sprinting nor doing any special stuff when it happened, I was watching the game before switching off, If I remember correctly he was shooting free throws when it happened and after turning he looked back as though someone had stepped on him.

It’s quite saddening for Wiseman to be honest, he’s career has not been the same in a while, and being signed by Pacers seemed much like some renewed hope for him until this, I wish him a speed recovery.

The real crazy thing is he could stay in the league long enough to end up playing alongside 2 of his sons. Given their size differences, we could realistically see LeBron, Bronny, & Bryce on the floor at the same time. With all the talk around Bronny, people aren’t yet focusing on Bryce who is in my opinion the better prospect.
While Bryce is definitely looking like he is a better prospect, I would say one of the main reasons would be being healthy. Bronny could be ok enough to play, maybe it's because of his dad, maybe he will become decent, but Bryce is healthy whereas Bronny had heart issues, so that may cut his career short to begin with. Bryce on the other hand has none of that, and has elite level athletic abilities as well, obviously not like his father lol, nobody in the world has that, but we know Byrce has NBA level athletic abilities at least, so one thing is done for him.

Bronny wasn't bad neither on that, his jump for his height is great, and he is super agile, which is an important thing, he just needs to find his shot, but that agility will help him a lot on defense. Maybe Bronny should turn into a defensive specialist, I can see a better future for him in that role, dude even locked Antony Edwards for two possessions and I saw potential to be a great defender if he puts his mind to it.

Check out this clip on X of the Clippers players throwing t-shirts to fans from the Jumbotron. A pretty cool idea. The Clippers seem to be full of those as their fan “wall” behind the basket has already proven to be difficult for opposing players shooting free throws. I really like where this stuff is going. Makes me want to attend a Clippers game.

Alperen Sengun extended his contract with the NBA team Houston Rockets.
Sengun, who signed a 5-year contract, has the right to be a free agent in the last year of his contract if he wants.
Alperen provided good statistics in his first match but it was not enough for them to win. Look at the statistics of Houston guards and it is clear why they lost the match.
It seems like it was not good for Alperen Sengun to tie himself to this team for so long. He could have stayed for another year and gone to the team he wanted.

Alperen Şengün, who just signed a new contract with Houston, started the season quite well, but in the second half of the game he struggled with his defense. He definitely needs to improve his defense. Overall, Houston's 110-105 loss at home to Charlotte was not a good start for them.

OT was more exciting. Harden played hero again, he got the foul but missed one. How?! Exhausted? Maybe? Anyway, I won my bet on that. -2.5 for the Suns. Thankfully, Nurkic made both free throws. Cheesy
It's just the first week but the games are already intense.

You must've bet early to get that -2.5 spread, that 0.5 win was a thrill. Nurkic is pretty consistent for a big man, so I didn't think he'd miss that free throw. Congrats on your win though, great way to start the first week of NBA betting. Which team surprised you the most so far? For me, it's the Warriors. Their ball movement was flawless, and they took a road win by 30+ points.

Hmm, there is something with this Warriors team right now, I know it's too early to say, but it looks like the same movement when they have their last championship run. I'm not saying that they are going to win this season, but they are going to be one of dark horse I believed in the West. Buddy Hield's addition and Melton might be genius move by the Warriors management.

Yes, he is not a replacement for Klay, but he might have the numbers that Klay have when he was at his prime with the Warriors or even better. So let's see how it goes, maybe they will get to the playoff for this year and as long as they are healthy, it's going to be fun to watch the Warriors again with this kind of fluid movement.

Splash Brothers out
Splash Buddies in

Curry is so hyped with Hield, Its good to see he's happy on how Hield perform for their team and we can really say that they already overcome those big challenges and now they became a better team compare before. Hield and Melton's addition for Warriors is really great and its like we are seeing a classic Warriors with this current line up also the way they spread in the floor.

Many doubt about he cannot replace Klay on points production and other contribution, but now he proves that he's perfect fit on the system of GSW. Its good to see Hield doing good and already find good home with GSW.

Suns leading the Clippers, it's second half so let's see how it goes. Their big 3 is really contributing big in this game, specially Bradley Beal. I wanted him to play great this season with the Suns so that it will be a interesting West conference as teams are pretty loaded.

Turned out to be a great game and down to the wire. Durant sent it into overtime with a nice fade away over a double team. Then Harden missed a free throw that could’ve sent it into double overtime. In the end the Suns won by 3 points in overtime after Harden lost the ball on a last second chance (his second chance) to send it into double overtime.
Yeah, that was a fun game. Intuit Dome was lively, you can feel from the chants of the Clippers' fans that they are at home. Very nice to see that.

Booker fouled out at the last minute of the 4th quarter, I cannot believe that and I thought it would weaken the chance of the Suns to win the game. But damn, Kevin Durant, the assassin is still doing what he normally does. A fadeaway perimeter shot with Harden and Coffey in his face. Rawr!
Harden tried playing a hero but he should've taken that screen that was being offered to him, the result is him missing the last shot.

Oh what a game, Harden's costly turnover and then missing that free throw. Lol. Booker fouled out and we thought that the Suns is done as he is the one making that big shots and making that comeback.

So debut game and we have OT already, so what more this season will offer to us? Congrats to those who bet on this game, I wasn't able to pull the trigger yet, but in any case, there are a lot more games ahead of us, so let's just take it slowly.

I think tomorrow's game between the Nuggets vs OKC will be a tough one to decide. Denver though, slight favorite against SGA's Thunder.

I’m seeing a lot of people trashing LeBron for now having the most missed shots in NBA history. I think that’s a pretty bad take. LeBron has scored a lot more points than Kobe and he just passed him in missed shots. LeBron’s efficiency has always been amongst the best in the NBA. Him having the most missed shots speaks more to his longevity than his ability to.l make shots in my opinion.

Well the NBA is always focussing on the weirdest stats to be honest. Of course Lebron at some point had to be on top of this statistic since he also is top on most shots taken, that's what some of the haters are missing when they talk trash.
If LBJ stays healthy he might get up to the 2nd spot in most game played as well, passing Kareem. He has to play 68 games to accomplish that, 51 more games after that to get ahead of Robert Parish. Guess we will see him for another season cause I honestly believe he wants to be on top of that list as well.

By the way, about this list, I am surprised to see Dirk on 4th place having played 1522 games, and obviously all of them for the Mavericks. That's a record nobody can take from Dirk, most games for a franchise (beating John Stockton by 18 games).

I didn’t expect that game to end up being so thrilling. Harden, without PG, Kawhi, and Westbrook, makes them a completely different team, but you can really count on Harden to come through in the clutch (except for that one miss). Despite the result, I’d still say the Clippers are definitely contenders this season, especially once Leonard is back.

Bummer to read that Zion Williamson will be out for the season opener tonight as reported by Bleacher Report. Not the greatest way for him to start the season considering he never makes it to the end of the season. The Pelicans are going to have to figure out something with their roster fast. Their time is running out.
I looked at ESPN on why Zion is out on their season opener, and it's due to illness. Saying that "it's not the greatest way for him to start the season" is a bit overexaggerated knowing that he's out only because of an illness. He will be back maybe on their next game against the Trail Blazers.

I don't know why you said that the Pelicans need to figure something out. I mean is there any problem with their current roster now? I don't see any problem with their roster right now, and it's just the start of the season. It's very early to judge the team just because a key player is out (due to an ILLNESS). I agree with what you said though that he's performing well during the regular season but can't play when the playoffs/play-in comes. Maybe that's the problem with the team, but it's too early to judge them.

Their time is running out? Eh? Huh Huh Huh

Their time is running out.

Well him and Kawhi could be some of the best paid player that hasn't made a full season with their current team because of nagging injuries and other issues with them. I also have the feeling that if things didn't go well with Zion, depending on his contract, he could be traded or not offered a good contract next.

In principle, it is not surprising that he has the most missed shots in NBA history because he has already played 22 seasons in the NBA and has performed in almost 1,5k games. And if we compare to other top players, I think LeBron has had the highest number of both haters and fans in his career. Everyone can have a different opinion of him, but I think everyone agrees he's the GOAT in one way or another.
