Great games today but I am surprised nobody is talking about Orlando BASHING Miami last night. This team has a more than bright future. Everybody knows his role, no divas, no bullshxt, just great, beautiful and fantastic basketball in this first game.
They will definitely be the dark horse in the east in my opinion. Franz Wagner and Paolo Banchero made another step in their game you can definitely see them dominate. What I love about Franz, you can tell he loves basketball, is always top motivated and really wants to win (same for his brother Moritz by the way). Now hat he has th big bad contract he has no pressure and can simply enjoy bringing his game to the next level and his team deep into the playoffs.
Orlando is such a fun team to watch and I really pray for them to slap "super teams" like Philly. It's gonna be tough but not impossible.
By the way, I was a big Orlando fan in the 90s because of Shaq and Penny, then switched to Dallas because Dirk entered the league ( I actually know him personally  Grin ) but I think supporting Orlando now is the way to go for me. Also they obviously have 3 German players with Franz, Mo and rookie Tristan da Silva. Go MAGIC!

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...

Yeah, it was a big surprised that Luka had played in this game, in any case, he seems to be feeling healthy already and enjoying every bit of the game against the Spurs specially in the 3rd quarter or his pass to Klay and get turning around as he knows that Klay is going to hit it.

But still very early to call how good the Mavs will be this season with the addition of Klay. Same with the Warriors as well with Buddy Hield had a great game. As for CP3, yeah, his age is really showing, and I think he doesn't want to score but to really help in the assists for those young players to score and win some games.

Lakers vs Suns again tomorrow, it will be in in the homecourt of the Lakers, so let's see if they can build a momentum here.

As per Luka I'm also in the impression that he will rest and will not play for the opening game but seems that he's enjoying and with that game where the trio combines we seen decent chemistries that may continue to established just like how Luka and Kyrie played last season with Klay bringing those decent numbers, he's adding threat to the opposing defense. And, knowing how Luka and Kyrie they will keep attracting the defense just like what happened with that open 3 point shot Luka knew it that Klay all the way with that kind of open spot.

I saw this statistic on social media and it was both interesting and too funny not to share. I think the Currys are definitely the best father son NBA duo so far. I think it will be hard for Bronny to top Dell’s career.

Highest scoring father-son duos in NBA history:

3. Curry’s (Steph 23,668/Dell 12,670)
2. Bryant’s (Kobe 33,643/Joe 5,252)
1. James’s (LeBron 40,490/Bronny 0)

It's indeed really hard for Bronny to even reach 5k+ points if he won't get any improvements at least in his first year in the NBA, otherwise he will end up in the G league lol.
Though, what's special about Lebron/Bronny father and son duo, is that they were able to play together on the same team at the same time. Other than that, If Bronny can't make any improvements, there's no other special features about this duo.

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.
Wow, this is such a serious injury that the player will not be able to recover and go out on the court again. Most likely, his career will be over. How could he make such an awkward move that led to such a sad circumstance. Although, I have seen many times how a player gets such an injury out of nowhere that it was hard to even imagine at that moment. Yeah, not the best situation. I will need to study this material in more detail to stay up to date with the events.

That's awful man and really pretty serious matter for his career. His struggling to perform well for many times and provably that injury will dictate that his NBA career is over. Don't know if Pacers would still able to deal with injury prone Wiseman and maybe that this is the last team that would get his service.

I really thought this player is big deal before in Warriors but many years past there's still no good development happen until he became a journeyman in NBA. What people could speculate right now if he could able to comeback or he will just sit around until this season ends. This is to bad for him since provably lots of teams would lost their interest to get him since injury prone players is big issue for teams.

Klay Thompson looked good out there tonight to my surprise. He was making tough shots and really helping his team out there.

The Sacramento Kings are looking great out there as a team. Looks like they’re going to beat the Timberwolves even though Julius Randle is having himself a hell of a night.
This image alone is enough proof to say that the Mavericks still have trust in Klay and they believe that he still has that shooting capabilities. Even Luka trust him and he knows that Klay can erupt at any given night if needed. This is a good start for Klay on his first game with Mavericks uniform. I hope that this would continue so he can say to his critics that he isn't washed. He just need good teammates.


As for the Kings-Timberwolves, it's a good thing that Edwards find somebody that can help him on offense as well and that's Randle. In his first game as a Timberwolves, Randle had 17 shots, still the same when he's on the Knicks. High volume of shots, but it's good for him that he shot pretty well tonight shooting 13/17. That isn't the case every night so I hope that he knows when to give the floor on offense to somebody when needed and not just shoot and shoot even he knows he doesn't feel it. Good start for Randle and for the Timberwolves as they stole one on the road.

Well CP3 is around 90 years old these days. He is going to be more useful in teaching than he will be on the court at this point. Maybe he needs to hang it up and look for an assistant coaching job with someone. I look for this to be his last year in the league.
Makes sense...his contract with the Spurs is just for this season. If his stats aren’t impressive enough for a team to re-sign him, he might not play anymore. I do like the idea of him joining the coaching staff, though I'm not sure if the Spurs would have a spot for him. If I were him, I wouldn't jump straight into coaching after retiring. I'd enjoy my massive NBA earnings first...CP3 has over $360 million. Maybe take a year off before getting back into it.

I'm curious if the Lakers cut Bronny or are too afraid to piss off Lebron? Bronny is not an NBA player IMO and barely could make a G league team.

We’ll see after this season. This one’s all about LeBron making history by playing with his son. But if Bronny doesn’t live up to expectations, I’m sure LeBron will understand...it’s for his son's own good. Otherwise, the criticism will keep coming, and that’s not great for LeBron’s legacy as a Hall of Famer.

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.
