Lebron James, one of the greatest basketball players in history, finally realized what he had been dreaming for years: The first father-son duo to play together in the NBA. Lebron emphasized the importance of family at the end of the game, while Bronny said he would never forget this moment. The Lakers won the game 110-103, starting the season with a victory.

Damn, I just watched a funny video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iFdlHhiuvx8
After the Celtics tied the current record for 3s in a game (29) the missed the next/last 13 3 point attempts to set a new record, plenty of them wide open.
Here is the story to is as well: https://www.nba.com/news/celtics-tie-nba-record-29-3-pointers
It's crazy how it goes sometimes. You shoot the lights out, have 29/48 from 3 with a great percentage and then when you just need 1 more to get a new record, it just won't happen.
.It might be good though if Tatum went for the 3 point record as well, 8-11 for him in this game. How about how dominant AD in their games the Wolves, 36 points, 16 rebounds, he even had a block against Rudy Gobert and probably sending a message as to he should be the Defensive Player of the Year. And Lebron James finished with 16 points, five rebounds and four assists. And probably this is where the Wolves missed KAT, there is no more big men that can at least go and fight guys like AD and maybe all other teams as well. Good start as well for new Laker coach JJ Reddick.
I didn’t expect to see Ken Griffey Jr and Sr sitting courtside at the Lakers game, but that’s pretty cool. Everyone is just waiting for Bronny to get on the floor so history can be made. The announcers are talking like it isn’t a sure thing it will happen, but I’m pretty sure if they flew the Griffeys out for courtside seats we’re going to see Bronny check in.
With the Lakers having a dominant performance against the Wolves, yes, Bronny checked in along with LeBron.
Great opening game win for the Lakers and Bronny will have a lot to learn. That last minute advice from LeBron before checking in really tells everything. Preseasons, summer leagues has way different intensity during the regular season and it's even intensify in the playoffs. So, the kid should be ready for it lol.
Yes, I also thought that the Wolves are going to win, but we forget that there is this thing called homecourt advantage, and with that, in the first quarter alone, the Lakers did play good, with Rui exciting the crowd with his dunks and then AD playing defense.
ANT scored, but he has missed some good view on the three point line. And then Bronny and Lebron, playing along side to a regular game. Yeah, it's true the intensity is very much different in regular games moving forward. And so with that criticism on Klay Thompson performing badly with the Mavs, maybe when he step on the court this time, it will be very different game for him.

The crowd would have lost it if Bronny hit that 3 on the pass from LeBron. That would have been an epic moment. Unfortunately, Bronny couldn’t deliver, but he made history being out there a couple minutes even if he had a +/- of -5 and only recorded a rebound. Anthony Davis stole the show tonight. Jayson Tatum had himself a night in the other game as well.

I voted for the Celtics to win the upcoming championship. For me it's hard to see anyone else winning it as dominant as they have been and as far as I can tell, they are pretty much bringing back everyone?
I don't know about the rest of you, but I'm still having some sadness that the Olympics are over already. The men's basketball tournament was so ridiculously exciting and a handful of those players being legends that we will never get to see again. For me, I liked it better than the regular season.

It was a great tourny but as a knicks fan this might be the best team they fielded since the 1990s so been waiting for the squad to get on the floor since the season ended. Glad they play Boston game one as a little check on how they stack up. October is so great for sports...
Anyway, the New York Knicks lost today and they look strong on the paper but they badly need that chemistry to work out. Great roleplayers, stars, Brunson, and a great fanbase, they need a win to boost their confidence in their next games.
Boston Celtics on the other hand showed again why they are the champions, Tatum went nuts on the offensive end and the defense was suffocating from White and Jrue Holiday. It's a strong small-ball lineup.
Since the talks are about signing contract. We can remember about Giannis giving a clue to the Bucks management that he might transfer to another team if they won't win a chip this season. Well, the Bucks has answered with this;
There are rumors that the Bucks are interested in trading MarJon Beauchamp to open a roster spot. Apparently, it's just to re-sign a contract with Thanasis, which I think is a very bad decision from the Bucks' management. I'm wondering what kind of value Thanasis can bring to the team in the upcoming season. Will he be cheering up the players in the locker room or handing out Gatorade and towels on the bench?

Knicks really struggling with the rebounds I guess it safe to say that Boston will win this opening night. Not just rebounds but also 3 points shots (Edit: End of the 1st half Knicks 4/14 in 3pts line). Mikal Bridges also look like doesn't know what his doing can't see the chemistry of the Knicks players right now. I guess Tatum can make triple double tonight if he plays more than 35mins tonight very great 3 points percentage for Boston Celtics tonight.
The Knicks have a whole lot to do defensively, I agree! They were quite impressive offensively that was evident by the numbers and shooting percentage even when trailing by more than 20 points, but they lack chemistry defensive, hopefully they'll improve on that, I understand KAT is their big man and is primarily responsible for a number of their rebounds, but Josh Hart and Mikal Bridges too need to step up their efforts with the lose balls, perhaps Hart was also right when he said he doesn't understand his role in the team anymore. The communication needs to be better between these 2 players, and OG as well, they'll got know who's picking who up from half court and who's guiding who, the open 3's attempts allowed were far too much to not get punished for by a team like the Boston Celtics.
Not to take anything away from the Celtics terrific offense and general performance, they are still a team to beat this season.

I didn’t really care about the Olympics to be honest. That woman’s rugby highlight was the only good part for me. I probably won’t watch the Olympics again unless they stop letting men compete in women’s sports.
Somewhere Anthony Edwards is stretching his legs and hoping he gets the chance to posterize Bronny for a Sportscenter highlight.
They were fishing for the record of three's made inwhich they tied with the Bucks at 29.

Won a rather large bet on the game so on to the one everybody seems to be interested in other than for the game itself.
What they are saying will happen for this one where they put Bronny in and he is so bad that it cost them the game.
He has been out for a year due that heart condition if I am not mistaken. So he essentially shoulldn't be in the NBA but in the G-League to begin his career. But that is the star power in the NBA, King James can get him in with a wave of his hand.
Hoping for ANT to posterize him just as you said tonight too.
Watched that clip you posted and fruity flakes in his sunroof so the "Don't be late Rook!" is a saying now.
Obviously a Nike commercial as they are cashing in on this monumental night for Lebron and son.
Guys, if you have some bets, please do share them in this other thread by @stadus.
It will be nice to see other's perspectives about the game and since the season is starting, you might as well post your picks there. Who knows? I will gladly tail some good picks as long as it has good insights about the game.
Sometimes I am lazy about looking at both teams and would be really helpful if some of us could share their thoughts and insights about how the game will end and the results. Let's keep the NBA discussion clean with discussions and fill the NBA betting with our picks.
Hope to see you there.

We've already been sharing NBA betting on this thread since 2015. There is no need for a new thread. This is the most posted thread in Gambling Discussion and the only place on the forum that comes to mind when talking about the NBA.

He can't just transfer to another team. He is locked in for 3 more years.
His 2027-2028 year is a player option so that’s as good as gone. He’s already trying to win a championship for 2024-2025. They have to trade him before the 2026-2027 season or they’re risking losing him for nothing. Same with Damian Lillard. So I would say Giannis is probably right. If they don’t win a championship this year or start next season with high expectations he will likely be traded.

LeBron just posted a pretty funny skit on his X page of him playing a prank on Bronny for being a rookie before their first game. It’s LeBron style corny and obviously fake, but it is funny and well done. Definitely worth the watch. Makes me wonder what other sort of stuff they have planned for tonight’s broadcast.
