The Young Socialite got it for sure. lol
The (interactive) roundup so far is:
-
Banchero is the real deal maybe? First 27pts debut since Lebron apparently, or something. Either way, absolutely tore it up. Wagner also very good today, looks like Magic might be the least-Magic this season since, what, Shaq? lol Pistons ran out winners by sending out 1st round kids to play, and they balled.
Duren, Cade and Ivy with just about 20 point games.
- My bois Mavs are still a 1man show and all the shouts of who will help Luka will end up with another mid-tier season, if that. Wood came in clutch today but honestly from preseason - we're still The Luka Doncic Mavericks.
- Nets, jesus. Ben with the triple single line while fouling out in under 25 minutes, KD amazing as always, the rest of the cast meh. Unless Kyrie picks it up - KD is just wasting time there. Props to Zion, who didn't come in at 50000000 lbs and also nearly a double double with 25/9 after 533 days out.
- Demar channeled prime MJ for 1 game to get the Bulls the W.
- Likewise SGA for the Thunder, but the unlikely Lob City duo of KAT and Gobert proved too difficult for the Thunder.
- Spurs with a ridiculous statline as nearly the whole team is in double digit scoring... But suffering a blowout by nearly 30 points somehow.
- Grizz winning a tight game.
Highlight was Ja, as always, and
Derick Rose hitting Steven Adams in the head with a very precise pass to nowhere.
- Utah bodied the Nugs, Sexton
ridiculing The MVP along the way to scoring 20 in 20 just about.
- Hawks beat rebuilding Rockets with a good statline by Trae, while the Pacers lost to the Wizards. The main talking point for Indiana is Myles Turner doing a Richard Wright and
tweaking his ankle by somehow falling on a ball boy lol
NBA IS BACK BABYYYYYY
I might never do this kinda thing again, or at least no time soon. Just a lot of things happening.
Hopefully Clippers just disintegrate the team tomorrow somehow. Also Beard vs Giannis tomorrow too.
