Opening night!

Warriors vs Nets

So far the Nets are dominating, though they're playing against Curry and the Dubs G-League team. Nets getting whatever they want, but I dont see them racking up many assists this year. Very iso heavy.

Lakers vs Clippers up next.

Making some decent money on fanduel tonight, however I made one huge mistake that will turn what should have been a $500+ night, into about $150-$200.

My whole feeling was to start Wiseman, but after setting my lineup, I had an extra $300 in salary cap that allowed me to afford Deandre Jordan. I usually try to not fall for that trap of having to spend every remaining dollar, but fell for it tonight...double edged sword though, I did get Wiseman in the single game matchup, which helped me cash there.

Imagine if he was in the draft this year. He’s so much fun to watch.

I hope KD goes on a tear this year. Glad he’s back.

This is going to get railed but does anyone else think Luka is a tad overrated? Everyone is anointing him the MVP of the next decade, but I still think there’s 7-10 guys I’d rather have.

Miami has shot the lights out. It’s actually dark in the arena now.

Healthy Dragic is going nuts too. Just made Zion look silly.

Zion has underwhelmed defensively to say the least. He is *horrid* on that end. Even though he has played in only 25 games he is legitimately as bad as KAT on defense.

Middleton was the guy I wanted ideally for Wigs. Never had a chance in hell happening though.

I don’t remember seeing Teague dunk the ball once in his time here.

He just blew one on a fast break.

what's going on with the cavs defender who pretends to get ready to contest that, but then pulls back and doesn't jump? because it's jeff teague??!?!??!?!?! how does jeff teague driving in for a dunk put the fear of God into anybody? i don't understand players today. that thing should have gone backwards into about the 4th row. exum has at least five inches on teague - plus a 6-9 wingspan - plus he's pretty athletic. i don't get it.
