Innovating in the field of smoshed potatoes which feels like a @darthbluesky.bsky.social post if there ever was one. Maybe a little parsley and butter when served.

Not gonna lie. Skinny Luka freaks me out a little bit. Don’t get me wrong, him being in better shape can only help his game. But he was our doughy king. I do wonder if it negatively affects some of the bully ball game he would employ on smaller guards.

What a fucking game, man. Basketball is VERY good.

OKC winning by one would be justice for the uncalled tech at the end of the first OT when KD called the timeout he didn’t have.

“So that’s why Reed Shepard didn’t play last year.” - everyone watching this game

You have to be kidding me. It’s clear as day he’s trying to call timeout and doesn’t have any! That’s a HUGE missed call. This game should be decided by a SGA free throw!

HOW IS THAT NOT A TECHNICAL FOUL????

We haven’t had a first night like this in the NBA since the legendary Celtics-Knicks game that resulted in the Sidetalk that created Bing Bong.

Probably won’t see him until January when they come to Chicago. I’m trying to follow the Blackhawks somewhat regularly this year but only the NBA gets my out of market winter sport eyeballs.

MVP shit right there.

Houston HAS to get the ball inside. Caruso is guarding Steven Adams. Let Sengun operate from the high post. I know the conventional wisdom is let KD play iso ball in crunch time but use the physical advantages you have on the floor right now.

Adam @arbrown.bsky.social · 9h

Alperin Sengun has maybe been the best player on the court tonight?

ESPN set the bar below the core of the earth with their halftime content, and frankly a lot of the production aspects. NBC has been quite good on night one. TNT is still the gold standard, but I’m impressed with what we’ve gotten so far. Curious how it goes on Prime later this week.

Give him more touches than Reggie, NBC producers.

This feels like an unusual amount of pull up threes in the OKC shot diet. Probably a lot to do with J-Dub being out tonight but they’re settling for some less than ideal shots, even early in the shot clock.

Adam @arbrown.bsky.social · 10h

That would be a tough miss given they traded up to get him. Rare miss from Tim Connelly.

Adam @arbrown.bsky.social · 10h

Guy fellas? What the hell is that, Adam???

Adam @arbrown.bsky.social · 10h

You need the guy fellas on your own bench to grow into their roles too. NAW was a really good role player. I’m high on Shannon Jr, still need to see it from Dillingham.

Adam @arbrown.bsky.social · 10h

And if you just want to enjoy vibes and transactions that’s cool too! But Mo and Steve Jones Jr. are there when you need them to break it down.

Adam @arbrown.bsky.social · 10h

As Zach Lowe says, if you want to know what happened in the game last night, follow Mo.

Cripes. What they’ve done to us as sports consumers is so shitty. I love YTTV, but it not having Marquee is as much a reason as the Cubs operating like a Midwest efficient bank that has completely removed regular season baseball from my sports diet.

Adam @arbrown.bsky.social · 11h

They’re kinda a nightmare matchup for your guys because they have Thompson to neutralize your biggest threat as well as any defender in the league can.

Adam @arbrown.bsky.social · 11h

Ant is also in my inner circle of appointment TV. League is in such good hands going forward. You missed your window to be a bandwagon Bucks guy up in Wisconsin. That window is shut pretty tightly now.

This league more than any other I am just a fan of watching good ball, not so much teams.

Adam @arbrown.bsky.social · 11h

It’s one thing to see all those listed heights on paper for the Rockets but seeing them all on the floor together is imposing. This team is going to be trouble for a lot of teams that lack size this year, especially at the 5. Steve Adams is going to eat on the offensive glass.
