Seems like the best post to start the season thread with 

 

[kren]

Casually drops this in his first preseason game. His prime will genuinely be until he retires

[Dread-headed Texan]

For anyone wondering Swain looked good last night and if he builds on it, he'll be a fine rotational player for my Bulls.

I’m expecting a big leap from Tre Johnson this year🤘

Paul George breaking the Celtics record for most points in a debut was not on my bingo card

What a game! Amen's block at the rim to seal it. Just wish that guy had a jumper lol

[CJ Vogel]

Kinda surprised to see Wemby start the season with such struggles. Figured he’d be on fire to start the year after the end of the finals run last year.

Ime should’ve called a timeout (he had 2) at the end of that last Rocket’s possession. At 7 seconds left on the shout clock, I think you gotta set up something to get the ball in KD’s hands when being up two scores would have gave them the game right there. Hell of a play by Amen though.

I think so too.  It’s time for the Rockets to carry their weight in the state of Texas in pro hoops.  The Spurs and Mavs have done their part this century.  Now it’s the Rockets turn.

He’s facing adversity which is something he hasn’t felt in a while. He has unbelievable physical skills though. He will be back.

The "Wemby benched" buzz mirrors exactly what has been unfolding in Austin.
