NBA Regular Season, opening night!

[Mori Chu]

The NBA is back, baby! Three games on tonight:

* Detroit vs. Atlanta, 5pm Pacific.
* Cleveland vs. Chicago, 5pm Pacific (TNT).
* Golden State vs. New Orleans, 7:30pm Pacific (TNT).

Who's gonna be watching? Let's post in here during the games. So psyched to have the NBA back for a new season!

[Superbone]

I'll be watching on "tape" delay. Excited to have the NBA back.

[Nodack]

It's Fantastic!

i hope some of your enthusiasm rubs off on me mori. the last few years i really haven't had much of anything to celebrate. few storylines in the league play out the way i want them to. even the lakers have talent and hope...

[Mori Chu]

If I'm the optimist around here, we're doomed. I think we'll make the playoffs, but I'm still kind of bummed about our low ceiling and future prospects.

Chicago and the mayor beat Cleveland by 2. The newly minted $82 Million man: 25 min, 2 points, 12 rebounds. Rose: 18 points on 22 shots.

carey: Just came in here to post that. Both teams looked a little rusty to me. I enjoyed the fast-break where Lebron ran down, blindly passed it over his shoulder to a teammate, then found that no teammates had run back with him. Turnover. Is it wrong that I love seeing Lebron lose so much? And, enjoy $82 million of Tristan Thompson, Cleveland!

Marcus Morris 18 & 10 on 19 shots as the Pistons beat the Hawks to start the season.

I feel the same way. It may be wrong, but it just feels like something went right in the world when he loses.

[Mori Chu]

Andre Drummond is a beast. 18 points, 19 boards. That's a big man. Wish we had a single player on our team with even close to the potential of a guy like that.

Boy, that Pistons team doesn't have much depth. SVG is playing only 9 guys already, leaning a lot on his starters.

The Pelicans just started Kendrick Perkins. He also just scored twice. I just had to check if I time traveled backwards.

the last play where lebron got blocked by pau gasol to seal the chi victory.

[Mori Chu]

LOL. Kendrick Perkins is somehow leading the Pelicans in scoring. Now that's a banged-up team.

[Mori Chu]

Curry already has 17 points in the first quarter. Love watching this Warriors team.

[carey]

Curry is already the best shooter ever and I'm not sure it's even close.

[carey]

The only PGs the Pelicans have available are Ish Smith and Nate Robinson. Ish was just signed days ago and Nate last week. Ish has 11 in the quarter.

[pickle]

my fantasy team just got off to something like a 30% fg day.

why is drummond's fg% so low? for a 7' 270 lb athletic freak, that seems astonishing to me.

[Shabazz]

Still beating my FG%.

Marcus Morris 18 & 10 on 19 shots as the Pistons beat the Hawks to start the season.

Kent Bazemore didn't score and turned the ball 4 times. Of course he won't be that terrible every game, but the Hawks are going to miss Demarre badly. Also missed a ton of threes, including Korver. This has been said already, but Schroder is the new Tony Parker. Van Gundy has a very clear vision of what he wants out of his team and his personnel, if not flashy, is well cut for his system.

Still beating my FG%.

did you watch the game? this is highly uncharacteristic for AD, to say the least... 5 turnovers? did draymond green bear hug him for 40 minutes?
