Morant has a different gear and all four directions. He can also change speeds and elevate with the best of them. He's the most electric player I have seen since Wade. 

[MU82]

  completely agree but unfortunately it depends on the DA and the judge.  they've been letting out a lot worse for less than this.

I didn't say lock him up and throw away the key. I said take away his driving privileges. And maybe get him some psychological help if deemed necessary.

Give 'em da Kolek treatment, aina?

  your intentions are good, but there needs to be consequences BEFORE he kills someone

So LaVine is out of the Bulls' game tonight for what he says is "load management". Really? Load management in game 1 of the season? Guess he put too much into the preseason and is going to rest for the regular season.

Are the Bulls starting to tank already?

That is bizarre....but the Bulls are up 8?  In Miami?

I'm just excited to see hoops. I understand reality.

In fairness, LaVine made the playoffs for the first time ever so the extra five games last season will take a toll on anybody. Heck I think Ball reinjured just himself watching the playoffs.

LOL.  Looking at the box score I see Ayo is having a nice game.

Luka >>>>>> Tatum.

Love what Luka does to the Suns. A true alpha against a team of betas that think they're alphas.

The Suns look awful.

The Rocket has had an issue  with prosecutors ever since they refused to plea bargain that Peeping Tom case.

Suns figured out how to win. Have Chris Paul find the bench.

Wow.  Luka needs to complain a lot less.  This would be a total collapse if Dallas loses.

not worth trying to have this conversation with you.

Looks like Pop is taking the Nosedive for Victor thing seriously. His team opened the season by getting crushed at home by a mediocre-at-best Hornets squad that was without their two best players.

I'll bet the Spurs haven't reduced ticket prices for this season, though. G League Hoops at big-league prices!

Zion with a nice opening game.  Tremendous power and quickness.

Simmons was apparently an unmitigated disaster.  Nash said he was rusty.

Yeah, he'll have to shake off the rust so he can get back to his career 3-point and FT-shooting form, not to mention all the postseason success he's orchestrated.

Interesting story how Kyrie Irving burst onto the college recruiting radar

So it's been a quarter, aren't we due a Muggsy over reaction?

I missed most of the first half but clearly Holiday needs to shoot better.

[MuggsyB]

Two bomeheaded plays by Grayson Allen.  Move the freaking ball. 

[MuggsyB]

I'd like to see Giannis post Tucker instead of playing PG.

[MuggsyB]

No idea why Budenholzer doesn't have Holiday on Harden.
