Hidden highlight for me: seeing Tayshaun Prince on the sideline of that Steven Adams clip. Prince was the last basketball player my Papa and I ever talked about before he passed in '99. My Papa lived in Lexington and was a Kentucky season ticket holder. He told me all kinds of crazy stories from back in the day, including once having a conversation with a scouting Jerry West and telling him that Dominique Wilkins was the best player in the SEC that year, and West agreed. Anyway, back in '99 Prince was finishing his freshman season and my Papa told me " We have a freshman named Prince who drove me nuts this year, but it will be worth it. I can tell he's gonna be a special player, keep your eye on him." I just did, Papa. *room gets dusty, etc*
So...much...BASKETBALL!!! Herb Jones Plastic Fantastic! The Suns still got some backbone. The Knicks competed even if Thibs still not Obi ready. Mister DeRozan is still on one for the Chi. What if NBA Alternate Reality Freaky Friday: Draymond and Ben switch bodies!?!? Does Utah know who they are supposed to be? Does Detroit? Beef wearing Stewie's saddle shoes is ready for the runway! The NBA Halloween Horror movie double feature: The Night of the Pelicans and thGrizzlies Attack!
If that wasn't a charge on Morant, I'm not really sure what is. Objectively, I'd guess that at least half of his driving dunks over a player should be called as charges.
I know it's very exciting, but the defender is allowed to be *somewhere.*
The first real night was so much fun. My first league pass watching action of the season was a strong Bol Bol stint. I was not expecting Bol in the season opener but was so delighted by it. Good omens for a fun season
I know what you meant on 4-5-5 but Draymond had one foul and was +12. Ben Simmons had 6 fouls and was -26. Those are not identical stat lines.

I am so happy to have NBA basketball back.
The Curry family at the holidays must be the most amazing place on Earth. Never mind the pick up games.

As a Heat fan, reading the words “Justice Winslow” made me so happy
