Well the NBA season opened tonight with the defending champs the OKC Thunder facing our departed friend JMBM01's beloved Houston Rockets. The Thunder were able to pull out a 125-124 win in double OT as Jabari Smith missed a shot with time winding to secure the win. Great start to the season
 
So we have gone through the 1st week of the season and this started good but then gambling scandal hit and Terry Rozier, Chauncey Billups and Damon Jones were arrested by the Feds for illegal gambling and participating in high stakes poker games run by the mafia. After the opening game and the game Wemby had the NBA was looking pretty good. To have a black eye that happen is a very bad look. Especially since it leaked out that Damon Jones and Billups leaked info when players would not be playing. We'll have to see what the fallout from this is.
 
So it seems like the betting stuff has died down for now so the games have been the focus. About nine games in there have been a few surprises like the Lakers & Blazers being good.
LAL are 7-2 7 the Blazer are 5-3.
Ja Morant doing Ja Morant has been not surprising.
New Orleans being win less with Zion playing is a surprise as well.
Houston is doing fairly well with the tree lineup. KD looks rejuvenated. Alperen Sengun looks All-NBA
Wemby is dangerous
OKC is looking dynastic and Jalen Williams is still out. Ajay Mitchell has come out of now where for them
To me this is shaping up to be a good year. My Knicks are starting to round into form.
TBH I won't really start paying attention to the NBA until December but so far so good.
 
Well it looks like the Mavericks are going to fire Nico Harrison
