Season Opener Discussion Thread (HOU vs OKC, GSW vs LAL)

[Guest]

No official thread yet so I’m creating one. It’s the start of the 2025 season!

Rockets are hard to watch with no point guard running their offense. Whatever play they call up goes out the window as soon as the defense closes in. The super tall starting lineup is cool to see though.

Lmao I thought MJ was gonna be an analyst at halftime talking about the game. It’s a pre-recorded interview they probably shot in one day and will spread out into chunks thoughout the season.

Still expect to see Reed starting against smaller lineups with Adams coming off the bench.

Yeah it’s going to really rough come playoffs if they can’t figure out a solution during the season

I can't believe Marcus Smart has 4 fouls in the 1st half. He ass now.

The back and forth flopping before the end of the half was so bad.

2nd half starts W goes on a run and Ayton looks ass. Smart looks ass. I wish I saw the 1st game instead lol.

I can’t believe I’m saying this but Hayes has been more serviceable than Ayton. Less talented but he’s a better lob threat. Maybe Ayton needs more time to gel with Luka, but it’s Ayton we’re talking about.
