The Spurs have jumped out the gate with an impressive victory over the GSW.
Jonathan Simmons (D-Leaguer) was impressive with his defense and 20 point production with the reserves.
Hope our guys can step it up against Philadelphia tonight.

Yeah, Kawhi and LMA probably have the box score filled. I was most impressed by Simmons
^I read an article on Simmons story today. Coming from a d-league team paid tryout to putting 20 points up against the warriors is incredible. Really pulling for that guy this year.
Good start to the season last night. Glad we got to have a solid showing on national television.
The KD/OKC memes got even better with that fan flipping off Russell
Embiid was boss last night. I hope 76ers start to appreciate Hinkie a little more.
Another great win tonight to go to 2-0 on the young season. But but,why is Singler playing all those minutes? He adds about 0. The other team doesn't have to guard him and he gets wide open 3s and clanks them off the rim. If this team doesn't find a couple shooters they prob. won't make the playoffs. Westbrook can't score 50 every night he has to have some help.

Singler is a decent defender and one of the only players who has shown the ability to shoot the three (career 37%). He's been incredibly awful since coming to the Thunder, but OKC signed him to a long-term deal so they need to figure out if he can turn it around. If he plays to his ability he can help space the floor by hitting thress. Unfortunately, the Thunder don't have many other options for shooting.
The reality is that Russ is going to have at least 10 games if not closer to 20 where he shoots the ball like crazy. That's just who Russ is.
We really really need Cam back.
Also, after thinking about it, I wonder if it wasn't a bit planned for Russ to be the absolute focal point so as to deliver the "You don't have to worry...I'm just as entertaining as any other player in the league" message to the fan-base/NBA in general.

Oklahoma City Thunder 113 - Los Angeles Lakers 96

Early signs of the Thunder playing more as a team as they mess together. Westbrook continues to emphasize TEAM as he distributes the ball where he involves all players on the floor. New comers Ilyasova, Sabonis, Christon & Abrines seem to be getting comfortable with Donovan's offensive schemes.
Dre appears more involved in the offense.
Billy Donovan does have his work cut out for him.
We get to see what they are made of with the next two games.... Would love to see them win at least one of these two upcoming road games against two playoff teams but would be happy with just a good showing against them.
OKC vs the lakers was the most team oriented game I've seen this season. Small sample, I know. With how they played against the suns and 76ers I thought they'd struggle again.
Two big contract extensions for Oladipo and Adams.
