    Game 1 of the KD era was a complete success in my mind.

    Extremely optimistic.

    Amen is a wing who can playmake when defenses don’t dare him to shoot.

    FVV gets Segun and Durant easier looks and helps them save gas.

    I missed that. Got away with that but honestly shouldn’t have gone to OT to begin with.

    We can trade Tari and Reed anytime we want, but it takes 2 to tango. Tari and Reed is a perfect match for Reeves, but we need Tari until DFS shows he can play this year and I’m not sure the Lakers would make the trade, although they are going to lose him for nothing next year.

    As bad as he was, I’d rather watch Reed struggle than deal with a second round of the Westbrick experience.

    Sorry to break it to you but if you are going to include Jalen Williams being out in your argument, I can include all of ours that are out.

    there is a poster on a forum or in discord out there in detroit who favorited Killian Hayes and ruined his career.

    Maybe bad residual feelings from his stint with the Harden Rockets?

    What shows up as TO’s on Reed’s box score would be hidden as missed ill-advised hero ball shots on Westbrook’s box score

    We lost by one against the defending champs tonight. It was the first game with a new group. A lot of mistakes were made, Amen was injured, but this team showed tonight that it is a contender.

    i think Tari playing for a contract going to be the worst tari we have ever seen.

    by the end of the 3rd quarter, KD had played all but a little over 3 minutes of game time

    I hope Ime understands that this man is 37 years old and that he needs to manage his minutes before he gets injured or starts breaking down

    You mean Tilman’s Rockets? Paul had no problem signing with Harden’s Clippers. I’m sure Paul hasn’t forgotten about being the “worst contract in sports” and being told he wouldn’t be traded just to be traded.

    Bro, I am making a positive criticism. I honestly think he could be used as a shooter rather than a ball handler. This thought I had even before this game.

    What, the fact that he can’t play an intense game without cramping up? Someone let him know what an electrolyte is.

    It was a good start imho. OKC is a really good and experienced as a team together. This one could have easily gone our way. Keep playing hard and smart and learn from our mistakes and we'll be in good shape to be competitive against OKC in the playoffs.
