Season starts tonight with Knicks and Celtics followed by Lakers and TWolves.

Will history be made early in the 2nd game?

A retaliation hit on Luka is now a “play on the ball” per these refs, cool

[KC_Connection]

Looks like he’s done for the game too, DeVincenzo’s work pays off

This series is over

He played the ball and Luka's fat made him bend funny and get hurt.

The guy was pissed he got hit on the previous Reaves drive the play before it and took a massive hack at Luka’s head/shoulder area because of it, there was never any intent to play the ball there and it was obvious in real time

Yep. This game meant absolutely nothing to the Warriors. They know exactly what they're doing.

Redick gonna keep doubling Ant and essentially leaving his team in 4 on 3?

Houston is the better overall team of the two but Kerr knows they’ll have the refs at home in game 6 and wanted to have his 3 veterans 100% and rested for that one. Makes sense to me.

Giving up open dunks and threes every play isn’t the best defensive game plan I’ve ever seen from a coach.

Completely agree, but they're young and inexperienced, and unfortunately Golden State has them right where they want them.

Reaves now 1 for 7 from three, throwing up absolute bricks on open shots

Can LeBron get some help? The age old question

[Sassy Squatch]

Why in the **** is Luka still playing? He's dead weight now.

Dead weight Luka still might be better than their trash bench

[KC_Connection]

Maybe Bronny can make open threes if Reaves is just gonna brick them all

[KC_Connection]

So it’s “marginal contact” when Luka hacks Randle from 3, but not marginal when Brooks touches Butler’s jersey

Very consistent from the NBA

[KC_Connection]

1 for 9 for Reaves from three with 5 turnovers, there’s a decent argument bench him in the 4th
