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

Will history be made early in the 2nd game?

Well deserved for that city

My favorite Achilles tear since Durant’s in 2019 Finals

He’ll be fine (in 2026-2027) and just got his 350M extension, I think he’ll survive.

Boston won’t though.

I hope the Maple Leafs lose in 7 and a donkey bites your micro peen off.

I like Tatum. He seems like a genuinely good dude.

It’ll be Panthers in 6 anyway; they can’t hurt me. The Leafs are a cursed choker franchise.

Whining about not getting minutes on a gold medal winning team full of all-time greats (that narrowly won the gold) suggests not so much.

Welp, time to bring out my Knicks hat on Wednesday.

OKC vs NYK would be a fun Finals.

Whining is a strong interpretation.

OKC just became massive favorites to win the title tonight. You should be celebrating this turn of events more than anyone.

Bitching is more accurate, sure.

That's pretty stupid to say.

First off, Tatum is not a bad dude. Second, Boston was never going to be a dynasty with this group. They would have been lucky to win another title. Last year they had an easy path.

Like Boston was coming back from 3-1 down.

Plus, OKC would handle Boston easily.

Knicks aren’t any good. Boston could come back down 3-1 over that roster with Tatum.

And OKC should beat every team but that doesn’t mean they would or will. Experience matters.

I don't celebrate harm to others, well, most of the time.

But yes I am pleased with the 3-1. Feel awful for Tatum though.
