Yeah they looked good for their first game. I was especially impressed with DWade.

Did Avery Bradley play last night? Figured he'd play better defense on Dwayne Wade.

DWade? He didn't really have all that good of a game. He was sloppy and forced some bad shots. If you look at the box score, you might think he did well but James had the best game for the Heat.

Yea, had Lebron not cramped up he would have had a monster game, still did really.

Am I the only one who thinks as good as Courtney Lee is, Avery Bradley will be the starter when he returns? I was watching Lee all night yesterday and it felt like he made no impact.

I agree that Avery SHOULD be starting

Celtics aren't sweating the regular season. They only care to be good enough to make the playoffs and then they go from there. I would not jump off a bridge if I were a Celts fan just yet. Celtics have a lot of new pieces to integrate and the only new pieces the Heat aquired (Allen, Lewis)are asked to play off ball and knock down open j's. They were actually saying about a week ago that they are not used to being that open on shots.

As far as the Heat go I have never seen them look that good in the half court on offense before. That defense coupled with that execution on offense equals trouble for the rest of the league.

Lakers just need to learn how to play together and develop some kind of system that utilizes all their strengths on offense and they will be fine(Easier said than done). Mavs played out of their heads last night with Curry giving them good minutes and VC looking better than usual. Collison was solid as well. Carlisle is also a pretty good coach.

Can't wait to see Spurs and Hornets tonight. Spurs will win, but Mr. Unibrow and Rivers debut.

As a die-hard Celtics fan, I came away pleased. KG stunk up the joint, but he'll be fine. I LOVED Pierce - he's just an amazing player, and the best I've seen since Bird. This new bench is going to gel and it will be the best bench this team's had since 1986... Green, Sullinger, Terry, Barbosa (who was phenomenal last night), Milicic and Wilcox (when they come back healthy) and then Bradley's health.

Look, Miami is a damn good team - no doubt the top of the East. You had the ring ceremony, opening night, the whole Ray Allen thing, home game for Miami - it was playing out to their advantage. Yeah, Lebron got cramps - but that's not Boston's fault. You play the game as it's presented to you. They cut it to 4 with 2 minutes left, but give Miami credit for finishing out.

This Celtics game should win between 55-60 games...

I think a late 4th quarter lineup of Rondo, Terry, Pierce and Garnett is extremely scaryyyyyyy. There will be some clutch jumpers coming out of that lineup this season.

Excited for the Clipper game tonight. Hope to see Blake plenty improved and I'm curious to see what Crawford can do. I expect Memphis to be ready after that game 7 loss.

Excited for the Pistons opener tonight. We will hopefully see Greg Monroe continuing his development into one of the better big men in the game.

Glad to see that Memphis Grizzlies basketball is back. All of their games come on my tv so I will be tuned in to their matchup against the Clippers tonight. Should be interesting.
