Didn’t he just have knee surgery? Not even sure if it’s been a month.

It's going to take a few more years for me to get used to the earlier start to the season. The damn thing really sneaks up on me. The leaves are still green in southern New England.

The Knicks are starting Burke & Frank tomorrow night. Mudiay won't dress, quite damning. I agree with the move though, Mudiay doesn't belong in the league IMO. Guy brings practically nothing to the table.

Yeah, didn't it used to be on Halloween? I distinctly remember going trick or treating in the 90s and people were watching opening night.

It used to be the first weekend in November...some years it was November 6th/7th, others it might be November 2nd or so, but it was in November.

Kyrie looking rusty, 0-8 FG at halftime, Simmons with 10/9/5/2/1 at the half.

Hot Take: there will be nights where Kyrie gets his 50% + shooting and drops 30-40 points and he looks unstoppable.. but every other game Boston is not a worse team with him off the floor. The energy and defensive boost they get from having Rozier and Smart occupy minutes effects their team in more ways than if Kyrie is hot/cold IMO.. and we got enough sample size of that dating back to last season even.

I still think they will be in a tough spot a couple years down the line if they lock up Kyrie long term. They’ll have decisions on how to pay he, Horford, Brown, Tatum, Hayward, and whoever else they add in the meantime. Remember they likely get another top 5 pick this year, which just adds another name to the list.

Only for some parts of a 10 or so year stretch in the 90s. Since pre-merger it’s pretty much always been October. In fact, immediately post merger for about 5 years the opening game was earlier than it is now.
