NBA season opener thoughts 10/28

Last night I watched 2 of the 3 NBA season opener games. Here are some thoughts.

-Great win for the Spurs. Dallas will make the playoffs and normally plays them hard. They won without Kawhi Leonard and Tiago Splitter.

-I’m not sure Matt Bonner is an NBA player anymore. If the whole team is healthy I don’t think he gets any playing time.

-Speaking of still being in the NBA, how are Austin Daye and Charlie Villanueva still on rosters?

-It’s just one game, but Chandler Parsons looked bad. Without Dwight Howard inside to draw away defenders it will be interesting to see if he can create space and score on his own.

-Devin Harris on the other hand looked great. He has the potential to be a great scoring 6th man. He could play a Jason Terry type role for them this season off the bench.

-The Rockets CRUSHED the Lakers. It wasn’t even close. The score says they won by 18, but it was a lot worse.

-Trevor Ariza is an upgrade over Chandler Parsons. He’s a better 3 point shooter and a better defender. Those two things will help the Rockets be better this season.

-I’m not sure who is going to score off the bench for them though.

-The Lakers are bad. VERY bad! This is the worst Lakers team I’ve ever seen.

-Julius Randle is likely out for the season, which sucks. I was really looking forward to watching him play.

-Kobe Bryant and Carlos Boozer are the only starters on the Lakers. Byron Scott needs to tinker with the other three positons to see who is going to play the best this season.
