Jim Traber recaps the Oklahoma City Thunder’s opening night win against the San Antionio Spurs. Did Chet show you enough to make you believe he will be consistently aggressive, or do you want to see him string a few of those games together? Should the Spurs be concerned with Wemby’s inefficiency, or is it just one game? Are you surprised the Eagles could be that careless with the health of Jalen Hurts? What did you make of Paul George’s performance in his first game for the Celtics? Are the Sixers a legitimate Eastern Conference contender this season? Should De’Aaron Fox have been ejected for his slamming of Chet Holmgren last night? Is it unserious to consider Victor Wembanyama the best player in basketball?
