FBI waiting for the season to kick off….
As they say, timing is everything in sports and politics, and now fighting crime!

Yup. You know these types of things are very political and this will be seen as a major coup for the Trump admin so they had to make a splash.
What was actually crazy to me was to see the name of the son of one of John Gottis right hand men in the indictment. Angelo Ruggerio Jr... The FBI tapped his phone back in the 80s and got a lot of intel on Gotti.......here his son is 30+ years later still part of the Gambinos. The Mafia is clearly so resilient.

We had some games tonight!
More offence than you could poke a stick at. SGA, Siakim, Mathurin, Gordon, Curry all going off.
Crazy stat of the night, Aaron Gordon the first player to hit 10 3s in a season opener since Terry Rozier. Yep Terry Rozier

@mariner4life they’ve got two players that play out too.
-
This is pretty wild given the players these guys became.
Edit - think the link still works despite looking broken
-
yeah it is. he's a bit of a freak
-
They’ve tried for a while to label certain guys as the unicorn, but they finally found a real one.
-
A few injuries over the last couple of days - Ant Man, Luka, Trae Young, AD (yes it’s true)
-
I wonder how well Wembys body will hold up over the years. He's so freakishly built I hope he's able to enjoy a long and healthy career.

Toronto started today with a front court of RJ Barrett, Ingram and Barnes - max height 6’8
They got out rebounded (by the best rebounding team in the league) 53-23 for the game

I think Barrett started in the backcourt, but they did have the huge rookie, Murray-Boyles at 6’7 starting in the front court…
In 19 minutes Stevie Adams got the same number of offensive rebounds alone (8) that the Raptors starting front court got in total.

Jeez bro, it’s not like I actually watched the game, it’s the regular season still!
I just saw the top 3 bloke on the box score then checked the height of the rookie to see if I was missing something
-
Spurs first 5-0 start in franchise history.
-
Just walked past Doug Christie near the Kings arena.
All decked out in his training gear, I thought it was a player when I first saw him. Never ceases to amaze me how tall these guys are when you see them irl. I'm over 6 foot but they are freakishly tall.
-
Fox due to make his season debut tomorrow v Pelicans.

Given Lakers great start to the season I think they are gonna struggle to incorporate LeBron back in the lineup down the road.
It's the hardest thing to have these iconic players still playing when their reputation and salary doesn't match what they can do in the present day. Not always in a statistical way either, more so in the way they disrupt the team chemistry and take minutes away from younger players.

Ideally they can sell him on playing less minutes to maximise his on court output in a shorter time. That would keep him fresher for longer
