Spurs-Thunder is such a fascinating game of matchups. Spurs started with four guards around Wemby. When they subbed and brought in some more size, the Thunder downsized and it's four guards around Mara.
Sixers starters in season opener: Tyrese Maxey - 19 FGA, 5 AST Joel Embiid - 15 FGA, 6 AST Jaylen Brown - 14 FGA, 6 AST LeBron James - 13 FGA, 7 AST VJ Edgecombe - 10 FGA, 1 AST Maxey led the way with 28 PTS https://t.co/V6WiVcVdXf
He got one hoop inside, but if the Spurs are going to guard Chet Holmgren with a guard, he needs to live in the paint. A lot of these possessions have him way outside and not involved in the play at all.
LeBron James and Jaylen Brown in Sixers debut: LeBron: 14 PTS, 9 REB, 7 AST Jaylen: 19 PTS, 8 REB, 6 AST Beat the Knicks on ring night at MSG. https://t.co/nZdNgmuQ0W
VJ Edgecombe is so good. I also think Tyrese Maxey makes All-NBA again this season. Special backcourt in Philly.
Lineup alert: Thunder will start Gilgeous-Alexander, Wallace, Jalen Williams, Holmgren, Hartenstein on Tuesday.
Lineup alert: Spurs will start Fox, Harper, Castle, Vassell, Wembanyama on Tuesday.
Knicks centers in the 1st half: Andre Drummond 10 PTS, 12 REB, 3 AST, 2 BLK, +8 in 17 MIN Karl-Anthony Towns 5 PTS, 3 REB, 1 AST, 3 PF, -3 in 6 MIN https://t.co/31uIHmMF8Q
Tyrese Maxey hit the trampoline and used to Go-Gadget Arms to get that steal. He got up there quick!
