First full night of the season brings 11 games, closing with Stephen Curry and the Warriors at Luka Doncic and the Lakers at 10 pm ET on ESPN. Curry is expected to play. Butler, Moody and Porzingis are out.

22 teams tonight. One couch. One remote. One dog who thinks the remote is his. Cooper and I can't agree on a game. Which one's worth the fight?

Reason number 8000 for not watching the NBA anymore xitter.cf/nflfrascella/status/21…
New rule in the NBA: You are allowed to take 9 steps without dribbling, and that’s NOT traveling.

More flopping, travelling, and 3 point bricks to look forward to. Opening night was a joke, refs. are comically bad. Silver loves it!

As 22 @NBA teams open their season Let’s remember that 2 @wnba teams refuse to stay and stand on the court to honor the country that gives them the opportunity to play despite losing millions of $$$ And @nba remains silent not to offend those who piss on America Amazing
